Dominican Republic Surf Spot Map

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.

The island really is a beautiful place to visit and if you want a relaxing couple of weeks away, not spend too much money and get in some good surf then the Dominican Republic could be for you.

If you are serious about surfing and travel you will need a decent surfing guide book. Take a look at the Stormrider Guide Europe, Stormrider Guide North America and the World Stormrider Guide books. We cannot emphasise just how good these books are.
