The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let's get into it. It’s Rusty here, and we’re looking at the next stretch of days at Guidel Plages. To be straight with you, the start of this run is a bit of a dirge. We’ve got waves, yeah, but most of it’s gonna be a mess. Light, onshore junk. The water temp’s pretty average for this time of year, so nothing wild there—just your typical autumn suit.
The first bit of interest shows up on the 14th. We get a morning of clean conditions with a light easterly breeze that’s holding the lines up. Still, the swell is pretty weak, around `3ft` from the west at 10 seconds. It’s surfable, but you won’t be telling your mates about it.
The 16th looks a bit more promising, size-wise. A new pulse of windswell pushes in at `4ft` to `5ft` from the west. The wind is howling offshore from the north, which will make for some clean, if a bit wild, faces. The energy picks up too (472). But it’s still a bit lumpy and disorganised. It’s an option for the desperate, but not a highlight.
The 18th and 19th are more of the same, with clean mornings and small, weak west swell, around `3ft`. The 19th morning gets a score from me, it’s clean with a bit more power in the water (259), but it’s still small.
Now, hold on to your boardies, because the standout window is the morning of the 20th of September. This is the one. The models are showing a proper groundswell arriving from the WSW, with a solid `6ft` of swell and a very long-period of 16 seconds. We’re talking real energy here; the combined energy is a massive 2080. The wind is light offshore from the ENE, leaving the surface glassy. For a reef and beach setup like this, that’s as good as it gets. This is one for the experienced crew, though. Over `5ft` with that much power behind it, it’s not the day to be learning. It’s going to be hollow, fast, and pushy. This morning is the clear pick of the whole run.
The morning of the 21st has a nice follow-up. A bit smaller at `3ft` but still with a long period of 13 seconds from the west, and again that light offshore ENE wind. Clean and lined up, with a good chance of some proper waves (532). A great option if that bigger day is too much or too crowded.
After that, we fade out. The 22nd and 23rd drop back down to mushy, weak, and small. The 24th and 25th are clean but tiny, with a strong offshore breeze keeping the surface smooth. There are a couple of windows if you're desperate to get wet, but it’s really about that 20th.
Alright, that’s the long and short of it. The long range stuff for the 20th is promising, but it’s a week out, so keep an eye on it. It might just be worth the wait.
Stay salty.

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.
