Bozo - surf spot statistics

Bozo in the Dominican Republic offers surfable waves year-round, but the conditions vary significantly by season. The best months for surfing are typically from November to March, when the swell size averages around 1.5-1.6 meters, with a higher proportion of ground swell (22-26%) mixed with wind swell (74-78%). These months also bring the most consistent wave energy, though wind conditions are often unfavorable (76-78% bad winds). The trade-off here is decent wave power but challenging onshore winds, requiring patience for cleaner sessions. Spring and summer (April to August) see smaller swells (1.0-1.3m), dominated almost entirely by wind swell (74-98%). While wind conditions improve slightly (24-34% good winds), the wave quality drops due to the lack of significant ground swell and weaker overall energy. Surfers can still find rideable waves, but they’re often smaller and less powerful, making this period better for beginners or longboarders. The transitional months of September and October stand out for improved wind conditions (39-42% good winds), though wave height remains modest (1.1m). Ground swell presence increases slightly (23-24%), offering slightly better shape than mid-year, but swell size is still limiting for advanced surfers. Overall, if you prioritize wave power and consistency, winter months (Nov-Mar) are best despite wind challenges. If you prefer lighter crowds and more manageable conditions, late summer/early autumn (Sep-Oct) offers a compromise with cleaner winds, albeit smaller waves. For high-performance surfing, Bozo’s peak months demand persistence, but when conditions align, the payoff can be worth it.

August at Bozo, Dominican Republic, offers consistent but generally small to medium-sized surf, with an average swell height of 1.1m and a decent period of 7.9s. The swell is predominantly ENE to E, contributing to the majority of waves in the 0.5–2.5m range, peaking in the 1–1.5m range (24.5% ENE, 26.15% E). Larger sets occasionally reach 2.5m+, though these are rare. Wind conditions are mixed, with ESE winds (20.59% at 10–20kph) being most frequent, but only 33% of the time is the wind ideal for surfing—typically lighter offshore or sideshore winds from the NE quadrant. Stronger onshore ESE winds can create chop, especially in the 10–30kph range. Surfers should target early sessions when winds are lighter and swells are cleanest. While not epic, August provides rideable waves for intermediate surfers, with occasional good days when swell direction and winds align.
