G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about Tea Break over the next 16 days. Straight up – it’s a total dud. Not one single session in this whole stretch gets any kind of thumbs-up. Every record says “poor surf conditions” and scores a zero. That’s a long, ugly flat spell.

From Sunday 5 July, we’ve got swell around 3 ft to 5 ft, coming from the east with short periods of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate (111 to 139). The wind is cross-shore from the east at 12 to 15 mph, messing up any chance of clean waves. Water temp is 83°, which is about normal for the time of year.

Monday 6 July and Tuesday 7 July bring a bit more swell – 5 ft to 6 ft – but still short period (6 to 7 seconds) and cross-shore wind. Energy climbs a bit (179 to 299), but it’s still poor, messy surf. Wednesday 8 July through Friday 10 July sees the swell hitting 6 ft to 7 ft, with energy peaking at 437, but the wind picks up to 15-18 mph, cross-shore, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. Periods barely touch 8 seconds.

From Saturday 11 July onward, the swell hangs between 4 ft and 5 ft, always east, always short period, always cross-shore. Tuesday 14 July has the highest energy at 286, but with a 7-second period and easterly cross-wind, it’s just more junk. The second week is the same story – no offshore winds, no glassy windows, no hope.

If you’ve got a kite, the wind might give you something to do, but for a surfboard? There’s nothing. This kind of blank run happens here, and forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.

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.
