Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Guidel Plages are looking pretty dead. This is a break that’s usually very consistent, but right now we’ve got a long dry spell on our hands. There are no good surf options in the whole window. The handful of moments that are barely surfable still feel flat and ordinary. Even with the break being a beach-and-reef setup that can take swell, the wave energy is just too weak and the wind is all over the place. A blank run like this does happen here, but it’s not the norm – forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on it.

We kick off Tuesday July 7th with a glassy 1ft WSW swell – period 9s, combined energy only 25 – but that’s just not enough to get excited about. Wednesday the 8th is even smaller. Then on Thursday July 9th morning, we get a brief lift: 2ft W swell at 9s (energy 64), with a moderate offshore from the NE at 12 mph. That’s the first and only time in the week the wind actually cleans it up. The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary” – and that’s about as good as it gets. Friday July 10th morning is almost a carbon copy: 2ft W, 9s, moderate offshore NE 12 mph, energy 62. Still very ordinary. After that, the rest of the week goes totally flat or windy. Saturday and Sunday (July 11-12) see tiny 0.7–1ft swells with strong NE winds that keep the surface clean but there’s barely a ripple. The whole second week – from July 13th to July 22nd – is dominated by smaller swells (0.3ft to 2ft), often with poor onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a bump on Thursday July 16th with 4ft WSW swell but the period is a weak 6s and combined energy hits 124, still “poor surf conditions” thanks to fresh cross-onshore wind that makes it lumpy. Nothing after that changes the story.

So, no true standouts here. If you’re desperate, the two Thursday-Friday mornings in early July are the closest to a paddle, but they’re nothing to write home about. Best to wait for a better run. This is Rusty signing off.

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.

Guidel Plages is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Ploemeur. If you plan a holiday in Morbihan - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ploemeur. Ploemeur has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
