The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
We’re in for a bit of a dry spell, to be honest. The first week and a half is looking pretty grim for any decent waves. There’s a long stretch from now until the end of July with only tiny, weak swell and rubbish wind. You’ll be waiting a while.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday morning, the 27th of July. Even then, it’s not a classic. Guidel Plages (beach and reef) will see a small 3ft swell out of the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is a moderate 132. The real kicker here is the wind: glassy in the morning. That’s a major positive, meaning the surface will be clean as a whistle. The water is a pleasant 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s surfable, but the waves are just small and ordinary, so don’t expect anything too exciting.
After that, conditions deteriorate again with onshore winds and small, weak swell through the rest of the week. The morning of Friday, the 31st of July, also looks glassy, but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s barely a ripple.
Now, let’s look a bit further out. The standout of the whole forecast is Saturday morning, the 1st of August. A solid 6ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 12 seconds, is set to roll in. The combined energy is a strong 787, so there’s some real power behind it. The wind is light and onshore, which is a bit of a shame, but it’s not a total write-off. This is the biggest swell on offer, and with a long period like that, it’ll have some proper shape. This is the one day to circle on your calendar, but keep in mind it’s a long way out, so don’t book the day off work just yet.
Overall, it’s a pretty lean run. The only real standout is that Saturday morning, the 1st of August. The rest of the time, you’re looking at onshore chop and knee-high mush. The water is warm, so at least the paddle is nice.
Later in the second week, the wind stays onshore and the swell is all over the place, with nothing that really stands out. It’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
