The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the full rundown for the Dominican coast around Guibia.
Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days and there’s nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a real flat spell coming in. From now through to October 1st, it’s a continuous stretch of poor to non-existent conditions. You're looking at a solid two-week gap with no real surf to speak of.
We start on September 16th with tiny, weak swell – 2ft from the SE, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is just 45, barely a ripple. Winds are a messy cross-off in the morning but turn cross-on, making things choppy. The water is warm, sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year.
It doesn't get any better. Through the rest of September and into October 1st, the swell doesn't crack 4ft, with the combined energy peaking at just 143 on the afternoon of the 18th – that’s still weak energy. The wind is nearly always cross-on or onshore from the ESE or SSE, keeping things bumpy and uninviting. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, but with this wind and tiny swell, it honestly looks more suited for a light-wind kite session than paddle surfing.
There are no standouts on offer. This is a blank run that’s fairly standard for this area when the swell just doesn't show up. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, though; things can change.

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.
