The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a rough stretch ahead. The entire 16-day window is one long, frustrating gap with no good surf on offer. The only spot in the frame is Tea Break, a reef set-up that’s consistent and exposed to the swell, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year.
From Thursday morning, August 6th, right through to Friday afternoon, August 21st, it’s all cross-shore wind. Every single session is tagged with "poor surf conditions." The wind is coming out of the east and east-northeast, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, and sometimes up to 22 mph. That’s a moderate to fresh breeze, and it’s putting a real chop on the surface. Combined swell energy starts weak at around 113 and climbs into the moderate range, hitting 492 by Tuesday the 18th, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is ruining it.
The swell direction is mostly from the east and east-northeast, with heights ranging from 3 ft to 6 ft and short periods between 5 and 9 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell, not the kind of groundswell that gets a reef like Tea Break singing. The swell is there, but it’s a messy, lumpy cross-chop all the way through. There is no standout. There is no best on offer. The whole period is a write-off for a paddle. If you’re a kite surfer, that steady cross-shore wind might look interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a hard pass.
The forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
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.
