Wind Reports and Weather

---

Winds are normally lighter in the morning. Summer/Fall: All abilities. Novice sailing in the morning hours. Winter/Spring: Intermediate to expert recommended. Great beginning wave sailing year-round. Waves and chop can be challenging December through April. In the summer a protective reef on the windward side of the bay creates flat water sailing conditions close to shore. Sail small "easy" waves on the reef one half mile out. From mid-December through March the waves are larger with chop inside and occasional shore break. In April and May waves and chop are moderate. Year-round water temperature near 80 degrees ... lovely!

As is traditional in January, Cabarete experienced a mixed bag of conditions to kick off the new year. Despite frequent interruptions to the trade wind, some 50% of the days provided planing conditions albeit sometimes only for an hour or so...
Some days saw strong north winds with a chilly (?) 23degC and challenging but fun sailing and a rare opportunity for some port tack jumping! The recent days have seen a return to classic Cabarete with the afternoon wind machine kicking in to give good starboard riding and some clean logo high waves on the reef.. It bodes well for February often the best month of the year for the combination of wind and waves...

Off the water, the evening bar "Voy Voy" continues to rock with Mondays (Karioke) , Wednesdays (live music) and Thursdays (Ladies night) drawing the crowds making Voy Voy THE place to be and be seen on the beach. Also from Voy Voy is the launch of their new "traditional dominican menu" ... Great food and competetive prices.. A must try for all guests.

So, plenty of reasons to come... See you here soon.
