The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s call it like I see it.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook. The finder hasn’t flagged a single worthwhile surf session across the full 16 days. Not one. That’s a long, quiet stretch with nothing to get excited about. Day after day it’s the same story: poor surf conditions.
From Monday, August 24th, all the way through to Tuesday, September 8th, it’s a total blank. No standout days. Every morning and afternoon gets a big fat zero score. The reports don’t lie.
We’re looking at Guibia, a reef break that rarely breaks consistently, and this run proves it. The combined swell energy is almost always below 100, showing just how weak it is. For instance, Monday morning the 24th shows a combined energy of just 51. The water temp is 84°F with an anomaly of 1°, so it’s pretty average for this time of year. The swell is tiny, ranging from about 3 ft to 5 ft, coming from the ESE or SE with a short period of 5 to 8 seconds. That’s just windswill, not real power.
The wind is the other main problem. It’s either a light cross-onshore or a gentle cross-onshore, often switching to direct onshore in the afternoons. That keeps the surface choppy and messy. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning, August 27th, and Saturday morning, August 29th, when the wind goes cross-offshore from the NE, leaving it “clean” – but the swell is still just 3 ft with low energy (90 and 73). It’s clean but totally gutless, with a short period. Not worth the paddle.
The wave descriptions tell the whole story: “light cross-onshore with small wind ripples” or “gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy.” The swell height never goes over 5 ft, so it’s not too big for anyone, but it’s also not big enough to form a proper wave.
For a break like Guibia, which is rarely consistent, this kind of dead period is pretty normal for the area. It’s a dry spell, but forecasts can always change. Right now, if you’ve got a kite, the afternoons with stronger onshore wind might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep your chin up. Better days will come.
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.
