Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guidel Plages over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days along this stretch of coast. Let’s be honest, it’s a flat spell with a side order of frustration. The first week is a write-off. We’re talking days and days of barely a bump, all blown out or dribbly. The only real glimmer comes way down the track, and even that is a roll of the dice. So, strap in, it’s a patience game.
The first decent chance we see isn’t until Tuesday morning, July 14th. Guidel Plages is a beach and reef setup, and it’s a very consistent spot, but you need the right swell. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, which is a solid win. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds. It’s weak, with the combined energy only at 51. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your window, but keep your expectations real low. Crowds are possible here.
Then we hit another dry spell. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell tanks. The morning of Monday, July 20th, shows a bit of a pulse. We get a 4 ft swell from the W, which is a short period of 6 seconds. The energy reading jumps to 231, which is a moderate kick. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, keeping the lineup clean. It’s rated as marginal, and for a good reason. That short period means the waves will be a bit fat and weak, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option for a beginner who just wants to bob around.
The only real highlight for the whole period is the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd. We get a clean 4 ft swell from the W with a 6-second period. The wind is light, almost calm, from the NNW, so it’s cross-off and clean. The combined energy is 170, so there’s actually some push. The water’s gone a bit weird, but we don’t have a temp for that day. It’s still only surfable, not good, but it’s the best on offer. The swell is small enough for beginners, and the clean conditions make it the pick of a very poor bunch. Crowds are likely, as everyone will be out.
The rest of the forecast is a ghost town. The swell drops, the winds are messy, and it’s all just a big fat zero. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
