The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

The next 16 days look pretty flat for proper surf. It’s all easterly swell, but the wind is cross-shore almost the whole time, making it lumpy and messy. The only real bright spot is a couple of mornings near the end of the month where the wind shifts offshore and cleans things up a bit. But even then, it’s not great.

The whole forecast is at Tea Break, a reef break that’s open to the swell. The ideal swell direction is from the NNE, but we’re getting easterly swell instead, so it’s not hitting the break right. No water temp anomaly given, so it’s about what you’d expect.

Tuesday 21st July through Tuesday 28th July: Day after day, it’s the same. Swell runs from 3ft to 6ft, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, reading between 114 and 304. The problem is the wind – cross-shore at 9 to 18 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. Surf quality is poor, score is zero. Not worth it.

Wednesday 29th July – a little change. The morning has a cross-offshore wind (ESE at 12 mph), which is clean. Swell is 5ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and energy is 247 (moderate). The surf is still marginal, but the score is a 1. Afternoon goes back to messy.

Thursday 30th July – the best of the bunch. Morning has a clean cross-offshore wind (E at 12 mph). Swell is 5ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and energy is 300 (moderate). This is the only session where you might get a few clean ones. Score is a 1. Afternoon gets choppy again.

From Friday 31st July onward, it’s back to cross-shore winds and poor surf. Swell drops to 3ft to 5ft, period short, and energy fades to weak (46 to 280). Quality is poor, scores are zero. The end of the outlook is a total washout.

So the honest truth: the only session worth a look is the morning of Thursday 30th July, and even then it’s marginal. The rest is a long, choppy, cross-shore mess. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.

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.
