The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim run for the Guidel Plages area. We're looking at a long stretch of mostly poor conditions, with only a couple of brief moments where you might just get a soggy session in. The water's a touch warmer than usual at 67°F, but that's about all the good news.
The first hint of anything surfable doesn't come until Saturday, August 1st. The morning is still a write-off, but the afternoon shows a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off, which will keep it clean. The combined energy is weak at 59. It's not much, but it's the only window in the first week. Expect very ordinary waves.
After that, the onshore winds and choppy conditions return. There's a small spike in energy on Tuesday, August 4th, with the swell building to 4ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon from the WSW, but the onshore wind is just too strong. The energy jumps to 237 (moderate) and then 526 (strong), but it's all messy and blown out. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle one.
Things get a little less awful on Thursday, August 6th in the morning. A 3ft swell from the WSW with a light offshore wind from the north keeps it clean. The period is a short 7 seconds, so there won't be much punch, but it's surfable. The energy is weak at 92.
The next glimmer of hope is almost a week later. On Monday, August 10th in the afternoon, a 5ft swell from the west rolls in with a period of 9 seconds and a strong 432 energy reading. But again, the cross-on wind from the WSW will be making it lumpy and choppy. It's a bit of a tease.
The absolute best on offer, if you can call it that, is still that Saturday afternoon, August 1st. It's the only time the stars align even slightly for a clean, small wave. The other standout, with a bit more size, is the Monday afternoon, August 10th, but the wind is going to be a real problem. For a break that's usually very consistent, this is a poor run. It's a blank stretch, and for this area, that's a bit unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don't get your hopes up.
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.
