The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s going on with your local waves.

To be straight with you, the next ten days or so are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions with very little to get excited about. The swell is small and the wind is often a mess. It’s a real test of patience.

Let’s run through it. Starting Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, we’ve got a bit of swell pushing in at about 4ft from the WSW, but the wind is howling onshore from the same direction at 12 mph. The combined energy is weak at 138, and the water temp is 65°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s not worth paddling out for.

The whole first week is a write-off. Wednesday the 5th brings a little more size, up to 5ft from the W, but the wind is still cross-onshore and strong, making a mess of things. By Thursday the 6th, the swell drops right off to 2ft, and the wind is either light cross-shore or fresh and onshore. It’s just not happening.

Friday the 7th gives us a morning of glassy conditions with a tiny 1ft swell and a period of 9 seconds, but there’s no energy in the water (combined energy of 24). It’s pretty but unsurfable. The weekend is even smaller, with swell around 0.7ft to 1ft. The wind is light and occasionally offshore, but there’s just no wave to ride.

The start of the following week stays flat. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th see tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swells with glassy conditions at times, but the combined energy is in the teens. It’s a good time to clean your wetsuit, not to surf.

The first real sign of life comes on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning shows a little bump in swell to 3ft from the WSW, with a 9-second period. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, and the conditions are clean. The combined energy is still weak at 84, but it’s the first time we get a “surfable” rating. It’s not going to be epic, but for a quick session on a longboard, you might just find something.

After that, the next few days are a step back into the wind and chop. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th offer a bit more swell, up to 4ft, but the wind is onshore or strong cross-onshore, turning the waves to junk. The energy picks up on Saturday afternoon to 282, but it’s blown out.

The one standout in this whole 16-day window is Wednesday the 19th of August. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The morning brings a clean 4ft swell from the west, with a 9-second period. The wind is glassy – just a light air from the WNW at 3 mph. The combined energy is a solid 229, which is a moderate amount of push. The water temp is still around 65°, but the conditions are described as “good surf conditions.” This is your best bet. The wave will be clean and having some shape. The swell direction is from the west, and the optimum direction for Guidel Plages is from the SW, so it’s a little off, but with glassy conditions, it’ll still be fun. Be aware the afternoon turns onshore again, so get out there early.

So, to sum it up: there’s a long, dry gap until the 13th of August for a marginal session, but the real golden hour is the morning of Wednesday the 19th. That’s your window.

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.
