The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's coming up for Guidel Plages. To be honest, it's a bit of a slow burner this time around. The first few days are looking pretty average, with a lot of small, weak swell and onshore winds messing things up. You'll have to be patient.
The first real sniff of anything decent comes on Wednesday morning the 16th. We've got a clean 4ft swell coming from the west with a 9-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, so the waves should be tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 225, so it's not a powerhouse, but it's a definite step up from what we've seen. It's still a bit marginal though, so don't expect perfection.
Now, if you can wait, the standout window is looking like the morning of Sunday the 20th. That's the one to circle. The swell jumps to 6ft from the west with a long 15-second period, and the energy is strong at 1350. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the east, making for some clean conditions. This is going to be excellent for experienced surfers. It's a bit on the bigger side, so not for beginners. That long period means the sets will have real punch and be well-spaced.
The following week gets a bit messy again, but there's another little gem. On Tuesday morning the 22nd, a clean 3ft west swell with a 14-second period and a light cross-offshore wind from the north should give you some good, clean waves. The energy is moderate at 479.
Looking further out, Friday the 25th morning is worth a mention. We see a 4ft west swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NE. The energy is strong at 668 and it's looking very good.
So, overall, it's a waiting game. The best call by a long way is that Sunday the 20th morning session for the experienced crew. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
