The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The next couple of weeks at Guidel Plages is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got some decent swell on the horizon, but the wind is going to be the real story, making a lot of the time pretty frustrating.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are looking like a no-go with strong cross-onshore winds and messy conditions. There's some size in the water—pushing 8ft on Tuesday afternoon—but with a fresh cross-shore wind, it's just a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong (562-1414), but it's wasted with that wind.
The first real chance for a wave comes on Wednesday morning, the 9th. We get a drop in swell down to 4ft from the west, but a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNW cleans it up nicely. The energy is moderate (463), but it's clean, so if you've got a flexible schedule, that’s your window for a few fun ones. The afternoon stays okay, but a slight cross-chop creeps in.
There's a bit of a lull for the rest of the week. Thursday the 10th offers glassy conditions with tiny 2ft surf (65 energy), so that's a longboard or maybe a sup session at best. We get a bit more size on Friday and Saturday, but onshore winds spoil it again. Not much to get excited about until...
Tuesday the 15th of September. That's the standout. The morning is where it’s at. We've got a clean 3ft west swell, a solid 12-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The water temp is about 66°, which is pretty average for the time of year. The energy is moderate (333), but the combo of clean conditions, fun size, and that offshore wind will make for some proper lined-up waves. It won't be huge, but it'll be glassy and fun at this beach and reef setup. Keep in mind it’s a very consistent break, so the paddle battle will be on, and crowds are likely.
Looking further out, the following Monday, the 21st of September, has another potential highlight. The swell drops a bit to 4ft, but we get a decent period (11 seconds) and a good, clean offshore wind from the NNE. This would be promising for clean, user-friendly waves, but it is a week and a half away, so keep those fingers crossed.
The last few days of the forecast get windy again. The 22nd of September has strong offshore winds but the swell is tiny, only 2ft, so it's not worth suiting up for.
So, to sum it up: the next week is a struggle. There are a few brief clean windows, but the real gem of the whole 16-day run is the morning of Tuesday the 15th. Get out there if you can. The window on the 21st is worth a watch too.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
