The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about Guibia. This reef break is usually inconsistent and exposed to the southeast, but over the next couple of weeks it's looking pretty bleak. The water's sitting at 84°F which is about average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there. But the surf? Honestly, it's mostly a no-go. There's a bit of energy kicking around, but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is generally low, often under 200 (112, 83, 103 etc.) and only pushes into moderate territory a few times, like Sunday 19th morning with 509 – but even then the conditions are marginal at best. The swell is small, short period (6-8 seconds), and the direction is mostly from the SE or ESE, which is right on the money for optimum, but the wind just ruins it.
Starting this Wednesday afternoon (15th July) – nothing doing. Poor surf, cross-onshore breeze. Thursday and Friday same story: small, choppy, poor. Saturday (18th) morning has a light cross-onshore with small wind ripples, still poor. Sunday 19th morning sees a bump in energy (509 combined) and swell 6ft – but it's still a cross-onshore wind and the waves are marginal, not worth getting excited about. Monday 20th similar: energy up to 600 in the morning, same cross-onshore, same marginal tag. Not clean, not fun.
The best we get is Tuesday 21st morning: the wind swings to NE at 6 mph, which is cross-offshore, and the conditions go clean. Swell 4ft from ESE, period 8 seconds – surfable but very ordinary. That's the one window that might be worth a look, but don't expect much. Wednesday 22nd through the weekend just more of the same: poor, choppy, small. Sunday 26th morning again sees a NE cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph, clean conditions, but only 4ft and short period. Another "ordinary" tag. After that, it's all poor again through to the end of the month.
So honestly, if you're desperate, the morning of Tuesday 21st or Sunday 26th might give you a few clean but small waves. Otherwise, it's a two-week blank for decent surf. Keep an eye on the charts, but right now Guibia is a write-off.

Information about the Guibia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Guibia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Guibia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Guibia surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Guibia) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Guibia may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Guibia is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Santo Domingo. If you plan a holiday in Caribbean Coast - Dominican Republic, look for hotels and other accommodation in Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
