Sunrise SUP and late could be great for kiting on Kite Beach Cabarete

2016-01-06T06:47:00.000-08:00

Extremely Late Season Tropical Depressions have brought most of the Caribbean 24 hour wind for weeks...looks like this trend will fade as a ho loto surf is heading towards Kite Beach Cabarete starting manana. Waves should build slowly the rest of this week peaking this weekend through next week.

How to rig and Launch on a crowed Kite Beach.

2016-01-05T11:06:00.002-08:00

KITEs Method
Hey, most kite beaches are public and you can rig and launch which ever way you choose. A cross wind set up and launch can be done in 25 meters.
1. Lay the lines out cross Wind
2. Lay the kite on top of the lines
3. Connect the Control lines to the outside trailing edge of the kite
4. Keep the center lines under the kite connect them
5. Double check no lines are over the Control Lines and Launch
Again, most beaches are big and public so riders lay their lines down wind of the kite, they connect then walk cross wind...this method takes up about hundreds of meters. If you looking for the most efficient way to rig and launch, use the Cross Wind Set Up and Launch.

Kite Beach Wind and Surf

2016-01-02T09:27:00.000-08:00

A big winter Low Pressure System is moving off the coast of Florida toward the North Coast of the Dominican Republic but there is an extremely Late Season Tropical Low spinning off the Coast of Panama. This Late Season Low should bring windy conditions to Kite Beach later in the day. The Tropical Low is expected to fade next week as another Winter Low approaches.
Look for:
71% chance of late afternoon Trade Winds
37% chance of glassy early morning SUP conditions

No SUP for you

2016-01-01T08:26:00.000-08:00

Wow...the Holiday´s have been windy on Kite Beach Cabarete, near 24 hour wind which has been sweet for kiting but strong morning Wind has shut down SUP action. It seems the reason is an Unbelievably,Inconceivable, Extremely Late Season Tropical Low sitting off shore of Panama and Columbia (again). These type Low Pressure Systems bring 24 Hour Wind and Radical Sand Migration to Kite Beach. One Sport Wind Athletes are really happy but wave riders are out of luck, there is very little Double Dipping on Kite Beach these days.

The Classic SUP Kite Double Dip Days have a 57% chance of returning Next Week
Next Week shows some promise for Quality SUP Wave Riding Action because of an approaching LOW, the Inconceivably Late Tropical Low looks like it is fading so hopefully we´ll be back to Big wave Glassy conditions early and strong Trade Winds Late.

Windy christmas for Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-12-26T07:22:00.002-08:00

Windy Christmas...wow, it continues to be windy on Kite Beach Cabarete mainly because of an extremely late season Tropical Low Pressure System spinning off shore of Columbia and Panama. These type Tropical Lows bring 24 wind to Kite Beach Cabarete. They also draw moisture passing to the North back onto the North Shore of the DR. This is why there are so many evening and morning showers. This trend works well for Kiters here on Kite Beach Cabarete, not so nice for SUP and Surf wave riders but really nice for SUP Touring because the cloud cover and scattered rain keep things cool. For Kite and SUP Coaching, Rentals, Lessons and Tours contact me.

Wow...2 1/2 years of wind

2015-12-03T06:13:00.000-08:00

After 2 1/2 years of solid wind we finally got some Surf and with Surf comes rain...but wow the last years were awesome kite action. Endless down winders with no threat of rain, just strong winds and clear skies...the down side was no waves, we had a drought and the wind blew our beach away. Those days are gone, the rain came and with the rain came a loto surf, big beaches and cooler temps. Now we are back in a Surf mode so look for quality winds 5 days a week with good Surf action 3-5 mornings a week. Moderate cloud cover and ample rain should continue.

Big Downwinders...things to carry

2015-04-14T13:50:00.001-07:00

How to do a Big Downwinder... kitesmethod.com
Don´t even think about doing Big Downwinders if you don´t have a Signal Mirror, a Kite Knife, Water and Multiple Line Lengths. Lite travels...if you are out in the deep blue and the wind shuts down you can signal a long way with a tiny mirror. People often think about using a kite knife if they tangle with another kiter...the reality is you will probably use it to cut your lines if one breaks. With a kite knife, a kiter who breaks a line can easily cut, retie and get back on the water. Multiple line Lengths give you range just before take off as well as along the trip. Of course riders should have a good camel pack as well as a water bag with a credit card and a bit of cash just in case.

