The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you: it’s a tough stretch ahead. The finds are pretty slim. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with very few windows where it’s even worth paddling out, so don’t hold your breath for any magic days.
The window kicks off on Friday the 11th, but it’s a write-off. Onshore cross-breeze, lumpy, and the waves are just messy. That sets the tone for a whole week of the same – cross-shore winds, poor surf conditions, and energy readings that are mostly in the weak to moderate range (239 to as low as 42). The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 16th. Even then, it’s only a 1-star day. The afternoon cleans up a little with a cross-offshore breeze, and you get a glimpse of surfable waves, but it’s still only ordinary.
Then it goes back to dirt for another long stretch. Wednesday the 23rd morning shows a bit of hope again with clean conditions and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny. Honestly, it’s not until Thursday the 24th morning that we get the best of the bunch. The wind goes glassy, the water feels about average for this time of year, and there’s a little pulse of groundswell from the north. The energy is moderate (140), period is a nice long 10 seconds, and the wave height is only 3 ft, so it’s small – but glassy conditions can make a reef like Tea Break (a consistent reef break, exposed to NNE swell) look way better than the numbers suggest. The swell is coming in from the north, which is not quite the optimum, but with clean glass, you’ll still find a few runners. This is the standout, just for the conditions.
Into the final days, Friday the 25th morning is another clean, cross-offshore moment with a little north swell, but it’s still small and the energy is weak (93). After that, the weekend looks poor again.
Overall, it’s a lean run. Persistence is key, and forecasts can always flip, but right now, the only real shot at something half-decent is that Thursday the 24th morning. Mark it in your calendar for a dawny.

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.
