The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Guidel Plages over the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off a long, quiet stretch. The first week is pretty much a write-off, with waves barely pushing 1ft and a whole lot of onshore or cross-shore wind. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real glimmer comes on Thursday morning, the 13th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the WSW, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The combined swell energy is just 93 (weak), so not much punch, but it’s clean. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.
Friday morning the 14th offers similar clean conditions, with 2ft from the WSW and a cross-offshore breeze. Again, weak energy (86). It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s surfable.
Saturday morning the 15th is worth a mention – a gentle offshore from the NE, 2ft of W swell, and clean conditions. Still weak energy (44), but you could get a few little ones.
The real standout comes way later. Wednesday the 19th of August, in the afternoon, things finally get interesting. We’re looking at 4ft of W swell, with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE. Combined energy jumps to 235 (moderate), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. The swell is a bit short period (8 seconds), so it’s not a groundswell, but it’s clean and the size is solid for a beach and reef setup. For beginners, 4ft is manageable, but it’s getting up there.
Thursday morning the 20th brings a bigger 5ft from the WNW with a fresh cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is high at 396 (moderate) and the score is flat. Not worth the hype.
The very last session on Friday the 21st of August, in the afternoon, is glassy. A 4ft swell from the W, with the wind dropping to nothing. Combined energy is 198 (moderate). It’s clean, glassy, and the crowd might be there, but it’s a lovely way to end the run.
Overall, if you want any decent waves, you’re waiting until the 19th. The first week is a dud. The 19th afternoon is your best bet, followed by the glassy Friday 21st session. Keep an eye on the long-range – it’s promising but not certain.
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.
