De Cameron (Juan Dolio)

De Cameron is a beach-break surf area on the Dominican Republic’s south coast that’s described as exposed, with both left and right waves. It’s commonly favored when south swells meet offshore winds from the north/north-northwest, helping clean up the surface and improve wave quality. Conditions are typically aligned with small to moderate surf, with a generally soft, mushy wave feel. Sessions are often short and fun, giving riders opportunities for maneuvers before the waves become shallower near shore. For bigger swell, the spot can transition into a closing-out pattern once swell gets quite large. Safety is a key consideration: dangerous rips are specifically highlighted as a hazard, and additional in-water risks include sea urchins in reef patches and submerged rocks (especially at low tide). There may also be occasional boat traffic, and swimmers can be present near the resort shoreline. The spot is generally described as rarely crowded, and conditions are often reported as best in the morning before the sea breeze strengthens. For timing, December through February are noted as especially favorable wind months, while November is also singled out as a strong surf month.
