The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Guidel Plages.
The first week and a half is mostly a bust. Onshore and sideshore winds are going to trash everything, and the swell is tiny. Water temp’s around 66°F, which is pretty normal for the season.
There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. It’s a 3ft west swell with glassy conditions – dead flat water – so it’ll be clean, but there’s barely any energy (169) and it’s nothing special. Then it’s back to choppy, poor surf.
The standout is Saturday the 5th of September in the morning. That’s the one to get excited about. A 4ft west swell with a long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a solid 404, so there’s some push. The wind is light out of the east-northeast, giving a cross-offshore flow, so it’ll be clean and lined up. Just remember, that long period can make it close out on the beach sections, so look for the reef parts of Guidel. This is the best wave of the forecast.
Sunday the 6th is clean again with a small 2ft west swell, but it’s weak (71 energy), so it’s just a little fun wave.
Then we hit a long gap of poor conditions until Thursday the 10th of September morning. A big 7ft west swell with 1373 energy rolls in, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy – that’s a full-on challenge for advanced surfers only.
The real long-range gem is Tuesday the 15th of September. Morning is glassy with a clean 5ft west swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy is 594, so it packs a punch. This is another premium session, but being two weeks out, keep your fingers crossed.
So, the pick of the bunch: Saturday the 5th morning and Tuesday the 15th morning. Everything else is pretty much a right-off unless you like messy, blown-out conditions.

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.
