Hurricanes are a regular occurrence in the Caribbean, and eXtreme Cabarete is no exception.

The hurricane season starts in August, and goes to November, with the bulk of Hurricanes in September and October.

We are fortunate in our position to be a rare direct hit, due to the fact that the leeward islands, Puerto Rico and the East side of the Dominican Republic are all in the way before hurricanes hit us.  We are also protected by the mountains.

The upside to Hurricanes is the waves.  We are expecting 20 ft waves with this hurricane, which makes for some outrageous surfing conditions for those brave enough to bear the conditions.  And for the really insane, the kitesurfing can be epic.
