The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Guibia.
For the first week, it’s pretty quiet. From Friday the 7th of August through the 13th, the surf is poor. Swell is small, only 3ft to 5ft from the ESE or SE, with short periods of 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just windswell, no power. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy. The combined energy is weak, in the 50 to 165 range, nothing worth paddling out for.
Things pick up on Friday the 14th of August. The swell bumps to 6ft from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps to 624 (moderate). The morning is the better call with a light cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind, so go early.
Saturday the 15th sees a 6ft ESE swell, period 9 seconds, energy at 606. The morning has a light cross-shore wind, but it gets choppy later. The standout morning is Sunday the 16th of August: a 7ft ESE swell, period 9 seconds, and strong energy at 1170. The wind is light cross-shore from the ENE, and the conditions are clean. This is the best session of the whole forecast. These waves are solid, so it’s for intermediate to advanced surfers only. The afternoon on Sunday turns onshore, so skip it.
Monday the 17th of August drops to 4ft, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NE in the morning, and the conditions are clean. A good, smaller wave option with moderate energy at 223.
The real winner, though, is Tuesday the 18th of August. The morning has a solid 6ft ESE swell, period 8 seconds, energy at 682. The wind is cross-offshore from the NE, and the conditions are described as "very good." The afternoon also stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and 5ft waves. This is the best run of the forecast. Expect crowds at Guibia, as they’re often there.
From Wednesday the 19th onward, the swell stays between 5ft and 6ft, but the wind becomes more cross or cross-onshore, so the quality drops off. The energy stays moderate, but the clean conditions are gone.
So, the first week is a no-go. Your best bet is Tuesday the 18th of August, with Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th also offering good morning windows.
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.
