Cabarete, Caribbean
Thermal wind in the northern hemisphere winter
About the spot
Cabarete is one of the best-known spots in the Caribbean. The wind is thermal: it starts blowing late in the morning, when the warm air over land rises and pulls in air from the sea, and stays side-shore through the afternoon.
Because the pattern is different from Northeast Brazil, the season is the opposite: December to April, when Brazil's wind is at its weakest. It's our window for anyone who wants to ride in the northern hemisphere winter.
Highlights
- Side-shore thermal wind
- Season from December to April
- Warm water
- Full setup on the beach

Taíba
Fishing village, strong wind and few people
A quieter, less touristy beach than Cumbuco, with strong wind and a sea that mixes flat water near the sand with waves further out. Good for anyone who wants to progress without the crowds of the famous spots.

River, beach and waves on the same day
