The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Guidel Plages.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of almost nothing happening. From now until the end of July, the surf is tiny and the wind is a mess. You’re looking at a solid 10 days of flat, choppy, or blown-out conditions. It’s the kind of period where you don’t even bother waxing up. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 67°F.
There’s a bit of a pulse showing up for the first weekend of August. Saturday the 1st sees a bit of a bump – we get some 4ft swell from the WSW early, but it’s onshore wind and the energy is only moderate (280). By the afternoon, it’s a choppy 5ft mess with a cross-onshore. Not the one.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Wednesday the 5th of August. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the west rolling in, with a strong energy reading (906). That’s a potent pulse. But the wind is onshore from the southwest at 19 mph, and that’s just going to turn it into a washing machine. It’s a big, powerful, blown-out mess – likely one for the kite surfers, not the paddle crew.
Now, hold onto your boards, because Sunday the 9th of August is the standout. The morning is looking *crisp*. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the southwest (636 energy), and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. That’s clean. That’s glassy. That’s proper. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter period swell, but with that size and direction, it’ll be pitching on the banks. For experienced surfers, this is the one to circle. The afternoon looks like it’ll get blown out by a strong onshore wind, but that morning window is pure gold. Crowds are a possibility here, but with that quality, you’ll want to be first in the water.
So to sum it up: a long, flat, frustrating wait, then one killer morning on the 9th of August. That’s the one to chase.
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.
