The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Guibia over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board. The waves are small, the periods are short, and the wind is often just messy enough to ruin any potential. We're talking about a 16-day window where almost every session is a frustrating one.
Kicking off on Tuesday the 15th, it’s a write-off. Tiny 2ft swell out of the SE with a weak 6-second period, a pitiful combined energy of only (43), and a light cross-shore that’s doing nothing good. It’s the same story for Wednesday the 16th morning, though we do get a brief moment of glassy conditions on Wednesday afternoon with a slightly better 4ft from the SE. The combined energy picks up to a moderate (112), but the forecast still says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don't expect much. That’s as close to a highlight as it gets, and it’s not saying much.
From Thursday the 17th right through to Tuesday the 30th of September, it’s just day after day of small, weak, short-period slop or onshore chop. Most days see the swell hanging around the 2ft to 4ft mark with periods of just 5 to 7 seconds, and consistency is non-existent. Winds are generally onshore or cross-onshore from the SE, creating bumpy, choppy faces. On the 22nd and 23rd we see the combined energy nudge into triple digits (132 and 152), but it's still wind-affected and the wave quality is poor.
There is one minor glimmer right at the very end on Wednesday the 30th of September. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ESE, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate (303). It’s still a short period at 7 seconds and the wind is light cross-onshore, but the forecast shifts from "poor" to "marginal." For Guibia, this is the only period that might even be worth a paddle out, but expectations need to be low.
Bottom line: This is a tough run. Unless you’re desperate for a splash, it’s better to wait for a change in the pattern.
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.
