The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Dominican Republic.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions and weak, choppy little waves that just aren’t worth paddling out for. From Saturday the 22nd right through to the end of August, it’s a whole lot of cross-shore and onshore wind messing things up, with swell heights mostly hanging around 3 ft to 4 ft and short periods around 6 to 8 seconds. The water’s sitting at a warm 85°, about 1° above the norm, so it’s a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Finally, there’s a glimmer of hope. Monday morning, the 31st of August, is the standout. Guibia wakes up with a clean 7 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds, and a nice cross-offshore wind from the NE. The combined energy hits 832 (moderate energy), but the real story is the wind – it’s going to be clean, making for some decent shape. This is the best on offer across the whole 16-day window. Keep in mind, Guibia is a reef break, so watch the shallow spots. It’s inconsistent and often crowded, so expect some company. This one’s for the intermediates and up; 7 ft is a bit much for beginners.
After that, things drop off again. The into Tuesday the 1st of September, we’re back to marginal, cross-shore conditions and smaller 5 ft swell. There’s a tiny uptick on Sunday morning the 6th of September, with a 4 ft swell from the ESE and light cross-shore winds, but with a combined energy of just 267, it’s only marginal.
Bottom line: If you’re itching for a paddle, Monday morning the 31st of August is your shot. The rest of the run is a write-off.
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.
