The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the surf for Guidel Plages. Let's be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that'll get the heart pumping.
First up, the pattern. We're staring at a lot of onshore wind and messy conditions for the next few days, so don't get too excited just yet. The real interest starts to build heading into the second week of September.
Sunday the 31st of August sees a pulse of WSW swell pushing 7ft, but with a cross-onshore wind, it's going to be choppy and a bit of a battle. The combined energy is moderate at 874. Not the day for it.
We get a bit of a tease on Tuesday the 1st of September. Early morning, the wind goes glassy, and we've got clean 3ft swell from the west (9-second period). It's small, and the combined energy is weak (169), so you're on a foamy or a longboard, but for a few hours, it'll be the cleanest surf we've seen. It's surfable but ordinary.
Then the waiting game begins. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions until Saturday the 5th of September. The morning offers some hope with clean 4ft swell from the west, a long 12-second period, and a light offshore wind. Combined energy is moderate at 327. This is a genuine window. For the experienced among you, the standout session looks to be Saturday the 12th of September. We've got a solid 7ft WNW groundswell rolling in with a 10-second period. The wind is light offshore, keeping it clean. The combined energy is strong at 1301. This is an expert-only zone as the size is up, but for those with the skills, it looks excellent.
And if you can wait a little longer, Sunday the 13th of September is the real gem. We're looking at a 8ft WSW swell with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the ENE all morning. The combined energy is strong (1064), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The offshore wind will groom those waves beautifully at this exposed beach and reef setup.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a write-off. Keep your eyes on the 5th for a small, clean session, but the real pow-wow is on the 12th and especially the 13th of September for the bigger, cleaner swell. Stay patient.
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.
