Itinerary / Highlights

THE KITESURFING
Cabarete is an excellent place to kitesurf with a variety of different spots to cater for a wide variety of standards. There are several schools and many kitesurfers of a high standard are based here.

THE WIND
This is another area influenced by the trade winds that are most reliable from January or February and continue right through until August. June has a reputation for being very windy and this is the time that the famous Cabarete Race week is run. The best time for waves is winter although there is almost certain to be some swell the whole year. The so-called cool season is from November to April, with what is considered pleasantly warm weather, relatively low humidity and low precipitation. On the coast, i.e. near the beaches, the temperature hovers fairly constantly around 29°C (84°F) during the day and drops to around a comfortable 20°C (68°F) at night.
