Cabarete Winds - Wind and Wave forecast

Cabarete's Wind Machine

Like most of the Caribbean Islands, Cabarete is blessed with consistent summer trade winds that blow from the East and North East. What makes Cabarete so special is that the DR is home to the highest mountain range in all of the Caribbean, with Duarte's Peak that reaches 10,700ft above sea level. And the 100ft mountains directly behind the Cabarete beach, together with Duarte's Peak cause the average 12 knot trade winds to accelerate and wrap around the mountain, in process becoming 15-25 knots from midday until the sun sets in the evening pretty every day during the summer months. The wind machine comes on strong every day like clockwork.

June, July and August are the premium wind sport months in Cabarete and one can expect wind almost every single day during this time. Getting skunked is not something that happens in Cabarete.

Around 5-6pm the winds calm down to a very gentle breeze, making dining on the beach a very pleasant experience.

In the morning the lack of strong wind allows those who over indulged the night before to sleep in late and recover. However, the gentle off-shore morning breeze makes a quick surfing trip to the nearby Enquentro Surf Beach a fun morning activity for those that wake up early. And at midday the wind machine switches on again and everyone takes to the water.

With its tropical warm waters, stunning palm lined beaches and quaint village life, Cabarete is the ultimate windsurfing and kitesurfing destination. With great surfing just short drive away.
