The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Guidel Plages over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a long, flat run with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first week and a half is basically a write-off – we’re talking about a stretch from now right through to the early part of August where the best you’ll get is knee-high dribble and messy onshore winds. The water is sitting at 68°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus for when you’re just sitting there, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of push.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Sunday, 2nd August. The swell is a tiny 1ft from the west, but the wind is light and offshore from the north-northeast, and the conditions are clean. It’s a little moment of hope, but it’s short-lived. The energy is weak (42), and it’s really just a chance to get wet on a longboard. The afternoon goes straight back to being choppy.
Then, things get interesting. Look to the second week. On Monday, 10th August, the morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 2016, which is strong to very strong. However, the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. This is big, powerful stuff – definitely for experienced surfers only, as it’s well over 8ft.
But the standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Tuesday, 11th August. The swell drops slightly to a still-considerable 7ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, giving us a solid energy reading of 1312. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north-northwest, which is going to clean those lines up beautifully. Conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the forecast. It’s a long way out, so don’t take it to the bank, but if it holds, it’s going to be a fantastic morning. The afternoon will see the swell back down to 5ft and the wind turning onshore again, so make the most of that morning session.
The break itself is a beach and reef setup, very consistent, and it’s exposed to the swell. The optimum direction is from the southwest, and we’re getting that. It can get crowded sometimes, so get in early on that Tuesday morning.
