Right, let’s call it how it is. For Cabarete (Dominican Republic) over the next 16 days, it’s a grim stretch. The wind is hammering out of the east and east-southeast, cross-onshore at 20 to 35 km/h for nearly every session. That’s lumpy, choppy, blown-out surf. Swell is small to moderate – 3 ft to 6 ft from the east – with short periods (5 to 8 seconds). The wave energy is moderate at best, peaking around 366 on Wednesday afternoon July 8th, but it’s all messy. There’s no glass, no offshore, no real chance at a clean wave.
Water temp was 83° on July 5th, about normal for the season.
With that constant onshore wind, this looks way more like a kiteboarding setup than a surfing one. For the paddle crowd, there’s nothing worth chasing over the whole 16-day run. A blank stretch like this is pretty normal for Cabarete when the trades settle in. Forecasts can flip, but right now? Don’t bother waxing up.

Information about the Cabarete Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cabarete provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cabarete can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cabarete surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Cabarete) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cabarete may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
