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.

In March, Bozo, Dominican Republic, offers surfers decent conditions with an average swell height of 1.5m and a solid period of 9.6s, indicating consistent and relatively powerful waves. The majority of swells come from the northeast quadrant, particularly ENE (14.94% in the 1-1.5m range and 9.45% in the 1.5-2m range), providing well-organized waves with good energy. Smaller contributions from NNE and NE directions also help maintain variety. While surfable waves occur frequently, only 23% of the time does the wind align ideally for surfing, meaning occasional cross-shore or onshore winds may disrupt conditions. Wind speeds are predominantly 10-20kph (peaking from the ESE direction), which can create chop but rarely overpower the swell. Overall, March delivers rideable waves for intermediate to advanced surfers, with the best sessions occurring when ENE swells coincide with lighter winds. Expect a mix of chest-high to overhead waves, though consistency is moderate rather than exceptional.
