The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, and I’ll tell you the same story in feet and miles. This Guidel Plages forecast is a bummer.
From Wednesday the 15th all the way through Monday the 27th of July, there’s basically nothing. The swell stays under a foot to just over a foot—0.7ft to 1ft—from the WSW or W, and the wave energy is weak, most days sitting between 6 and 45. The water temp on the 15th is 69°F, a full 5°F warmer than normal, so it feels like a heated pool. But no waves to enjoy it.
The first real chance comes on Tuesday the 28th of July. Tuesday morning shows a 1ft swell from the W with a period of 10 seconds. Wind is light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’s clean. Combined energy hits 21 (still weak, but the best we’ve seen). It’s ankle-biters, but for a spot that’s very consistent, you might get a few tiny lines if you’re keen.
Tuesday afternoon the swell jumps to 4ft from the W, but the period plummets to 5 seconds—junk windswell. The wind cranks onshore from the W at 22 mph, making it lumpy and tough. Energy is up to 70. Honestly, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.
Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th keep things small: 1ft to 3ft swell, mostly cross or onshore winds, energy under 45. Thursday morning on the 30th has the cleanest wind—NNE at 13 mph offshore—but with only 1ft from the W and 10 seconds, you’d be looking at glassy, tiny waves.
No standout session. The best bet is Tuesday morning the 28th for a clean but very small wave. Other than that, it’s a flat spell with no real action. Forecasts can shift, but for now, don’t get your hopes up.
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.
