The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down, but this one’s a bummer. Looking at the next 16 days for Guibia (Dominican Republic), we’re staring down a long, flat run with hardly any surf to get stoked about. Water temp is about normal for the season, so that’s not the issue—it’s just that the ocean is asleep.
The first chance of anything halfway rideable is Saturday, August 22nd, in the morning. We’ve got a 1.5m swell from the ESE, but it’s short period, only 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 387. The wind is east, cross-shore, which is decent, but the whole thing is marginal. The best of a bad lot comes on the morning of Thursday, August 27th. Again, 1.5m from the ESE, but with a light ENE breeze that’s cross-shore, so the surface should be a little cleaner. The combined energy is similar at 352. Still, Guibia is a reef that really wants the swell from the SE to work properly, and these ESE swells are a bit off-angle. The short period means the waves will be weak and lacking shape.
After that, it’s the same story: wave heights between 1.1m and 1.3m, mostly from the SE or ESE, with onshore or cross-onshore winds in the afternoons. The mornings are the only chance for cleaner conditions, but the energy is low, mostly in the 100s. The morning of August 31st has a tiny bit more energy (207) with light cross-onshore wind, but it’s still a marginal call.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The surf is poor, the wind is mostly messy, and the swell direction never lines up right. If you’re really itching, the 27th morning is your best shot, but don’t expect much. This stretch is looking more like a kiteboarding or paddleboarding window than a surf one. Hang tight, it’ll come back.

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.
