The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a fairly quiet run for the most part, but there’s a little window of hope if you’re patient.

The first recommendation I’ve got is a bit of a long shot, and it’s not until Monday, the 27th of July. Up until then, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a solid gap of about ten days with nothing worth getting out of bed for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1 ft and the wind is all over the shop, either onshore or too strong. There’s a few mornings with glassy or offshore conditions, like on the 23rd of July morning, but the swell is just 1 ft of weak, short-period stuff – it’s basically a lake.

Now, Monday morning the 27th of July, that’s the first time we see something that’s surfable, though it’s still very ordinary. Up at Guidel Plages, there’s a 3 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a step up from the dribble we’ve had. The water temperature is 69°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a nice bonus. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the waves will be clean. But honestly, the quality is still poor, just barely surfable. It’s not a stand-out.

The real highlight, if you can call it that, is a bit later. Look at the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. The swell is only 2 ft from the west, with a 9-second period, but the wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the ESE. That’s the best you’re going to get – clean, small waves for a longboard or a foamie. The break is a beach and reef setup, very consistent, and it’s exposed to the swell. The optimum swell direction is SW, so that westerly is a bit off, but it’s all we’ve got.

After that, the 30th and 31st of July mornings offer similar small, clean conditions – 2 ft to 2 ft – but honestly, there’s no real punch. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so expect a few locals out for the clean mornings.

Overall, there’s no solid swell on the horizon. The best bet is the clean, small mornings on the 27th, 28th, 30th, and 31st of July. Don’t expect anything over waist-high. It’s a waiting game.

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.
