The surf was clean and glassy last week in the 3-6 ft range. At the weekend it got lightly bigger but the winds started blowing very early.

The trade winds get pushed to the south again, but they still can blow from Tuesday through Friday even if they don’t have full power. At the weekend it is getting difficult to see strong wind at Cabarete. The surf will keep on running in the 6-3 ft range from NE until Friday too. Than the swells drop down to 3 ft or less but still with good wave period and power.

Unfortunately our good wind system got disturbed and the trade winds could not bring us strong winds anymore to our region last week. We got just 2 days with decent winds around 15 KN on Friday through Saturday, but all the other days the wind was not strong enough for real windsurfing or good Kite boarding.

Windsurfing and Kite boarding
It’s incredible. Since the beginning of March we got 71 days of wind over 12 KN from East and this month we got already 9 days over 20 KN wind. This is the best winter since I am here (11 years) and guys who know Cabarete longer say, that this is one of the best winter ever, but that this was more common in the early 90’s.
Surfing and Body boarding.
The waves were smaller at the beginning of the week, but the surf was really clean and glassy in the mornings. During the weekend the surf was growing, but was blown out very fast. We got waves around 6 ft from Friday on.

Situation
The trade winds are working perfect, but they don’t reach here anymore for a couple of days, because they get blocked by a system coming down from Florida, which could disturb our winds for a while. But lately next weekend the good winds are coming back. The surf is going down too very radically and starts growing again on Friday bringing some decent waves around 5 ft for the weekend. Nothing big, but easy surfing for all levels of surfing.

Windsurfing and Kite boarding
Like we forecasted Cabarete offered very strong wind for the entire week, but the first days from Tuesday through Thursday with a lot of rain showers and gusty conditions. Tuesday was too much rain and just one hour of wind in between, but already Thursday was good because the rain showers were just in the morning. From Friday on the winds were blowing constantly with 25 to 30 KN the whole day every day performing excellent conditions for windsurfing and Kite boarding compared with a nice swell from N with waves up to 12 ft.
Surfing and Body boarding.
A nice swell came down from north again, but the winds were very strong and blowing day and night so that the surf was quiet blown out the entire week. But surfing was still possible at Encuentro with huge waves up to 12 ft or more. The wind situation got a little bit better from Sunday on and the surf got smaller but more organized.

Situation
For the first time since over 2 month it looks like that the winds could take a little break this week. The trade winds get disturbed by several storms and good winds get pressed more down to the south. If we get some wind it could be more from NE or N direction before the trade winds come back around Friday. The swells are dropping down too before they start rising up again on Friday with a new swell from NE.
