The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a honest look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special here. The forecast opens with a big gap of poor conditions that runs all the way from now through to the morning of Wednesday, 2nd September. For over a week, the surf quality is consistently ranked as poor, with small, weak swell and messy winds. It’s going to be a quiet spell.
The only real chance for a wave comes on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. At Guibia, we see a small bump in energy, with the combined swell energy hitting 207 (moderate). The swell is coming from the ESE at 5ft, with a short period of just 7 seconds. This is a weak, short-period windswell, but the wind is forecast to be a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, which should keep the surface fairly clean. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is just about average for this time of year.
Don't get your hopes up too high. While this is the best we’ve got, it’s still not great. The waves will be small and weak, best suited for a longboard or a funboard. It’s an inconsistent, exposed reef break that can get crowded, and with this being the only option, you can bet there will be others out. For the more experienced crew, this is a pass. For anyone just wanting to get wet, you might find a few small, crumbly ones if you’re patient.
After that, it looks like we slide back into the same pattern of small, onshore wind-slop, so make the most of that Wednesday morning window if you can.
Stay safe, keep an eye on the horizon, and don’t force it if it’s not there.
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.
