when you find the silver bank on nautical charts of the area between the north coast of the dominican republic and the eastern edge of the turks and caicos islands, notice no islands are in this area. what you have is a shallow bank area (average 80 ft. depth)with a large barrier reef running down the eastern side. the barrier reef orientation is north west to south east as it stretches almost 60 miles north to south and in the shallowist areas, dries at low water. the best spot for waves is around the old shipwreck. this area also provides the best anchorage area for your boat. only attempt the trip onto the bank directly west of the old wreck (traveling east) with the sun high above or at your back in the early afternoon to provide good visibility of the coral heads.
If you need board rentals, San Rafael Surf School operated by Raylin Romero can offer boards and lessons. He is licensed by the Dominican Surfing Federation.

Sand gets very hot during mid-day hours.
Access by 4x4 is now (08/01/2008) impossible due to recent hurricane damaging road to the beach. This now requires a 20-30 min. walk through an easy dirt road on foot to the beach. Exits 50 meters from surf spot.

North Coast, west of Puerto Plata. It is a secret spot, hard to find. Buy a map, look at the charts and you will find many spots like this.
Access is through the town of Nizao, about 55 minutes West of Santo Domingo city. Car must be left behind at little town, best at a trusted local place, long walk through plantations to the beach. Pebbles get hot by noon, make sure to wear shoes or even sandals. If coming with non surfers, bring a beach umbrella, sun is powerful, no shade available close to beach.
There is little information out there about this spot as it seems to be rarely surfed. But with the enormous all-inclusive hotels nearby there seems to be a lot of interest in surf near Punta Cana. So here it goes.Macao is only 15 km West of Bavaro where most of the resorts are. Punta Cana is a bit further than that. While most resort staff will discourage you from leaving the resort property travel is not dangerous.We hired a taxi to take us to the beach one day to explore and we paid him to wait for our return as it would be difficult to get a return taxi there. You can rent a car in Bavaro for the day which is also pricey. Parking is in view of the breaks so you can keep an eye out. Keep your car on the main road as it is easy to get stuck in the soft sand. There is also bar at the end of the beach where you can park.There was small winblown surf the day I was there so this is subject to interpretation.As you approach the beach you will see Punta Macao to your right. Looks fine, although it is at the bottom of a cliff and getting caught on the inside looks like it might be a bit dangerous. There is a reef break straight out about 1/2 mile that looked good although I did not make the paddle myself. Then there is Playa El Macao which is miles of deserted sand bar breaks. There is no barrier reef in this area so the bottom falls off fairly sharply as compared to the resort areas. I imagine on a good North swell this could be great. But like I said it was howling onshore the whole time I was there and choppy, but surfable. So keep your eyes on the maps and you may get lucky. Not a destination in itself but if you happen to be there check it out.
When they have a good size, like 2m its like decending a litle mountain you always have this impression on this beach ,the sets are usually prety big and with lot of wave.The ground when you enter in the water go deep, and were you are surfing it s very deep but, its ok,no problem.Good tubes,in the morning it s perfect.
