Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a bit of a slow start, and then it looks like the ocean wakes up proper.

Right now, it’s flat as a pancake. We’re looking at a dry spell from now through to the 18th of July. That’s a good week of nothing to get excited about. The swell that shows up during that time is small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-on shore. Just not worth getting the wetsuit wet for.

The first real flicker of hope comes on the morning of the 19th of July at Guidel Plages (Guidel-Plages). We get a little waist-high bump from the WNW, about 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind goes glassy – straight up calm – which is a huge plus. The surface will be clean as a whistle. The combined swell energy is moderate (205). It’s a beach and reef set-up that’s super consistent and exposed, but you’ll likely have company as crowds are sometimes a thing here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no real surprises there. This is your go-to for a sunset session if you just need a paddle and a couple of turns.

After that, the week goes quiet again until we get to the standout. Hold onto your board.

The real gem is the morning of the 27th of July. That Monday is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a solid 7 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is offshore from the ENE at a light 3 mph, so the lines will be clean and the faces will be smooth. The combined swell energy is a hefty 848 – that’s strong. Now, this size is in the expert zone, over 8 ft could be too much, but at 7 ft it’s a proper punchy wave that’ll push you down the line. The swell direction (WSW) is not the absolute optimum (SW), but it’s close enough and the offshore wind makes up for it.

A quick heads-up: the 27th afternoon gets messy with onshore wind, so make the most of that morning window.

Then on the 28th of July, Tuesday morning, we get a leftover 5 ft swell from the WSW with an offshore breeze. It’s still a solid head-high wave, and combined with clean winds, it’s another excellent session, though the energy is dialing back (452).

So to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Sunday the 19th is a little clean trim. But the big one is Monday the 27th of July. Get it while it’s good, because the afternoon turns ugly.

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.