Windy for Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-03-09T07:32:00.001-07:00

Near 24 hour wind keeps blowing and looks like this trend will continue because of a Tropical Low Spinning off the coast of Central and South America. This Low will effectively increase the trades as well as bring in early morning moisture. look for Late to be great for Kiting.

World class Kite Action for Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-02-26T09:22:00.001-08:00

Wow...wind is back and skies are clear. World Class Kite Action is happening on Kite Beach Cabarete and it looks like this trend will happen for a while. The Winter Low Pressure Systems hammering North America continue to "Lift" away from Kite Beach Cabarete leaving us with clear Skies and strong winds. Furthermore there seems to be Tropical Lows Spinning to the South West of the Island. This will bring Kite Beach Cabarete more wind for more time, almost 24 hour a day wind is expected. No morning SUP sessions in ths pattern. This wind is good for HUGE Downwinders and Big Air ...let´s Ride

Good Kite and Paddle Board Action Continues for Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-02-24T06:32:00.000-08:00

Wow...quality SUP and Kite Action continue for Kite Beach Cabarete even as the Southern US is getting hammered by snow and wind. Even Cuba is getting hit by this Big Winter Low Pressure system. Generally these big Low Pressure Systems would bring surf and kill Trade Winds...this has not been the case, Kite Beach Cabarete has had great Sunrise Surf and Quality Afternoon Kite action. It looks like the same will continue today. As the Low Pressure System approaches there will be Southerly winds which should mix with our Easterly Trade winds towards creating quality Kite near Sunset. Look for Rain and westerly Winds to arrive on kite Beach Cabarete later this week.

Wow...continued greta SUP and Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-02-23T06:14:00.000-08:00

Super SUP Wave Action early today with solid Kite Winds filling in throughout the day today.

What a year it´s been for Wind and Waves on Kite Beach Cabarete. Massive Low Pressure systems which pounded North America with Snow and Wind "lifted" away from Kite Beach Cabarete. This left us with quality surf and pumping wind as opposed to rain. For anyone who thinks this year has been rainy, they have no idea what would have happened if these Low Pressure Systems would have continued on a normal course. Thankfully they didn´t and we have had a number of Double Dip days with great Sunrise wave riding and Quality Afternoon Kite.

Super Kite and SUP action for Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-02-22T05:16:00.001-08:00

As this next Low Pressure System moves across Florida expect Super SUP Wave action at Sunset with lite Off Shore Winds. This system is "lifting" away from Kite Beach Cabarete so the North Coast will escape a big rain. Late should be great for kiting, watch for these Off Shore Winds to slowly shift to Trade Winds closer to Sunset. Sunday looks like another classic Double Dip day for Watermen on Kite Beach Cabarete. for more about Wind, weather and Water check out my Latest Book https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/learn-to-kite/id569331917?mt=11

Classic Clearing Wind Kite Action for Kite Beach Cabarete

2015-02-20T06:55:00.000-08:00

Man, it´s been a good year for the Watermen on Kite Beach Cabarete. Big Storm action has produced large surf and good wind from all directions. This is a treat for Kite Beach Cabarete. Westerly Clearing Winds open up new ride areas and fun down winders...what´s better than surfing a strong wind down to a quality eatery like the EZ Bar.

These Westerly or Clearing winds rolled in heavy late last night and are holding above 20 knots. Notice on the Water Vapor Map that the storm is just passing Kite Beach Cabarete and the "Amber" Swell is hours away. For more on Kite Weather check out our latest Kite Book

Big Surf Off Shore Winds

2015-02-18T05:40:00.001-08:00

Wow...Big Surf and a Big Off Shore wind is gonna make for a World Class Kite Day on Kite Beach Cabarete. Paddle Boarders went out at Sunrise and the action was good, but it was very apparent that today is a very rare Offshore Wind and Big Wave Kite day. Hit it early because a Huge Low Pressure System is Hitting Havana Cuba now and we are next unless our lucky streak continues and this storm lifts.
