It’s pretty much always windy here in Cabarete!
The trade winds, the coral reef, and the mountains in the background come together to create a unique and perfect thermal effect which is a formula for strong and consistent winds.
Additionally, the wind blows easterly, blessing Cabarete with a side-onshore wind direction.
And to top it all off, the water temperature is always about 26°C (79°F), which means, even in the winter, you can get in the water without a wetsuit.

Wind

The wind mainly blows from the east meaning its cross-onshore. This means it’s always easy to get back to the beach.

Water

The protecting reef is located roughly 600m offshore and offers fun peeling waves for wave riding.
On the inside, the water is flatter offering perfect conditions for freestyle, slalom and just cruising.
With stronger winds and larger swells, it does get choppier on the inside.

Shorebreak

For the most part, especially in summer, there is little to no shore break in Cabarete Bay making it easy to get in and out. Especially with the gently sloping sandy beach in front of our condos, so you won’t need water shoes.

Weather

The Caribbean Climate is gloriously sunny with even warmth all year round!
It is moderated by prevailing Trade Winds.
Extreme weather in the Cabarete remains something of a rarity. Year round we are blessed with an average of 28°C and our water temperature following close behind at 26°C. So you can leave the thick neoprene at home.

Tides

Cabarete Bay is not particularly tidal but you can notice slight differences at high and low.

Seasons

As we previously mentioned, summer is the windiest season. We still have good wind in the winter but it is not as strong. For over 30 years, Cabarete has offered the perfect playground to watersports fanatics from all corners of the globe.
