The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the charts for our local zone.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this 16-day window is a tough pill to swallow. For the vast majority of the period, it's a howling cross-shore wind mess. We're looking at a solid run of poor conditions right from the start. There's surf out there, but it's lumpy, messy, and not worth paddling out for. We're talking about a long stretch of nearly two weeks where I just can't point you to a decent wave.

The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the very tail end. On the morning of August 14th, things finally start to look up. The wind shifts to a cross-offshore, and for the first time in weeks, the ocean surfaces look clean. Tea Break is the spot to watch. On the Friday the 14th, the swell is sitting around 6 ft to 6 ft from the east. The wave energy is in the moderate range (306 to 332), and it's a 7-second period swell. That's a short-period windswell, so it will be a bit sectiony, but with the wind turning clean, it'll be the best we've seen. The water temp is about 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year.

For a couple of days there, the swell bumps up. By the morning of the 16th (Sunday), it's 6 ft from the east, and the energy kicks up to 378. Then on the Sunday afternoon, it jumps to 8 ft from the east with a combined energy of a strong 742. That's some serious size for Tea Break. However, the wind stays cross-shore on the 16th, so while the swell has the power, it'll be lumpy again. That 16th afternoon is expert territory – 8 ft with that much push is not for the faint of heart, and the messy wind will make it a beast.

So, the plan is clear: if you've been waiting, circle the Friday the 14th. It's not a world-class day, but after this long flat spell of bad wind, it's the one to get wet. The rest of the window? I'd leave the board in the car.

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.
