Encuentro is one of the best surf spots of the Caribbean, located at the north coast of Dominican Republic between Sosua and the capital of Surfing “Cabarete”. Encuentro offers various breaks for all levels of surfing. We have a left and a right break for experienced surfers, we have Bobo's point for beginners and intermediate Surfers and we have Coco Pipe, destroyer and el Canal for professional and radical surfers. Encuentro is working around 320 days per year, offering in summer easy surfing swells from East (between 3-6 ft) and huge swells from North in winter (between 6-12 ft). This means you can surf all year round in fantastic conditions and warm waters, where you will just need board shorts and a rash guard. Beside Encuentro, the north coast is offering more spots with special conditions like Sosua Bay for big north swells or Playa Grande and Playa Preciosa with nice beach breaks.

Dominican north coast is getting more and more famous among American and European surfers as well as from surfers from other parts of the world. Sometimes at weekends when the local surfers from Santo Domingo are showing up too, it can get quiet crowdie, but the good thing is, that the locals are very friendly and if everybody brings the right respect to each other there is no problem with localism, as we know this is an issue in other famous surf spots around the world.
