The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's comin' our way. Gotta be straight with you – this run is lookin' pretty flat for a good, long while, so patience is gonna be the name of the game.
We’re looking at a stretch of real quiet surf right through the next week and a half. From now through to the 24th of September, it's mostly small, weak windswell, with the combined energy staying pretty low, mostly in that weak range. The wind is a consistent cross-shore from the east, which means a constant chop on the surface. Not what you want for a clean session. Honestly, most of this period is a write-off for a decent paddle.
There’s a flicker of hope right at the end of the week on the 25th and 26th of September. We get a morning of glassy conditions with the wind droppin' out to next to nothing. The swell itself is tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft – and from the north, but that glassy surface is a rare treat. These are surfable waves, but they're very ordinary. Don't get your hopes up for anything with any push.
Now, the real standout, and it’s a long way off, is the 27th and 28th of September. We've got a pulse of groundswell showing up from the north-northeast, with periods hitting a solid 11 seconds and energy that’s lookin' moderate. Swell heights are nudging up to 4 ft. The only spot we're looking at is Tea Break, a consistent reef break. This swell direction matches its exposure from the NNE, so it'll focus that energy nicely. The only letdown? That cross-shore easterly wind is still gonna be there, putting a bit of chop on an otherwise promising swell. If the wind cleans up as we get closer, this could be the one to go for. For now, it's a promising but less certain long-range call.
There's nothing in this 16-day window that’s gonna blow your mind. The best bet is to wait for that last weekend of September, keep an eye on that wind, and see if that northerly groundswell fills in clean. Until then, it’s a flat spell.
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.
