The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Guidel Plages.

To be honest, we're staring at a pretty bleak run. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, the surf is just not there. The swell is tiny, sometimes barely over 2ft, and the wave energy is weak (between 29 and 83). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up the surface. There are a few cleaner moments, like Friday 31st morning with a light cross-offshore, or the mornings of Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd with gentle offshores, but with nothing to push, you're just staring at flat water.

We get a spike on Saturday morning the 8th of August. The swell hits 8ft from the SW, with the combined energy jumping to 702 (moderate wave energy). That's a serious size increase, but it's over 8ft, so it's strictly for experts only. The wind is a cross-shore, not ideal, and it goes fully onshore in the afternoon. The session gets a marginal rating.

After that, it's back to the doldrums. The next time you see a "surfable" note is Thursday the 13th of August in the afternoon, with a tiny 2ft swell from the W and a clean cross-offshore breeze. It's a 1 out of 10. Friday 14th morning is glassy but the swell is only 1ft. No energy behind it.

The bottom line: there's no classic day on offer. The one bigger swell on Saturday the 8th is messy and too big for most. There's a massive gap of quiet days in between. If you're really jonesing, that Thursday 13th afternoon might give you a few clean, tiny waves. But don't plan a trip around it.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
