Cabarete
45% of November days clear 12 kt for three daylight hours or more.
November sits outside the best months here. This report carries the record for November as it is, and no direction or session norm, because there is none to quote. Section 02 shows the year-by-year spread; section 06 shows which months to come instead.
Hour-by-hour & month-by-month wind
Rideable-day share by month, all three sports
Share of days with three or more daylight hours over each sport's threshold, counted from the record at 12 kt, Windsurf 13 kt and Wing 12 kt.
Blue fill scales with the share. Selected month outlined. Threshold per row: Kite 12 kt · Windsurf 13 kt · Wing 12 kt.
Where the wind sits, November
Share of daylight hours in each speed band, blue above the threshold.
Not drawn: 10% of daylight hours under 4 kt.
When in the day, November
Share of days over 12 kt at each daylight hour.
Rideable hours, not all hours. Every wind figure in this report is the mean over hours above the threshold.
November's own records
The month's own figures from nine Novembers in the record, 2017 to 2026. Not the year's average.
What the percentage hides. A month at 80% can be twenty-four steady days or three windy weeks broken by a dead front.

Tide data not yet available for this spot. The record holds wind, air and waves, not tide. Until a tide source is connected, the tables above stay empty rather than estimated. What the guide says about tide is on the next page, in words.
Kite zone, shore break, crowds & the storm season
Every hazard on the spot page, repeated here in full. Read this before you get wet.

Kite Beach has stronger wind and choppier water; Bozo Beach is more accessible; La Boca has flatter lagoon water in a small area. No rock or reef position is recorded in the sources used here: walk each launch before you rig.
ION Club describes the lagoon as divided into a kite zone and a windsurfing and wingfoiling zone. It warns of the shore break at Bozo Beach, often present in winter, and says it is smaller between April and July than between December and April. ProKite says the beach can get busy, especially in the peak season, and that La Boca is generally more crowded as the area is small. Cabarete Kite Point says storms passing through in winter make the wind stronger, though sometimes a bit gustier. ION Club gives late August to November as the hurricane season, with intense rain on some days and sometimes gusty winds, making kitesurfing dangerous except for experts.
Getting there, packing & best months
November has no session mean to size from, so no sizes are given.
Best months, Kite. Record.
Sources, and their limits
Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.
The record
Hourly wind, 2017 to 2026, from ECMWF IFS HRES via Open-Meteo: a 9 km grid, read at the cell 4.7 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over nine to ten years.
What we could not source for Cabarete
The kite and windsurf zones from their instrument: only a school guide describes them. A counted crowd reading: the crowd rows are compiled research. Emergency numbers from an official source. A water quality classification, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Tide tables. A station check on the wind record. Surveyed launch coordinates. Licensed photographs. Where any of these is missing above, the section says so rather than filling itself.
Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
