Los Patos de Barahona in the Dominican Republic is primarily a windswell-dominated surf spot, with virtually no ground swell influence for most of the year. The swell consistency is high, with wind swells occurring 88-100% of the time across all months. The mean swell size ranges between 0.9m and 1.4m, peaking in June and July with slightly larger waves (1.4m), though still relatively small overall. Wind conditions are generally poor for surfing, with onshore winds prevailing 92-96% of the time in most months, making clean surf sessions rare. The best months for surfers are March to May and September, where slightly better wind conditions (7-8% good winds) coincide with manageable swell sizes (1.0-1.2m). However, even these windows offer very limited favorable wind days. September stands out as the only month with a slight increase in ground swell (3%), though windswell remains dominant. Overall, Los Patos is a low- to mid-performance wave year-round, best suited for beginners or surfers tolerant of onshore conditions, with no truly prime surfing season. Advanced surfers may find the spot underwhelming due to the lack of clean conditions and significant swell energy.
