Guiones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a real slow start, but don’t let that fool ya. The first few days are small and clean, perfect for gettin' the cobwebs out, but the real magic is buildin' in the distance. This is a classic build-up pattern, and by the end of the first week into the second, we’re lookin' at some serious pulse.

The first call is Guiones. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at 86°F, so you’re in for a nice, warm dip.

Sunday the 23rd starts us off with a tiny 3ft swell from the south, but with a light offshore breeze, it’s clean and fun for the beginners. The real story is the long-period groundswell showing up Sunday afternoon – 18 seconds from the southwest, with a moderate energy. That’s a sign of things to come. Monday morning, the 24th, is glassy with the same 2ft southwest groundswell, so it’s small but silky. By Tuesday the 25th, the morning is clean with a 2ft southwest swell, light offshore wind, and it’s a nice little session for the longboard.

Now, the magic starts to turn on Friday the 28th. The morning brings a 2ft southwest swell with a 20-second period, and the energy is building. The wind is offshore, and the waves are clean. This is a standout for the first week.

Then, hold onto your board. Saturday the 29th morning is where it gets real. Glassy conditions, a 5ft southwest swell, and the energy is crankin'. This is a standout for the whole period. It’s gettin' solid, so this is for the experienced crew. The afternoon is a bit bigger at 5ft, but the wind jacks up, so the morning is the pick.

Sunday the 30th keeps the good vibes rollin' with a 5ft swell and glassy conditions again in the morning. The energy is still high. The following week, Monday the 31st, is back to a 4ft swell but still glassy in the morning. A solid, fun size.

The real bomb is the following week. Thursday the 3rd of September is a gem, with a 2ft, 20-second period groundswell, glassy conditions. But the kicker is Friday the 4th of September. Morning is 6ft from the southwest, glassy, and the energy is massive. The afternoon is even bigger at 7ft, glassy. This is for experts only. That’s the best swell of the whole run. Saturday the 5th of September is still crankin' at 6ft in the morning with a clean offshore wind. Sunday the 6th of September morning is another glassy day with a 5ft swell.

So, if you’re waitin' for the big one, point your board at Friday the 4th of September. That’s the standout. The crowds at Guiones can be often, so get there early for the best of it.

Rusty.
