Big Wave SUP action expected for Kite Beach Cabarete

Calm before the Storm for Kite Beach Cabarete

Quality small surf continued to roll into Kite Beach Cabarete as a Large Winter Storm approaches. This Low Pressure System looks will at some point displace the Bermuda High Pressure System which brings Kite Beach Cabarete Trade Winds.  There is a chance that there will be strong trade winds today as the southerly winds before the front mix with the the light winds caused by the heating of the Island.  This Low will bring Large Surf to Kite Beach Cabarete, Big Wave Paddle Boarding is expected by sunrise Tuesday. As the Low Passes there will be one morning of cranking westerly winds...Theese winds are expected Wednesday or Thursday...this will be the only opportunity for good kite action other than late Tuesday!

Great conditions for beginner SUP on Kite Beach Cabarete

Wow...quality Wave Riding action in the morning followed by good kiting in the afternoon and evening.

Swell continues to roll onto Kite Beach Cabarete, cloud cover is keeping the wind off until later in the morning, making for clean wave riding conditions and almost Air Condition type Temperatures, in fact the water is much warmer than the air. Sun eventually burns off the clouds and the day´s heat builds and rises.  The trade winds fill in the void left by the rising hot air making for quality Kite Action. The hotter the day gets, the stronger the wind becomes. This is why Late will be Great for kite boarding!

A distant Low Pressure system will help keep this Perfect Waterman Weather in place for the next four days, after that the Next Big Front will barrel off the East Coast and bring us more good surf starting Tuesday Morning and possibly some Storm Kite Action Thursday and Friday.

Oh by the way our latest Book is out, it´s called the Waterman, this book is available in the itunes store. 

Our latest Learn to Kite Book is also available in the itunes store.

Funky Big Surf

Big surf for Kite Beach Cabarete, but it´s all funked up. The Low Pressure System which brought us this quality surf stalled over Bermuda and has almost taken on Hurricane type characteristics.

Unfortunately this set up is pushing onshore winds which are not strong enough to kite but too strong for quality paddle boarding...basically the surf is Funked Up! Hopefully this will change as another large Low Pressure systems charges off the East Coast of the US. This next Low should clear the North Atlantic while bringing ridable surf and wind.

Holy Swell Producer

Holy Swell Producer

Wow...Low Pressure Systems are rolling off the East Coast of the US. These fronts are bringing a LOTO swell to the North Shore of the Dominican Republic. The latest front will stall to the East North East of the Dominican Republic and push surf onto Kite Beach Cabarete for days. There really isn´t a better swell direction for Kite Beach Cabarete than East North East. Nothing blocks this swell, it just rolls up unto our reefs making for some awesome Big Wave Conditions. Looks like the stalled Low Pressure System will keep the winds lite on Kite Beach through next week.  

Wow... Swell Hits Kite Beach Cabarete

Oh ya...the swell hit and it is cranking...the wind stayed side off shore which made for some quality conditions. Only 4 guys ventured out on Paddle Boards at Kite Beach Cabarete. The Channel was open but surf was pounding. Once out side there were Hawaii 5-0 peaks with plenty of room to ride left and right. The side off shore wind worked perfectly with this swell direction. All in all it was a near perfect Big Wave Day on Kite Beach Cabarete.

Looks like the Swell will build through out the day and peak manana at Sunrise

Manana is going to be more about finding an Open Channel and a working Wave. Should be world class surf manana. let´s Paddle Board Kite Beach Cabarete.

SUP Storm heading to Kite Beach Cabarete

Should be good kiting action before the next Low Pressure system arrives. It looks like the moisture from this pressure system will arrive late night Thursday, there will be a southerly wind before the low which will mix with the Trade Winds to create quality Kite Boarding Action! This action will stop as the Low displaces the Bermuda High Pressure System.

Rain will hit first followed by massive swell. By the time this Low gets to the North Shore of the Dominican Republic it will loose steam meaning that we don´t expect a strong clearing wind. This Low should produce swell for an extended period making for quality SUP action after the rain clears.
