The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days at Guibia are a tough watch. The finder shows a long stretch ahead with very little to get excited about. We’re looking at a gap of poor conditions right through the first week, and only a couple of windows that might offer something rideable, but nothing that’ll have you paddling out with a big grin.
Starting off, Wednesday morning the 9th, we’ve got a tiny 4 ft SE swell – short period, only 7 seconds – and a cross-shore wind. The combined energy is weak at 103. It’s poor. The afternoon gets worse as the wind turns cross-onshore and bumps it up. This pattern holds through the weekend. Thursday and Friday see a bit more size, up to 5 ft, but the period stays short and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so the surf is messy and choppy. The energy picks up to moderate levels (441-464), but it’s wasted on the wind. Saturday morning the 12th is the best of a bad bunch in this first week, with a light cross-onshore breeze and 5 ft ESE swell, but still marginal. Not worth rushing for.
Monday morning the 14th is the first real flicker of hope. A cleaner window with a cross-offshore NE wind at 9 mph, and a 4 ft ESE swell. The energy is low (146), but the surf will be rideable and clean. It’s not pumping, but it’s a chance.
Then we hit a flat spot. Tuesday through to Thursday morning see the swell drop under 3 ft and the wind stays messy. The energy dips below 100. Friday the 18th is the standout of the whole forecast. Morning session: a 5 ft SE swell with a 8-second period, light cross-offshore NE wind at 6 mph, and clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (248). This is the best on offer. It’s not massive, but it’ll be smooth and fun. The afternoon stays clean but drops a little.
Saturday morning the 19th holds a similar vibe with a 4 ft SE swell, light NE wind, clean faces. After that, it fades out into the last week. Sunday the 20th morning goes glassy, but the swell is only 3 ft and the energy is weak (79), so it’s flat.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
In short, don’t plan your life around it. The first week is a write-off. Hold out for Friday the 18th morning – that’s your best shot for a clean, small-wave session at Guibia. After that, the window closes again.
Stay frothy,
Rusty

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.
