The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s be honest about this one. We’ve got a 16-day stretch ahead for Guidel Plages, but it’s a tough slog to start. The first proper surf window doesn't really open up until the morning of Tuesday, September 1st, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a solid four-day gap at the top with poor conditions and messy wind.

The real story is a long wait for a promising pulse of groundswell that arrives around Friday, September 11th. That’s your standout. The water temp is sitting around 66°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.

Alright, break it down. The first sign of life is on Tuesday morning, September 1st. It’s glassy, with a light 3ft swell from the west at 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (169), but it’s clean. The problem is that the swell is tiny and very ordinary. It’s only really a go for a beginner on a foamie, if you’re desperate for a paddle.

After that, we slide back into poor conditions through the rest of the first week. By Thursday, September 3rd, we see a bump in size to 4ft from the west, but the wind is all wrong, onshore or cross-onshore, and the sets are sloppy.

The big change comes on Friday, September 11th. This is the one to circle. A solid 4ft groundswell from the WSW, but with a very long period of 14 seconds pushing through. The combined energy is strong (748). The wind is offshore from the east, so the morning session is clean. That long period means the waves will have good shape and power, but it’s a beach-and-reef setup, so expect it to stand up a bit and maybe be a bit straight. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft, still with that long period, but the wind swings cross-onshore, making it lumpier. The morning is the pick for sure.

Saturday morning, September 12th, still has clean offshore winds from the east, but the swell is backing off to 4ft with a period of 11 seconds. It’s still surfable, but the energy is moderate (383). Could be a decent backup if you missed the Friday.

The rest of the second week fades into tiny, weak swells and onshore winds again. The Sunday morning of September 13th has a tiny 3ft swell with light cross-onshore wind, but it’s marginal.

So, to cap it off: the first week is a write-off. Dig in and wait for that Friday, September 11th dawn patrol. That’s the only window where it all comes together for a proper session. It’s a long-range standout, so keep your fingers crossed for the models to hold. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Guidel Plages, so on that Friday you might have some company, but it’ll be worth it.

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.
