The Lowdown
Alright, surf’s up... or maybe not just yet. Let's be real, the next couple of weeks are gonna test your patience if you're chasing waves at Guibia (Santo Domingo). It's a reef break that faces the southeast, so we're at the mercy of that direction. The water’s sitting at a warm 85°F, which is about 2°F above the norm for this time of year. Nothing crazy, just your typical warm Caribbean bath.
For the first few days, it's pretty grim. The swell is tiny and weak, barely pushing 3ft with a short, tired 7-second period. The energy is weak, reading at just 82. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the whole setup just looks messy. It's the kind of surf that has you checking your phone more than the ocean. We're looking at a solid gap of poor conditions from Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the first week. You'd be kidding yourself to paddle out.
Now, as we roll into the second week around the 11th and 12th, there's a pulse of energy that shows up. The swell bumps up to 5ft, and the energy reading jumps to a moderate 346. The period is still a weak 7 seconds, though, and the wind is cross-onshore, so it's going to be lumpy and a bit all over the place. It’s still not great, but it’s a sign that things are stirring. The 14th of August brings a bit more size, with the swell hitting 6ft in the afternoon, and the energy reading gets strong at 694. But the wind swings onshore and the period is still only 8 seconds. That’s just going to be a wall of whitewater, not really a wave you can surf with any flow.
The standout, if you can wait it out, looks like the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. We’ve got a 6ft swell coming from the ESE with a 9-second period, and the energy is strong at 416. The wind is light and cross-shore, which will keep it cleaner than anything else we’ve seen. It’s still not perfect, and the period is a bit short, but it’s the best the forecast has to offer. Later that day, a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on breeze will mess it up a bit.
Honestly, this isn't a week for heroes. Guibia is exposed, and those onshore winds are going to chop things up. If you must get wet, the morning of the 16th is the only real window. If it gets big and messy, and the wind is howling, you might be better off checking if the kites are out. There just isn't enough consistent, clean swell for a proper surf.

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.
