Encuentro

Cabarete, Dominican Republic

🪸Sharp reef🦔Urchins🌀Strong rips

Encuentro is the Dominican Republic's most consistent surf spot—a reef break west of Cabarete that catches winter North Atlantic swells. The setup offers multiple peaks and sections, catering to different skill levels. Mornings are essential: trade winds pick up by 10am and can make surfing difficult in the afternoon. The DR is also famous for kiteboarding, and Cabarete is a hub for both sports. Caribbean surfing with year-round warmth and consistent winter swells.
