Windsurfing Dominican Republic

When talking about Windsurfing Dominican Republic the first name that comes to mind is Cabarete beach. This sport can be practiced all over the Dominican Republic Beaches, but Cabarete is on the world windsurfing map since the 1980’s.

Cabarete is located near Puerto Plata Dominican Republic and its location is what’s important regarding this sport. The Eastern Trade Winds blow right to left across the Bay.

The winds are light in the mornings when beginners can start taking a feel for this sport. As the day advances the wind gets stronger providing an excellent high wind condition for surfing.

There is an outer reef surrounding Cabarete that provides protection within the bay as well a scene for the waves to sail and jump.

Hotels Combined .com

Punta Cana is located on the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic facing the island of Puerto Rico. It is a 20 mile, about 32 km long stretch of white sands, some of the best Caribbean Beaches.

Punta Cana which was once a sugar plantation and pasture land is now a highly developed tourist site including the northern portion of Bavaro Beach.

It all started in 1980 with a Club Med is now home to more than thirty spectacular Punta Cana Resorts with thousands of rooms attracting tourists from all over the world.

The winds are at their strongest during the month of June and consistently strong from late spring to late summer. As a rule of thumb, the winds tend to be stronger in the afternoons than in the mornings. Afternoon winds can range from 10 to 25 miles per hour, year round.
