Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guidel Plages over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Guidel Plages. The first solid recommendation doesn't come until very late in the window, and even then, conditions are far from perfect. The next few days are full of small, weak swells and messy wind. We’re looking at a long gap of about two weeks where the surf is just not worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. Nothing wild, just a touch on the balmy side.
The only real standout, and I’m calling it a potential one, is Friday the 24th of July. The morning session shows a pulse of swell pushing 3ft from the W with a combined energy of 106 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-onshore, which will keep things a bit bumpy but ridable. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and without much push, but it’s the biggest wave of the whole run. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 4ft but the wind whips up to 19 mph, turning it into a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. So, if you want the best of a bad bunch, Friday morning the 24th is your shot. It’s still not great, but it’s the only thing that pokes its head above the water.
For the rest of it, there’s nothing. The swell is tiny, often under 2ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-off with no real push. For a spot that’s very consistent, this is a real lull. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, I’d say find something else to do.
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.
