The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us.

We're looking at a bit of a mixed bag, but the standout window is right at the start. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so a nice little anomaly to start with.

The real action kicks off Saturday morning, the 5th of September. Guidel Plages is the spot to be. We've got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the west, with a solid 13-second period. That's proper groundswell, and with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, the waves are going to be clean and lined up. The combined energy is moderate (466), so there's plenty of push. It's a very consistent break, too, so you won't be sitting around waiting. Just a heads up, it can get busy here sometimes, so expect some company. The morning is the clear winner here; by the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and things get messy.

Saturday afternoon is a write-off, and Sunday, the 6th, is also a no-go. The swell drops right off, and the wind isn't helping.

Looking further ahead, there's a bit of a dry spell. From Sunday the 6th all the way through to the end of the forecast period, the surf quality is just not there. We get a few pulses of energy, like Monday the 7th has a 6ft swell, but it's all cross-onshore and choppy as hell. The wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction. The breaks are exposed, so they catch all that bad wind. Honestly, for a stretch of about 10 days after that first Saturday, it's looking pretty grim. There's a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 13th with a 3ft swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, but it's just a small, ordinary wave.

So, if you've got a board, your only real call is to get out there on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. After that, you might as well find something else to do. The forecasts can change, so don't give up all hope, but right now, it's looking like a long, flat spell after that one good session.

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.
