Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tea Break over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. I've been looking at the charts for the next 16 days and, well, I gotta be honest with you – it's a bit of a flat, frustrating stretch ahead.
We've got one spot on the menu, Tea Break, a reef break that's usually consistent. But for the next couple of weeks, it's looking like a write-off. The wind is locked in from the East, blowing cross-shore every single day, and it's not light. We're talking a steady 12 mph to 19 mph breeze, which is just going to put a nasty cross-chop on the surface. The swell is coming from the East too, but the period is short, mostly between 5 and 8 seconds. That means weak, wind-swell bump. The combined energy (324) is moderate, but it's all messy, poorly organised energy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
For Thursday the 9th through the weekend, forget it. The swell is hovering around 4 ft to 6 ft, but with that constant cross-wind, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. It's going to be a crumbly, lumpy mess. This isn't paddle surfing; honestly, with that wind and the beach/reef setup, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.
The pattern doesn't change. We're looking at the same story every single day: moderate to fresh cross-shore winds, short-period swell, and poor quality. Even into the second week, from the 16th to the 24th of July, it's the same old tune. The swell drops a little, sometimes down to 3 ft, and the energy weakens to a weak 84, but the wind just won't quit. There's no standout day, no window of clean conditions. The entire 16-day forecast is a blank run for decent surf. It's a tough one, but sometimes the ocean just shuts down. Keep your eye on the charts, things can change, but for now, I'd save the wax.
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.
