The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. It’s been a bit bleak out here, but there’s a glimmer on the horizon. We’re looking at a stretch of small, jumbled-up surf for the most part, so you’ll have to pick your moments carefully.

Starting off, Monday afternoon at Guidel Plages is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a cross-on wind messing things up, and that 5ft swell is just not wrapping in clean. The energy’s moderate at 757, but the wind’s killing it. Not worth the paddle.

Tuesday stays rough. Morning is a near gale with onshore wind and a messy 8ft of short-period slop. That’s a no-go. The afternoon cleans up a bit in the wind, but there’s a big jump in energy to 1641, making for a lumpy 8ft. That’s too big and raw for the average surfer, and the cross-shore chop will make it a battle. Leave it to the experts, and even then, it’s marginal.

Wednesday we see the swell back off, but the quality is still poor. Morning has a light cross-shore with a weak 4ft, and the afternoon is similar, just under 4ft with a bit more chop. Still not worth suiting up.

Thursday the bottom drops out. We’re talking knee-high mush, down to 2ft. The energy is weak, in the 50-60 range. It’s a flat spell, for sure. This carries through Friday, with just a touch more size but no power. A 3ft swell with a 10-second period is still pretty lifeless.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday morning, the 12th of September. It’s small, only 1ft, but it’s clean. The wind is offshore, light out of the ENE, and the water is glassy. There’s a long-period groundswell at 16 seconds, but it’s just a whisper. It’s one of those days where you’re just chasing a little nugget. It’s not going to be easy, but the clean conditions are a huge plus after all this chop.

After that, it’s back to the grind. The rest of that week and into the next is a mix of small, short-period wind swell and onshore breezes. There are moments of lighter winds, but the swell direction is just not right for Guidel Plages, which needs that SW push. The energy readings are up and down but mostly weak to moderate. We see the 16th of September give us a decent 3ft with a 12-second period and a light cross-offshore wind, which will actually turn it on a bit. That morning looks like the most promising window, clean with some push. But the afternoon breeze is back, so keep it to a morning session.

After that, it’s small again. We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel through the 19th and 20th, with a long period but no size. The whole run is a bit of a tease. If you’re desperate, the mornings are cleanest, but the waves are small and weak. For the most part, this is a board-waxing, fin-tuning kind of period, not a paddle-out one. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 66°, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re waiting for a wave that doesn’t come.

So, to sum it up: the only real standout is the clean but tiny Saturday morning on the 12th, and a possible window on the morning of the 16th. Otherwise, we’ve got a long, slow stretch of small and messy surf. Keep an eye on it, but I wouldn’t block out any afternoons.

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.
