Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guidel Plages over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Guidel Plages. That beach-and-reef setup usually has something to offer, but the next 16 days look pretty bleak. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands.
The whole period starts now, Tuesday July 7, and honestly there’s not a single window that gets me excited. Swell is tiny – mostly around 1ft to 2ft – and direction is WSW to W, which is fine for the break, but the energy is just pathetic. The combined swell energy sits in the teens to sixties for most of the time, way too weak to push anything rideable. Even on the few mornings when the wind turns offshore (like Thursday July 9 morning with ENE 12 mph), the wave height is only 2ft and the period is a short 9 seconds – you’d be scratching for a bump. That morning is marked as “surfable but very ordinary” – that’s the best we get. Friday July 10 morning also gets that label with a 2ft swell from the W, period 9 seconds, and a light cross-offshore ESE wind. Again, barely surfable.
The rest? A mess. Most afternoons have cross-onshore wind and choppy, messy conditions. Even the rare offshore bursts on Saturday July 12 morning (ENE 19 mph) only push a 1ft swell – total flatness. By mid-July, a small spike appears on Wednesday July 22 afternoon with a 4ft WSW swell and period 6 seconds, but the wind is cross-onshore 12 mph and the conditions are called “poor”. The energy there climbs to 131 – that’s moderate – but with that wind and short period, it’s not surfable for a paddle. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper wave ride.
Water temp is 63°F with a +0.5°F anomaly – about normal for this time of year. No need for a thick wetsuit.
Bottom line: we’ve got 16 days of basically no surf worth chasing. Guidel Plages is usually consistent, so this is a rough patch. Forecasts can change, but right now I’d say leave the board at home and go do something else. Hang in there.

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.
