The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Pretty bleak run ahead for the next couple of weeks, if I’m being straight with you. There’s a long gap of nothing much before we get anything half decent. Swell’s small and the wind just keeps messing things up. Don’t hold your breath for clean, punchy waves for a while.
The water temperature is around 67° at the start, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad thing if you’re just floating around waiting for a wave.
First up, there’s nothing worthwhile until Thursday July 30th, and even that’s a struggle. Swell is tiny at 1ft from the west, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 42. Wind is light and cross-off from the north-northwest, so it’s clean, but you’re gonna be scratching for anything rideable. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
Friday July 31st morning is glassy with no wind at all – that’s a big positive – but the swell is only 1ft from the west, period 8 seconds, energy just 26. Clean but pathetic. Afternoon picks up to 3ft from the west-northwest, period 7 seconds, but cross-on wind from the west-southwest at 15 mph makes it choppy again.
Then a gap until Sunday August 2nd morning, when we get a real spike: 5ft from the west-southwest, period 8 seconds, energy 298 – but it’s cross-on wind at 12 mph, creating moderate chop. Afternoon sees 6ft from the west-southwest, 11 seconds period (decent groundswell), energy jumps to 705 – strong energy – but it’s onshore from the west-southwest at 12 mph. Too messy for clean surfing. Expert only if the size holds, but the wind spoils it.
Monday August 3rd morning is the standout window. Glassy, calm, with a 3ft west swell at 9 seconds, energy 165. Clean conditions. It’s surfable but very ordinary – still, if you need a paddle, that’s your best bet. Afternoon ruins it again.
Finally, Sunday August 9th morning gives us a clean slot: 4ft from the west-southwest, period 8 seconds, energy 191, with cross-off wind from the north-northeast at 9 mph. Clean, but nothing special.
The best session is Monday August 3rd morning – glassy, waist high, clean, but low on energy. If you can wait, that’s the one. Otherwise, you’re in for a long wait.
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.
