Big waves at Encuentro

Since 1 week waves stays head high with a clean 12 sec period.





Mostly we have EAST swell, but today it turned to NORTH/EAST and the left start to break too !!










The weekend was crowdy, but fun Cocopipe, Bobos, and the right all worked.




The reason of the big swell is Hurricane EARL, which is right now hitting Puerto Rico.

EARL will arrive tomorrow before noon and our last check right now on Satelite shows a North turn from EARL we maid get a cleaner swell than the surfer in Puerto Rico.


Look here at the wave and wind forecast


But not only the pro surfer have fun with those waves, also our guests, who start surfing just a week ago are already proud to be part of it!






We are ready to go to surf to Sosua by tomorrow because at Palya encuentro where our surfschool is located the waves will be closeout.

“A family that surfs together stays together.”

Our surf camp is not only popular by the solo travelers or couples, but also by the big families.
Surfing is one the funniest activities, that one family can organize to bring kids and adults closer together. It is doesn't matter if you just started surfing and want to improve your skills or you have surfed before.





Last week we had a family of 9 people.

As our surf camp has different accommodation options starting from the cottages and bungalows for singles to comfortable studios or 1 bedroom apartments for couples and big apartments for families and groups.

The family was happy to have 2 2 bedroom apartment,s which are closed to each other, has a big terraces with tables, chairs and access to the pool. The kids just loved to jump in to it after the morning surf session. The adults were chilling in the shade of the palm trees, reading the book.

Every day at 8.30 we provided them with the transportation to our surf school at Encuentro beach, where they spent every morning learning how to surf.

The Beach house as a good spot for surfing, kitesurfing & windsurfing

The spot at our beach house cabarete east km. 0.8 is perfect for good and clean surf early in the morning and on windy days it is fun to kitesurf and windsurf.



we go in regular for lunch to the beach house walking from the surfcamp 5.min.



we drove with the truck with all our kite gear. Nikolas, Peter, Sancho, Thomas and me Antonio.
arriving @ the beach house put our gear in the grass it was 12.30 pm and already 18kn with gust 21.



Nikolas, Sancho and Silvana went straight down to the beach and started to prepare his gear.



we set down in the restaurant and ordered the special plate of the day ( pasta napoli) was good all dente with a fresh lemon juice....!



after lunch we chilled a little at the beach chairs looking at Nikolas who was already kiting.



The beach house has a endless long sand beach and everybody started to get ready to kite.
@ 2.30 we were all kiting and showing our best, because the Norwegian girls were sitting in the beach house having lunch and looking at us and taking picture.






was a great afternoon !!!

We are in summer and the sun sets around 7.45 i think Nikolas was the last coming out before sunset. We were already in the beach house drinking Santo + Cuba libre and looking at the great 2 big fishes that our waiter Nacho catched earlier.
