The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next two weeks at Guidel Plages.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. We’ve got a long stretch of messy conditions, with the wind mostly blowing the wrong way and the waves looking pretty ordinary. The water is 65°, which is about what you’d expect for September. The first real chance of a decent wave doesn’t pop up until Tuesday, the 16th of September.
The one day to circle on the calendar is the morning of Wednesday, 16th September. The wind swings offshore from the NE, just a light breeze at 6 mph, and the swell is a solid 5 ft from the WNW. The combined energy is a big 699, so there’s plenty of power in the water. This is the real deal – clean, offshore conditions with a proper swell. It’s a bit on the big side, so it’s one for the experienced surfers, but the quality will be there.
After that, the consistent clean conditions aren’t there. The morning of Thursday, 17th September has a clean offshore breeze from the NNE, but the swell drops to 3 ft, and the energy is down to 120. It’s a surfable, clean little wave, but nothing to shout about. The same goes for the morning of Friday, 18th September – 2 ft from the W with a NE offshore, pretty weak. You’ll get a few clean mornings with offshore winds, but the swell is just too small.
The following week is similar. The morning of Saturday, 20th September is glassy flat, with only 2 ft. Then on Monday, 21st September, the offshore wind is a solid 12 mph from the NE, but the swell is a tiny 2 ft, so it’s just a clean, chop-free little session.
So, the bottom line is this: the first week is a miss. The only real standout is the morning of the 16th of September. After that, you’re looking at small, clean windows but nothing that’s going to get you really excited. The ocean is playing hard to get for most of this run.
Rusty.

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.
