Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guidel Plages over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's going on at Guidel Plages.
I gotta be straight with you: this 16-day run is a real bummer. For the first week and a half, we're looking at tiny, choppy, and pretty much unsurfable conditions. The swell is barely a ripple, mostly under 2 feet, and the wind is blowing from the wrong direction, making it a mess. There's a big gap of nothing worthwhile from now until the 18th of July.
So, here's the one and only window you need to circle on your calendar. On the morning of Saturday, July 18th, the stars almost align. The wind is forecast to be dead glass (0 mph), which is huge. We'll see a weak, small swell of 3 feet from the SW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 111, so it's not powerful, but that glassy surface will make it look way better than it is. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 65°, but that's just background. This is the only time the forecast calls the waves "surfable," so if you're jonesing for a session, this is your best bet. The swell is under 5 feet, so it's fine for beginners.
After that little taste, it's back to the small stuff. The following week has a few mornings with clean offshore winds from the NE, but the swell is down to 1 foot or less. Not worth it. Late in the period, on the afternoon of the 24th, the combined energy jumps to 229 with a 3-foot, 10-second west swell, but it's blown out by a fresh cross-onshore wind of 22 mph. The morning of the 25th has a similar story: 3-foot swell with onshore wind.
Bottom line: the 18th of July is your only real chance. It's not going to be epic, but it'll be clean.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Guidel Plages can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
