The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Guibia. Straight up, it’s looking pretty flat and frustrating for us wave-starved souls. I gotta be honest with you—there isn’t a single decent wave on the card for the next couple of weeks. The swell is just not showing up.
Right off the bat, Friday morning (September 11th) has a little bit of life, with a 4ft ESE swell and about 299 units of energy behind it. It’s something, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s only managing a score of 1 out of 10. That’s not a surf, that’s a bumpy paddle at best. The water is 86°, which is about 2° warmer than usual – pretty toasty for this time of year.
Saturday the 12th morning sees a touch more swell, 5ft ESE, but it’s still short-period (7 seconds) and cross-shore winds are going to make it messy. Again, not worth getting excited about. That 379 combined energy reading is our peak, but it’s just not enough to overcome the poor conditions.
As we move into next week, things just die off. Swell drops to around 3ft and the energy falls into the low hundreds, sometimes even lower. There's a brief moment on Wednesday the 16th when the wind goes glassy, but the waves are down to 3ft and it's still not doing anything. It's just one of those blank weeks where the ocean doesn't want to play ball.
The following week is even worse. By September 20th, we’re looking at 3ft waves with energy in the 40s and 50s. It’s just weak, short-period leftovers with onshore winds. It’s all poor surf conditions, and I can’t in good conscience point you anywhere.
Look, it’s a blank run, plain and simple. It happens here. The forecast is showing we’ll be stuck with this for a good couple of weeks. The only things that seem consistent are the light breezes. On a set-up like this, with that weak, short-period swell and onshore wind, you might find more fun with a kite than a board. But for us surfers, we wait. Forecasts can change, so I’m not completely down, but for now, save the wax.

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.
