The Dominican Republic is bang in the middle of the Caribbean and its location ensures a great climate, warm waves and a good consistent all year round swell. Like Barbados, winter is a great time for surf on the north which picks up plenty of swell and gets good clean constant waves - essential for a great surfing vacation. The North Atlantic swells send waves down all year long
The main surf on the north coast is situated around Puerto Plata where there are a number of easily accessible surf spots. Many are relatively uncrowded ensuring tonnes of waves. There are also surfspots on the south coast of the island but these are less consistent.
