The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Guidel Plages. Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for the next 16 days, so I'm not getting too excited just yet.
The water here is sitting at a notable 69°, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year. That's a nice touch for a paddle, but it's about the only real highlight.
The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 1.0ft, and the energy is wimpy. The combined swell energy is barely pinching double digits (7 to 29). It's a real struggle. There's a window of offshore and clean conditions from the morning of the 19th of July through to the 24th, but with virtually no swell to work with, it's just a flat, clean ocean. On the 18th of July, Saturday morning, we get a moment of glassy conditions, but again, the swell is only 0.7ft – it's a lake.
Moving into the second week, things try to pick up a little, but it's still not worth planning a trip around. On the 25th of July, Saturday morning, we see a little bump with a 1.0ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy gets to 27, which is still weak. The wind is light and cross-off, so it'll be clean, but the surf is just too small to get excited about. The afternoon of the 25th sees a bit more energy (46) but the wind is a fresh cross-off, which will still be clean but the swell is only 1ft. By the 26th, Sunday, the swell is a little bigger (2ft) but the wind swings onshore and choppy, so it's a mess.
At the end of the run, on the 30th of July, Thursday morning, we get a 2ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short, weak 4 seconds. The wind is onshore, so it's not going to be any good. The afternoon sees a bit more size (2ft) but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It's a no-go.
There are no standouts in this 16-day window. The surf is just too small and inconsistent. It's a waiting game. For a spot that's usually very consistent, this is a proper blank run. Sometimes that's just how it goes.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Guidel Plages can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
