The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, looking at the next 16 days for our local spot, it's a real tough stretch. We're staring down the barrel of a long, dry spell.
Right now, the water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip in the ocean will feel nice, even if the waves aren't cooperating.
The first real chance of anything close to a surf comes on Friday, August 14th, in the morning. That's a full two weeks away. Before that, it's a total blank. For the next 13 days, you're looking at a constant stream of small, weak, and choppy conditions. The swell is weak, with combined energy rarely cracking 200 (we're seeing values like 134, 163, 173), and the wind is just a mess – mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. It's a parade of "poor surf conditions" day after day.
So, the only glimmer of hope is that Friday morning on the 14th. The break to watch is Guibia (reef). The wind finally swings around to a light cross-offshore from the NE at 9 mph, which is the first time we've seen a clean wind state in the whole forecast. The swell will be a meager 4 ft from the SE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of 164. It's not going to be pretty, but it'll be surfable—the file even calls it "clean". Don't expect any power, but for a desperate paddle, it might be your only window.
The rest of that day and the following days? Right back to the same old story of poor conditions. There's nothing else to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a tough one. The forecast can change, but as it stands, you're better off finding something else to do for the next two weeks.
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.
