The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and we're looking at Guidel Plages for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty flat and wind-battered run. No proper groundswell to get the heart pumping, just a few mornings that might be worth a peek.
Starting off, Friday the 11th has some swell but the wind is a messy 25 km/h cross-on from the WSW, so it’s all junk. Saturday the 12th is even smaller.
The first real chance is Monday morning the 16th. Swell is about 4 ft from the W with a 8-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the NNW at 12 mph. The energy is moderate, and the waves will be clean. It’s a short-period wave, so not a gem, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far.
Wednesday the 18th is the one to wake up for. The morning brings a 4 ft swell at 12 seconds from the W, with light cross-shore wind from the NW at 6 mph. The energy is moderate, and the surf will be clean. That morning session is the standout of the forecast. The afternoon wind goes onshore and ruins it.
After that, we get a lull. Thursday the 24th morning is notable because it’s glassy – no wind at all – with a clean 3 ft, 12-second swell. That’s a lovely, quiet window for a clean wave, but it’s small. Saturday the 26th morning is offshore but tiny.
So your two best calls are Wednesday morning the 18th and Thursday morning the 24th. The 18th has the better size and period, the 24th is pure glass but smaller. I'd pin Wednesday the 18th as the top pick.
Water temp is about 66°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
There’s a 4 to 5 day stretch with nothing worth mentioning between the 19th and the 23rd.
That’s the story. A few windows, but no classic swells.
Rusty.

Information about the Guidel Plages Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Guidel Plages provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Guidel Plages can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Guidel Plages 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 (Guidel Plages) 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 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. 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.
