Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the waves for Guidel Plages.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t a week for the highlights reel. We’ve got a long, flat, or just plain messy run ahead. For the next several days, the surf is tiny and the wind is almost always working against us. You’re looking at a stretch from Sunday the 5th right through to the middle of the next week where the swell is mostly under 2 ft and the wind is onshore or cross-shore. It’s just not happening. The water temp is sitting around 63°, which is just about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Right now, on Sunday morning, there’s a hint of something with a tiny 2 ft swell from the west and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (76). It’s surfable if you’re desperate for a paddle, but it’s very ordinary. That little window closes fast as the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off. Swell stays tiny, period is short, and the wind is predominantly onshore. We see some moderate wave energy pop up on Thursday the 9th afternoon with a 3 ft swell and energy hitting 173, but it’s accompanied by a 12 mph onshore wind, making it a choppy, poor quality mess. This pattern of small, wind-affected surf is basically the story until the very end of the outlook.
Now, if you’re patient, there’s one morning that *might* offer a glimmer of hope. Look at Tuesday, July 14th, in the morning. We get a clean, gentle offshore wind from the NE at 9 mph, and a tiny 1 ft swell from the WSW. The period stretches out to 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but the energy is still low (44). With those offshore conditions, it’ll be glassy and clean, but you’ll be hunting for ankle-biters. It’s really just a session for the longboard or a quick swim.
The only other moment of relative calm is Monday morning, July 20th, with another glassy morning, but the swell is gone again at 1 ft.
So, to wrap it up: the best of a bad bunch is that Tuesday morning on the 14th. It’s not a standout by any measure, but it’s the only time the stars align for a clean, offshore session. For the rest of the 16 days, don’t expect much. The consistent lack of quality surf here is pretty normal for a flat spell.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts.
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.
