The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s really no standout, no day where you’d be racing to get in the water. The first half of the period is particularly quiet, with nothing worth paddling out for until we get past the first week. The first real chance to even consider a wave doesn’t show up until Monday morning, the 7th of September, and even then, it’s barely worth mentioning.
So, let’s start where there’s a glimmer of hope. The only spot we’ve got intel on is Tea Break, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best on offer, and I’m using that term loosely, is the Monday morning session on the 7th of September. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the ESE at 6 mph, which is a real positive for getting some clean faces. The swell is small, only 3 ft from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit weak and won’t have much punch, but combined energy is sitting at 137 (moderate), so there’s a little something there. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Crowds are possible here, so you might have company.
The rest of the period is a write-off. The wind is consistently cross or cross-onshore, the swell is small and often short-period, and the conditions are continually described as poor. The 10th of September Thursday morning cleans up a bit with a cross-off wind and 4 ft east swell, but the low period (7 seconds) and marginal rating mean it’s not a game-changer. The 12th of September Saturday morning also has a clean cross-off, but the swell is a tiny 3 ft.
Honestly, we’ve got a long gap of poor surf with very little to recommend. The only real positive is that when the wind swings offshore, the conditions clean up, but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. If you’re desperate, the 7th of September Monday morning is the pick, but it’s a slim pick.
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.
