The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening in the water. We’re looking at a pretty slow start, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board just yet. The first solid chance to get wet doesn't really show up until Monday the 10th of August, and even then, it’s a bit of a marginal call. The real action starts to build from the second week onwards.
The first few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 6th through to the end of the weekend on the 9th, it’s just poor surf conditions with small, weak, short-period swell. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, messing up any chance of a clean wave. The combined energy is low, so there’s nothing to get excited about. You’ll be better off doing something else.
Monday the 10th, we finally see a bit of a pulse. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the ESE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, but the wind is still a problem – cross-shore in the morning but then turning into a moderate cross-onshore breeze in the afternoon. It’s marginal, but at least there’s something to look at.
The rest of the first week stays pretty similar. The swell hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the wind keeps it from being clean. It’s not until the 16th of August – a Sunday – that things start to line up. That’s the standout window. The swell is solid at 5 ft from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate. But the big difference is the wind: we get a light to gentle cross-offshore breeze, which cleans things up nicely. That morning and afternoon both look good, with clean conditions. It’s the best run of the whole outlook.
The day after, Monday the 17th, still has some clean morning surf at 4 ft, and there’s a brief pulse of bigger swell on the 18th at 6 ft, but the wind swings back cross-on, so it’s not as clean. That 16th is the one to circle on the calendar. Guibia is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient, but when that 5 ft, 9-second ESE swell hits with light cross-offshore wind, it’ll be worth the wait. The crowds can be an issue here – it’s often busy – so get in early.
Water temps are average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
This is Rusty, signing 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.
