The Lowdown

Right, folks. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's heading for Guidel Plages.

Alright, the next sixteen days are a bit of a mixed bag for Guidel Plages. There's some action early on this week, but it's not going to be clean. The solid stuff is a way off, but when it arrives, it could be bloody good. We’ve got a bit of a wait for the real goodness.

Today, Friday the 11th, is a write-off. The morning has a weak 4ft west swell, but that cross-wind from the WNW is going to make a mess of things. Not worth paddling out. The afternoon picks up a bit more energy, but it's onshore howling and that’s that.

Saturday morning, the 12th, is actually glassy, dead calm with a 3ft west swell. The energy is weak (87), but if you're desperate for some small, clean knee-to-waist high waves, you might get a couple. The afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy, so the morning is your only window.

Sunday the 13th, the morning has a 3ft west swell with a 12-second period, but it’s cross-onshore. You can see the potential in the water energy (266), but the wind spoils it.

We then hit a lull. From Monday the 14th through to the end of the following week, it’s mostly onshore junk or tiny dribble. Monday morning the 14th has a clean cross-offshore breeze on a 3ft west swell, so you might find some weak, clean little waves (energy of 131), but it’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a long wait for anything better.

The real standout comes on Sunday the 20th of September. The morning is going to be absolutely firing. A solid 6ft west swell with a very long 16-second period hits the coast. The energy is huge (1477), and it’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell is a touch over 5ft, so it’s a step up for beginners, but for everyone else, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon is a bit onshore, so the morning is the window. Mark it in the diary.

There’s another very promising window the following weekend. On Saturday the 26th of September, the afternoon session looks absolutely magic. A solid 6ft west swell with a very long 14-second period, and you get a clean, light offshore wind from the NE. The energy is monstrous (1541), and the rating says it all. Again, this is for the experienced crew as it’s nearly 6ft. The morning of the 26th also looks very good with a 5ft swell and offshore wind.

But remember, with these long period west swells, Guidel Plages is a beach and reef setup. A 16-second swell might break a bit straight on the beach sections, but the reef should handle it. The crowds might be around as the forecast looks good, but that's part of the game.

The water temp is currently sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit might be all you need for now.

Alright, that's the picture. A long wait, but a couple of serious sessions on the horizon. Don't sleep on that Sunday the 20th morning.

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.
