The Lowdown
Grab your board, but don't get your hopes up too high. We're looking at a pretty flat and messy stretch ahead here at Guibia. The long-range models are showing some pulse, but honestly, for the next 16 days, the stars just aren't aligning for a proper session. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're staring at the chop.
We kick off Friday the 17th, and it's a write-off. Only 3.6ft of weak, short-period SE windswell, with a combined energy of just 94. The wind is a cross-onshore, so it's bumpy and messy. No go. Saturday the 18th isn't any better – same story, just a little more energy (160) but still blown out by onshore winds. Sunday the 19th offers a tiny glimmer – the swell pushes to 4.6ft and the period stretches to 8 seconds, with energy hitting 248. The morning has light cross-onshore winds, but it's still only "marginal" at best. It's a maybe if you're super desperate, but it's not going to be pretty.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Monday the 20th right through to the end of the month, it's a grim run of small, weak swell (3.6ft to 4.3ft) with periods of 6-7 seconds and energy dropping as low as 47. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping the surface a mess. There's a couple of mornings with a "marginal" tag on the 26th and 30th of July, where the swell bumps up to 4.3ft and energy gets to 248 and 200, with light cross-shore wind. That's your best bet in this whole stretch, but it's still a gamble on a reef break that's already inconsistent. If you're a kiter, this onshore chop might be fun, but for a paddle surfer, it's a long wait for a weak, grovelly wave.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout winner here. The best of a bad bunch is Sunday the 20th of July morning, or maybe the 26th and 30th. Keep an eye on the sky, but honestly, I'd be finding something else to do for the next two weeks.

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.
