The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, mate, I'm not gonna lie to you. The next two weeks are looking pretty grim. We've got a solid stretch ahead with no real surf options worth paddling out for, so don't bother checking the charts every morning. The entire 16-day window is basically a write-off.
The main spot on offer is Tea Break, a consistent reef break that's exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We start from Wednesday, 22 July, and it's just poor surf conditions straight off the bat. The swell is tiny, coming from the east-northeast at around 4 ft with a short period of 7 seconds. Combined wave energy is weak at 118. To make matters worse, we've got a moderate cross-shore wind blowing at 16 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. Not even worth a look.
Thursday 23 July through to Wednesday 29 July is more of the same: cross-shore winds, short-period junk, and wave energy bouncing between weak and moderate. The swell is always from the east, periods are mostly 5 to 8 seconds, and heights sit between 3 ft and 6 ft. Thursday morning 30 July has a brief moment of clean conditions with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is still weak and short period. The wave comment for each and every day is "poor surf conditions". There is no standout session anywhere.
From Wednesday 30 July right through to Thursday 6 August, it just keeps going. More east swell, more cross-shore winds, wave energy stays weak to moderate. The only thing that changes is the date. There's no point chasing it. This is a blank run.
We've got a consistent break here, but with no decent swell and rubbish wind, it's just not happening. For the next 16 days, the setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stay patient, mate. The forecasts can change.
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.
