Guibia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead for the next 16 days. The only real wave we’ve got to talk about is Guibia itself, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and rarely turns on. There’s a bit of a wait for anything worthwhile, and when it does show, it’s not much to write home about.

The first bit of action comes Tuesday morning, July 21st. Guibia’s seeing a small 4ft easterly swell with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (207), so there’s a little push behind it. The real highlight is the wind – a light NE breeze coming offshore, keeping the surface clean. That’s the best window we get. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon on July 21st right through to the end of the forecast on August 5th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops right off, and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the surf messy and weak. The waves stay under 5ft, mostly under 3ft, with periods around 5-7 seconds, so the energy is low (often under 100). It’s mostly poor conditions, with a few mornings showing a glimmer of clean-ish shape but still too small to get excited about.

There’s one day that’s worth a mention – Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell hits 4ft from the ESE at 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to 275 (moderate). It’s a cross-onshore breeze though, so it’s on the marginal side. Not a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’s the best of a bad bunch.

The long-range stuff in the first week of August is more of the same – small, onshore, and weak. Nothing to chase.

So, the standout here is Tuesday morning, July 21st at Guibia. It’s not a big swell, but with that clean offshore wind and moderate energy, it’s the only time the conditions line up. It’s an inconsistent reef, so don’t expect a crowd-buster, but for a quick session, it’s the pick.

Rusty.
