The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

Well, I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a dud. There’s nothing that qualifies as a good surf session at Tea Break. The swell is weak and the wind is almost always wrong, so you’re not getting any clean lines.

The first real chance to even think about paddling out is Monday, September 7th, but it’s a non-starter. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east, period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-shore. The water temps are sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The whole day is a write-off – the wave comment says “poor surf conditions” and the energy is a measly 85.

Tuesday the 8th is the same story. 3 ft in the morning, 4 ft in the afternoon, but the wind is still cross or cross-on, and the energy barely gets past 112. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell bumps up to 5 ft in the afternoon with a period of just 6 seconds and a cross-shore wind at 19 mph. That’s a lumpy, messy combo – energy hits 212, but it’s all chopped up. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

Thursday the 10th through the weekend is the same pattern: 4 ft to 5 ft, east swell, period rarely above 8 seconds, and cross-shore winds. The energy ranges from 150 to 267, but it’s never clean. The best you’ll get is Friday morning, September 11th, with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 4 ft and 8 seconds, so it’s still a marginal session.

The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 14th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, the swell drops back to 2 ft to 4 ft, periods are short (4 to 8 seconds), and the wind stays cross-shore. Energy levels are mostly below 100, with a few blips up to 121. By the time you hit the 19th and 20th, there’s a risk of thunderstorms, and the swell is barely 3 ft. It’s a long, flat, and frustrating run.

To be honest, this is one of those stretches where the blank run is just normal for the area. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no window of hope. If you’re desperate, you could sneak out on that Friday morning the 11th for a few weak, grovelly waves, but don’t expect much. The forecast can change, but right now, I’d hang the board up for a while.

Rusty.

Information about the Tea Break Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tea Break provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tea Break can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tea Break surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tea Break) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tea Break may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Tea Break is 7 km (4 miles) from Puerto Plata. If you plan a holiday in Amber Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Puerto Plata. Puerto Plata has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
