The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s lined up for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up with you, it’s a pretty grim start. The first whole week – from now through to the 28th of July – is basically a write-off. We’ve got tiny ankle-snappers and messy wind ruining things day after day. Nothing worth paddling out for. The wait is a long one.
Things finally start to look a little less sad around Tuesday morning the 28th. That’s when we see a little bump of 2ft from the west, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. It’s clean, with the combined swell energy sitting at a low 74. You’ll get a wave, but it’s very ordinary. Same again Wednesday morning the 29th – 2ft, west swell, glassy with a light easterly. Still nothing to write home about.
The standout? Honestly, there isn’t a true standout in this entire 16-day run. The closest we get is Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at Guidel Plages, where conditions finally clean up. That east-northeast wind is offshore for this spot, and that is a major positive. But the swell is tiny – just 2ft to 2ft from the west – and the energy is weak. It’s a beginner’s playground on those mornings, ideal if you’re learning or just want to get wet without a fight.
Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of it. After that, it’s back to onshore slop by the afternoon and more choppy junk through the end of the month and into August. The combined energy only really pushes past 100 on the 27th (156 and 181), but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s messy, not clean. For the size and conditions, this spot isn’t going to offer anything special for a proper surfer. If you’re a kiter, those stronger westerly days in late July might be more your thing.
Hang in there. It’s a dry spell, but it won’t last forever.
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.
