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.

February at Bozo, Dominican Republic offers decent surf conditions, with an average swell height of 1.6m and a solid 9.5s period, providing well-formed, rideable waves. The primary swell direction is ENE, contributing the most to wave energy, with 16.89% of waves in the 1-1.5m range and 12.26% in the 1.5-2m range, making it the dominant and most consistent source for quality surf. NNE and NE swells also contribute, though with slightly smaller waves. The wind is favorable for surfing only 23% of the time, with the best conditions likely when winds are lighter (0-20kph) from the NE to E quadrants. Stronger trade winds (20-30kph) from the ESE and E directions are common, which can create choppy conditions, especially since these winds are onshore for the spot. Surfers should target days when wind speeds are low or when offshore winds (WNW to NNW) coincide with ENE-NE swells for optimal, clean waves. Overall, expect a mix of rideable days with some wind-affected sessions, but there are opportunities for good surf when conditions align.
