The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Guidel Plages.
The big picture: It’s a rough stretch ahead with a lot of onshore wind, but there’s some light at the end – you just have to be patient.
Tuesday, August 25th starts flat and weak: clear skies but a 9 mph WSW onshore wind, and a tiny 2 ft SW swell with weak energy. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday, August 26th stays small. Morning: cross-shore wind, 2 ft SSW swell at 6 seconds. Afternoon gets a light offshore breeze from the ESE, cleaning up a 2 ft swell, but it’s still small. Surfable but very ordinary.
Thursday, August 27th brings a pulse: 6 ft WSW swell, but it’s onshore and messy.
Friday, August 28th through Sunday, August 30th is mostly blown out. Saturday sees 8 ft SW swells with 22 mph onshore winds – too big and messy.
Monday, September 1st has 7 ft WSW swell, but a 19 mph cross-onshore wind makes it lumpy.
Tuesday, September 2nd is the same: big, messy, and blown.
Wednesday, September 3rd and Thursday, September 4th stay poor.
Now, the standouts.
Saturday, September 5th – morning session. A light offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, and a clean 5 ft WSW swell. This is your cleanest, most fun window. Good conditions, clean faces.
Tuesday, September 8th – morning. This one’s for experts. A solid 8 ft WSW groundswell with a 14-second period and a light cross-shore breeze. Combined energy is strong (2786). At over 8 ft, this is big, powerful, and better suited for experienced surfers.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, no surprises.
Best bet: For most of you, hit the water Saturday, September 5th morning. For the experienced crew looking for power, Tuesday, September 8th morning is the big-wave call.
Be patient, it’s coming.

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.
