Re:the Caribbean - 2010/07/20 22:32All outer island of the caribbean have excellent surf in January. East coasts of Barbados, Hispaniola (DomRep) and Puerto Rico get smashed from winter storms at the north Atlantic. Every island is a bit different so the choice is not that easy. Also Dec-March is tourist season, be prepared for booked out places, crowds and highest prices.

Re:the Caribbean - 2010/08/14 09:21Hi Katya,
There is a nice book out on the market, called The Stormrider guide - Central America and the Caribbean with a lot of information and nice pics.
I am living on the North Coast in the Dominican Republic close to Cabarete, where we get a lof of good N -NE winter swells. There are still many uncrowded spots and the surf gets really good. You always find great people and culture on a trip to the Caribbean which is a nice bonus together with the surf and the weather.
If you have any questions about the dominican republic just let me know. We have some nice surf pics on our website.
Sunny regards from Hooked Cabarete
