THE SPOT IN CABARETE
Thanks to the countless possibilities to have fun on the water, Cabarete
offers the right holiday program for everybody, no matter if kitesurfers,
windsurfers or surfers, beginners or experts, and no matter if on the water
or on land.
WIND AND WAVES
The wind is moderate in the morning and gains strength at midday under
the influence of the trade wind. From May - October the wind blows
mainly side shore from the right with an average strength of 4-5 bft. From
November - April the wind blows mainly cross offshore from the right and is
less constant, but can deliver around 4m high waves at the reef. The reef
is about 800 m off of the beach and offers the ideal conditions for wave
beginners and wave experts. Flat water sailors get their money´s worth in
the area before the reef, while beginners and intermediates feel comfortable in the small standing area located directly
in front
CARIBBEAN
SEA of the center. We
DES CARAIBES
have a mobile kite school so it is alwaysMER
possible
to choose the perfect
spot depending upon the wind and waveKARIBIK
conditions as well as the needs

of the student. Surfing in Cabarete is a hot alternative
for all windsurfers
Flughafen
and kitesurfers. The beginner spot is only 5 minutes away from the center,
and directly in front of the Velero Beach Hotel there is Cabarete
a great spot for
intermediates. On top of all this we also organise excursions to the famous
and well-loved spot of Encuentro.

THE CENTER
The center is located upwind of the 2 km wide bay of Cabarete, together
with the Bic Surfshop and the Eze Restaurant/Bar in Plaza Carib Wind.
The center sits beneath shady palm trees, is very cosy, and offers a chillout area overlooking the ocean - only 30 m from the shore. Right in front
of the center there is an easy access for windsurfers of all levels as a reef
belt stops any shore break. The wind close to the beach is very stable, as
there are no obstacles in the background and therefore no wind shadow.
Thanks to the fact that the bay is protected by land on both sides and that
our team keeps an eye on you, you are very safe.
