Cabarete, On the North Coast of the Dominican Republic ( where we are) is widely considered one of the best wingsurfing / wingfoiling destinations in the world. Year-round you can find ideal wind for learning to wingfoil.
Mid September to Mid October is hit or miss, since that is hurricane season. Meaning hurricanes travel well north or well south of the DR, but this can change the wind pattern for a bit.

One of the great advantages of learning wingfoiling is that, unlike kitesurfing, you only need a gentle breeze for your first lessons to learn the basics on the beach and then in the water. To successfully get up & ride on foil you need around 12 knots (4 beaufort). Most months of the year we have at least a minimum of 15 to 20 days with 12 knots or more, so the chances that you can finish your 8 hour wingfoil course in 5 to 7 days are very high.

The new sport of Wing Foiling is a great way to pick up a new & exciting watersport. Here’s some reasons why it’s the fastest growing watersport:

• No previous wind or watersport experience required
• No need for physical strenght
• Equipment can be packed small for travel in a car or plane
• Can be done on oceans, lakes and rivers
• Large wind range, from 8 knots light wind to 30 knots +
• Quick and safe learning curve

One of the reasons why we see a lot of Swell clients choosing a wing foiling holiday with Swell is that it can easily be combined with a learn-to-surf holiday. Surf in the morning, wing foil in the afternoon; a perfect action-packed watersport holiday

If you already know how to wingfoil and are looking for a good wingsurfing destinations to practise your wave riding technique, then you have come to the right place.

Cabarete offers excellent wave wingfoiling conditions; the outside reefs of Cabarete offer mellow waves between 1 meter (3 foot) to 4 meters (12foot). The wind is side onshore so that waves don’t break hard top to bottom, making it an ideal place for long rides. there are lefts and rights.

Bigger waves are between September and May, smaller waves, but more wind between June and August. Cabarete reef barely goes flat.

Tidal difference is not large, so there’s enough clearance for your foil.

Encuentro ( where we surf in the morning) is also a good wave wingfoiling spot. You’ll find a long stretch of coast between Kite beach and Playa Encuentro with fun waves. Be carefull on the inside though because it does get less than 55 cm in depth.
