Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guidel Plages over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We're in for a long, quiet stretch, I'm not gonna lie. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The energy is just not there, and when there is a little bump, the wind is usually messing it up. We're looking at a gap of about 9 days before anything really worth talking about shows up.
The only real standout across the whole 16-day window is the morning of Monday, July 21st. That's the one to circle on the calendar. The swell finally shows some life, pushing up to 5 ft from the west, and the wind is how we want it – clean, light offshore from the ENE. That'll have Guidel Plages looking clean and lined up. The combined energy will be solid (304), so there's some proper push behind it. It's a beach and reef setup, so this long wait could be worth it for a few hours of fun, clean waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Before that day, it's a tough slog. The morning of Saturday, July 19th has a clean look with 2 ft from the west and a light cross-offshore breeze, but it's small and weak (34). The morning of Sunday, July 20th sees the swell start to lift to 4 ft (160 energy), but it's from the west with a southerly cross-on breeze, so it'll be a bit soft and bumpy. Then on Monday, July 21st, that morning window is your best shot.
After that, it's messy again. The morning of Friday, July 24th offers up some surfable but very ordinary waves, with a clean 2 ft from the west. It's there, but it's nothing to get excited about. The rest of the second week is a mix of small swell and onshore wind, so keep your expectations low.
So, in short: hold out for the morning of the 21st at Guidel Plages. It's the only time the stars align for a proper session. The rest of the time, the kites might have more fun than the surfers.
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.
