The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at this stretch of coast for a long time. Let me tell you, the next 16 days are a real test of patience. The only spot in the mix is Tea Break, a consistent reef break that’s got a decent setup, but the surf gods are keeping things locked away for most of the run.
The water is sitting at 85°F and that’s pretty normal for this time of year, no real temperature weirdness, just the usual warm bath.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much. From the start of the period on Wednesday 2nd September right through to the afternoon of Wednesday 16th September, it’s a whole lot of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly 1 ft to 5 ft, and the wind is stuck in a cross-shore groove from the east, blowing 9 to 16 mph. That cross-chop is making everything messy. The combined wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, with the highest early reading being 141 (moderate energy) on the Wednesday afternoon, but it’s still a write-off. The swell period is often short, 4 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real push or shape to the waves. It’s not a good look for a paddle.
The only real standout, and I’m not getting too excited about it, is the afternoon of Wednesday 16th September. The wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, which gives us a rare “clean” reading. The swell is 3 ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 97 (weak). The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best of the lot, and it’s not saying much. It’s just a small, clean-ish window.
If you’re desperate, that Wednesday 16th afternoon is the only time to even think about it. But honestly, the setup is so weak and the wait is so long, it’s a tough sell. The reef might make something of that little swell, but it’s not going to be a classic.
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.
