Hey Chris,
That is some big stuff running. Are they forming on the outside of the wave zone, say about 1200 ft. off Kitebeach? Would you have a higher res. version of DSC00935.JPG you could email to me (flkitesurfer at hotmail.com) ? I would love to put that one up in a larger form. Haven't seen waves that big off Cabarete before.

Are they forming on the outside of the white wave zone shown above? I recall that waves seemed to form and break over about a 300 to 400 section of bottom, with the larger ones on the outside.
Have fun down there. Can't believe they called the army out. They used to seize your gear if you were too far east in the windsurfing zone of Cabarete Bay.
