The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Tea Break is cookin' up for the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest, the first week and a half is a real bummer. We're lookin' at a solid 10-day gap with no surf worth talkin' about. The wind is a mess, mostly a side-shore chop, and the swell is tiny and weak. It's a real drought.
It all starts on Tuesday the 15th with a pathetic 2ft easterly swell, only 9 seconds apart – no punch at all. The wind is a 12 mph side-shore, churning it up. Just poor conditions everywhere. We see a little pulse on Thursday the 24th with a 3ft swell from the ENE at 8 seconds, but it's still a side-shore breeze. Then on the afternoon of Friday the 25th, it gets a little interesting: a 3ft NNE swell, the period stretches to 10 seconds, and we get a clean cross-off shore wind. The energy is finally buildin', but it's still only marginal.
The one true standout is on Monday, the 28th of September. We've got a 3ft swell from the NE with that same 10-second period, and the magic word is glassy. The wind is dead, only a 3 mph breeze out of the NE. It'll be as clean as a mirror. The energy is decent (157). It's a small day, but it's the only day where it's actually pleasant to sit out there. The crowds *sometimes* pop up, so expect a few heads, but for these little waves, it's your best bet.
After that, Tuesday the 29th has another glassy start with a 2ft NE swell, but it's very ordinary. Then the wind turns back on, and we finish the run on Wednesday the 30th with a tiny 1ft swell and a clean cross-off, but there's just not enough water to ride.
Bottom line: if you're jonesin' for a paddle, circle Monday the 28th. It's the only real window. The rest? You might be better off takin' a week off.
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.
