Righto, let’s get into it. I’m looking at Tea Break, and honestly, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a consistent run of swell, but the wind just won’t play ball, keeping things messy. The water temp is sittin' around 83°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year – no surprises there.

Tea Break is a consistent reef break that likes an optimum swell from the NNE, so that exposed easterly fetch is a bit off the mark. It’s an intermediate-level wave, but through this whole period the wind is nearly always cross-shore from the east, at times blowing a fresh 19 mph. That’s gonna put a nasty lumpy cross-chop on the face for most sessions. Wave energy fluctuates, peaking at a moderate 394 (around Thursday the 9th morning), with a short 7-8 second period – so it’s all windswell, meaning it’ll be peaky and kinda weak, without the punch.

There’s no standout day here. Every single session from now through to the 21st of July is tagged as poor surf conditions with a score of zero. The only slight glimmer is the Thursday morning of the 9th, where the wind goes cross-offshore and the model shows it as “clean.” The swell’s about 6ft with that 8-second period and moderate energy at 394. It’s the closest thing to a window, but still, with the wind being cross-off, it’s far from ideal and the swell still lacks the quality of a proper groundswell. For the rest, it’s just a parade of choppy, lumpy, cross-shore slop.

Even for a reliable reef like this, when the wind’s against it, it’s a tough paddle out there. There’s nothing in this run that I’d get excited about. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Thursday, but don’t hold your breath. You might find it more interesting as a kite session with that consistent cross-wind and moderate wave energy. Otherwise, maybe give it a miss. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.

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.
