The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks at Guidel Plages. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. The first solid session that’s worth paddling out for isn’t until July 26, so we’re looking at a long gap of about a week and a half where the surf is just poor. The water is sitting at 68°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – like a warm bath, but that’s about the only upside for a while.
From July 13 right through to July 25, we’ve got small, weak, and messy conditions. Swell heights barely tickle 2 ft, with periods mostly under 10 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, sitting in the low double digits or even single digits (11 to 42). Winds are all over the shop – mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is just gonna make it lumpy and choppy. Not worth getting wet.
The first real flicker of life shows up on July 26. That Sunday morning, we’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 210. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The afternoon drops off a bit to 3 ft, but still a goer.
The standout, though, is July 27 – Monday morning. We’re looking at another 3 ft west swell, with a 9-second period and combined energy of 282 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-onshore, creating just small wind ripples, which is about as clean as it’s gonna get for this setup. The water’s still warm, and the break is a beach-and-reef mix that’s very consistent, so it’s a safe bet. Crowds are a possibility, but for a session like this, it’s worth sharing the lineup.
July 28 Tuesday morning sees a bump up to 5 ft from the WSW, but the period drops to 7 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-affected stuff. The combined energy is 228, but it’s marginal at best, with onshore winds. That’s more for the kites than the paddle.
So, bottom line: mark your calendar for July 27. That Monday morning is the real highlight – clean, waist-high plus, and the most energy we’ll see. The rest of the run is a write-off. Keep your eye on the charts, but for now, that’s the one.

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.
