Alright, folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for our stretch of coast. We're going to focus on Guidel Plages for this one.
Let me be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking tough. Really tough. There's a massive gap at the start with zero surf on offer. We're talking a blank run from now, right through until the morning of Tuesday, July 14th. That's over a week of flat, poor conditions where you'd be better off cleaning the wax off your board than trying to paddle out.
Then, we finally get a tiny window. Tuesday morning, July 14th, we might see a glimmer of hope. After a long dry spell, there's a small pulse of swell at 0.8 ft from the west. The wind is looking glassy, which is a huge positive after all that onshore slop. The water temperature is normal for this time of year, sitting at 63° with a combined swell energy of just 55, so it's weak, but glassy waves will have a clean face. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – so, don't expect anything like a point break reel. It's a beach and reef set-up, and a short period of 5 seconds means it'll be a bit weak and crumbly. This is your one chance for a mediocre session.
There's a flicker on Tuesday afternoon with a slightly bigger 3 ft swell, but don't even think about it. The wind is howling onshore at 19 mph from the west, turning it into a lumpy, blown-out mess. Only for the hardy, or maybe the kite surfers. The period drops to 4 seconds, so just a wind chop.
Everything after that falls back into poor surf conditions. We've got a few days with clean-looking cross-offshore winds on the 12th and 13th of July, but the swell is pitifully small at 1 ft to 2 ft, and with combined energies in the 20-30 range, there's just no energy to work with. It's pretty much a lake.
So, to sum it up for Guidel Plages: don't hold your breath. The only potential window is the glassy morning of Tuesday, July 14th, for a small, clean, weak wave. Otherwise, it's a long stretch of flatness and onshore slop.
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.
