The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's in store for us.
Right, it's a bit of a slow start in the water at Guidel Plages. We've got a bit of a lumpy, inconsistent run ahead. The best of it is really going to be this Wednesday morning, with a clean 4ft swell from the WSW and that light NW cross-shore breeze. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a solid moderate (464), so there's some grunt there, but the wave comment says it's marginal. It's not a total write-off, but the quality is questionable. The afternoon gets a bit bigger to 5ft, but the wind picks up, and it gets choppier.
After that, Thursday and Friday are looking pretty poor with small, weak, and onshore mess. Saturday and Sunday have a bit more size, but the wind is all wrong, staying cross-onshore and making a chop of it. Sunday afternoon actually has the biggest swell of the run at 5ft from the WNW with a very long period of 11 seconds and energy hitting 808, but that strong onshore wind will ruin it for a paddle surf – that setup would be much more interesting for a kite surfer.
The following week is a bit of a write-off, with tiny surf and mostly onshore winds until the 21st. On Monday the 21st of September, we get a little 2ft pulse from the west with a long period and clean offshore wind from the ENE. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", so it's a small, clean option if you're desperate for a wave. The 23rd of September morning looks glassy with a tiny 1ft swell, but it's basically a flat day.
Honestly, the only standout window is this Wednesday morning. It's not epic, but it's the cleanest wave with the most push we'll see.
Rusty.

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.
