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!
Awesome early surfing and SUP boarding with glassy waves. And if life could not get better, we had a Humpback whale and his calf passing by and showing off close by from us. What a show !!!
In fact, each January through March, more than 10,000 incredible Humpback whales of the North Atlantic population, return to the waters surrounding the DR to mate and breed.
We were stocked to see those two whales so close from us! Come on down and enjoy this amazing place with us!
