Guiones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Guiones.

Right off the bat, we’ve got some solid building swell from the SW, and the water is sitting at 87°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The week ahead is looking really promising, especially for the early morning sessions.

We kick things off on Tuesday, 1st September. The morning is a bit of a mixed bag with a risk of thunderstorms and a light SE breeze creating a cross-off wind. There’s a 3ft SW swell with a 12-second period and moderate energy (418). It’s clean enough to get a few, but the real action starts on Wednesday, 2nd September. That morning is a stand-out: a glassy, dead calm setup with a 2ft SW swell. The period jumps to 18 seconds, which is very long-period groundswell. That long period means the waves will have real shape and power, and at Guiones, a point break, it will set up beautifully. The energy is already solid (511). This is a true gem for a clean, longboard morning.

Thursday, 3rd September, is another glassy morning with a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds (584 energy). It’s going to be clean and fun. The real highlight of the first week, though, is Friday, 4th September. The morning is glassy with a 5ft SW swell at 17 seconds. The energy is strong (1415). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers—perfectly clean, powerful, and long-period. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of skill, it’s going to be a belter. Saturday, 5th September, is nearly as good with a 6ft swell, but remember, that’s getting into expert territory at over 8ft? No, it’s 6ft, so still excellent for experienced surfers, especially with that glassy morning (1588 energy). The afternoon winds will turn cross-on and a bit choppy, so hit it early.

The second week settles down a bit. Sunday, 7th September, morning is glassy with a 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds (571 energy). Good, clean, and consistent. The standout later in the week is Wednesday, 10th September. That morning is dead calm, glassy, with a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds (640 energy). It’s a return to those long-period, clean conditions. Thursday, 11th September, is also a good call with an offshore wind and a 4ft SW swell. The energy is moderate (966).

There are no massive gaps in the surf; it’s fairly consistent throughout. The true standout is undeniably the Friday morning, 4th September, and the Saturday morning, 5th September. The Friday is the best: glassy, 5ft, long-period, strong energy, and the swell direction is matching the optimum from the WNW. It’s a classic. The Saturday is a close second for the bigger swell, but it’s still glassy.

So, get your board waxed for the early starts. The wind is your friend in the mornings, and the long-period SW swell is going to turn Guiones on.

Rusty.
