The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch at Guibia. This reef break is inconsistent and doesn't have a lot of love from the swell gods in the next 16 days. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing too wild.
The first half of the period is a real struggle. From Monday the 20th right through to the end of July, there’s barely a window that’s worth paddling out for. The waves are small, mostly around 2 ft to 4 ft, with short, weak periods of 5 to 8 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, messing up the surface. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values mostly under 200 (like 149 and 158 initially). The best you can say is Monday morning the 20th has a 4 ft swell from the ESE with a light cross-off breeze, making it clean, but it’s weak and inconsistent. It’s surfable, but you’d be scratching for anything decent.
The only real standout in this whole outlook is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. That morning brings a clean 5 ft ESE swell, with a nice light cross-off wind from the NE. The wave energy jumps up to a moderate 272, and the conditions are described as “clean.” This is the best on offer by a long shot. The swell direction is off the ESE, which is about as close to optimum as we get here. It’s not huge, but it’s the only session where everything lines up for a proper surf. Crowds are often a thing at Guibia, so expect some company.
After that, the rest of the forecast goes back to poor conditions. A couple of mornings in early August, like Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd, show a little more energy (299 and 281) but the wind is cross or cross-on, and the conditions are either marginal or just “poor.” It’s not worth getting excited about.
Overall, it’s a very dry run. If you’re desperate, you might get a few weak ones on the 20th morning, but the real target is Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s your window.

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.
