Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let me level with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got one break on the menu, Tea Break, and the next sixteen days are pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. The whole period is plagued by onshore cross-shore winds that never let up, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell is there, but the wind just chews it up.
Starting from Monday July 6th, it’s a no-go. You’ve got a consistent 5ft to 7ft easterly swell pumping in, with moderate to fresh cross-shore breeze all day, every day. The combined wave energy ranges from 173 to 419 (moderate to strong), so there’s plenty of juice, but the wind state is described as “moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop” or worse, “fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop.” That’s not surfable – it’s a mess.
As we roll through the first week and into the second, the pattern doesn’t change. The swell drops off a bit around the 13th and 14th, with a tiny 0.3ft from the north on Tuesday morning (14th) and a 0.7ft on Wednesday afternoon (15th), but those are just blips in an otherwise poor run. The period is short – mostly 5 to 8 seconds – so even when there’s size, the waves lack shape and power. The optimum swell direction for Tea Break is NNE, but everything’s coming from the east or ENE, so the break isn’t working as it should.
There are no standouts. Nothing worth paddling out for. If you’re after clean waves, you’re looking at a solid two-week gap of poor surf. The only thing this setup might be good for is kite surfing – with that constant cross-shore wind and moderate to strong energy, a kiter would have a field day. For us paddle surfers, it’s best to sit this one out and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s grim.

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.
