The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Tea Break.

Right now, there’s nothing doing. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell with no decent surf on offer. The first few days are a write-off – Monday the 24th through to Sunday the 30th of August, the swell is small, mostly around 2ft to 5ft, but it’s coming from the east with a short period of 5 to 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-shore breeze all day, 12 to 19 mph, putting a lumpy cross-chop on the surface. The water temp is 84°F with a small anomaly of 0.5°F, so pretty average for the time of year. The combined energy is weak to moderate (39 to 310), but it doesn’t matter – the conditions are poor, and the score is zero. Nothing to get excited about.

Then from Monday the 31st of August through to the end of the forecast, it’s more of the same. The swell gets a bit bigger on the 1st of September, around 4ft from the east-northeast, and the period stretches to 12 seconds, so there’s a bit more shape to it. The combined energy builds to strong levels (508 to 590) on that Tuesday and Wednesday, but the wind is still cross-shore, 6 to 12 mph, and the surf is only marginal at best, with a score of 1 or 2 out of 10. By Thursday the 3rd, the swell drops back under 3ft, and the period stays around 11 seconds, but the energy is still moderate to strong (176 to 412). The wind never turns clean, and the comment is “poor surf conditions” right through to the 8th of September.

The bottom line: there’s no standout session here. The winds are always cross or cross-onshore, the swell direction is east-ish, which isn’t Tea Break’s optimum from the north-northeast, and the break is a reef that’s consistent but exposed. If you’re a kite surfer, the moderate to fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy sea might be your thing, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long, frustrating stretch. The pattern is a full 16 days of flat, poor-quality surf. It’s one of those runs where the forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say save your energy.

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.
