The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Look, the "surf" here in Guidel Plages over the next couple of weeks is a tough watch. The pattern is dominated by cross-shore and onshore winds that just won't let the waves form up properly. For days on end, the conditions are a write-off for a decent session. You’re looking at a gap of nearly four days from the start with absolutely no recommendations, and honestly, things don't turn good until a couple of brief windows.
The first real glimpse of something worthwhile is Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. The wind swings light and cross-offshore out of a NNW direction, cleaning up a 3 ft swell from the west. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The combined energy is still on the weak side (165), so it's not packing a punch, but it'll be rideable without getting blown to pieces. That’s your best bet in this whole outlook.
After that, things go quiet again until Monday morning, the 7th of September. We get another window, this time with a glassy start. A clean 4 ft west swell and the wind is dead – light from the north, glassy as hell. The combined energy is still moderate (188), but the potential for a clean, fun wave is there if you’re there early.
The real standout, if you can wait, is a promising but less certain window on the 11th of September. Friday afternoon sees a 5 ft swell from the WSW, but the kicker is a strong cross-offshore wind out of the NNW at 22 mph. That wind will groom the face, and if it holds, it could be the best of the lot, especially for the more experienced. It’s a long way out though, so don't bank the mortgage on it.
Bottom line: If you're desperate for a paddle, get on the Tuesday morning (1st) or the Monday morning (7th) glass-off. The rest is mostly a mess. I’d be keeping an eye on the 11th, though.

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 Guidel Plages 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.
