The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for Guidel Plages over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim run. There’s a five-day gap with no decent surf at the start, and the whole 16-day window is a struggle. The first real chance of a wave is on Monday the 27th of July. Water temp is about 67°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Wednesday 22nd July – A complete loss. Tiny 1ft swell from the west, 10-second period, with a side-onshore breeze. Combined wave energy is a weak 17 – not worth the walk.
Thursday 23rd to Saturday 25th – Morning sessions might look clean with a light offshore wind, but the swell is pathetic – 0.7ft to 0.7ft – and the period is short. Afternoons are all blown out.
Saturday 25th afternoon gets a little bump to 3ft from the WNW, but a fresh side-onshore wind at 18 mph makes it lumpy. Energy is still weak at 34.
Sunday 26th offers some size – 4ft to 5ft – but the wind is cross or side-onshore and fresh. Energy climbs to moderate levels (123 to 221), but the quality is poor.
Monday 27th morning – This is your window. It’s the only standout. Glassy conditions, a light breeze, and a clean 3ft swell from the west with a 9-second period. Combined energy is a moderate 159. For a beginner-friendly, very consistent beach and reef break, this is it. The offshore wind from the NNE is perfect. The afternoon turns choppy.
Tuesday 28th to Thursday 30th – Back to small stuff. Mornings can be clean with light offshores, but swell drops to 2ft to 3ft with weak energy. Surfable but ordinary.
Friday 31st July onward – The second week sees a spike in size. On the 1st of August, 3ft from the west, but with onshore winds. By the 2nd and 3rd of August, combined energy jumps to a strong 398 and 514 – that’s a lot of water moving – but it’s all onshore and messy from the SW or WSW. Waves will be there but blown out, and at 4ft to 5ft, it’s too big for beginners. That kind of energy with strong onshore wind makes it more interesting for kite surfing.
Monday 3rd August – Morning shows 5ft from the west with a 9-second period and onshore wind from the southwest at 15 mph. Energy is a hefty 514, but quality is poor.
Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th August – The last mornings clean up slightly with a light offshore from the NE, but the swell is only 2ft to 2ft. Not enough.
So, the best and only real chance is Monday 27th July morning at Guidel Plages. Glassy, 3ft, clean. Everything else is a write-off. Don’t count on the second week – the size is there, but the wind is a problem.
Stay patient. It won’t stay this quiet forever around here.
Rusty.

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.
