Guiones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for us.

The next couple of weeks are all about one spot: Guiones. It’s a consistent, beginner-friendly setup, and the southwest swell direction matches what this place loves best. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy.

The session kicks off on Saturday the 15th. Early morning, it’s clean with a 5ft SW swell (16-second period) and a light offshore breeze. The wave energy is strong at 1254, but don't be fooled – this is one for the experienced crew. Anything over 5ft at this spot might swallow beginners. By afternoon, the wind goes cross and it gets a bit messy with a risk of storms.

Sunday the 16th is where the real sweet spot sits. Morning sees a drop to around 4.3ft, still a long-period SW groundswell (15 seconds), with a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a cleaner, more manageable wave. Then Sunday afternoon? Glassy conditions, a light 4ft swell (15 secs) and calm winds. For a surfer, that’s as good as it gets – perfect, clean lines. This is the standout moment of the first week. The energy is still moderate-to-strong at 716, but the quality is top-tier.

The good run continues through Monday and Tuesday mornings (17th & 18th). Clean, glassy or offshore winds, with 3.6ft SW groundswell (14 seconds). It’s a little smaller, but the conditions are pristine. The wave energy has dropped to moderate levels (around 591), but the shape will be excellent.

From Wednesday the 19th into the weekend, the swell slowly backs off to around 2.3ft to 3ft, with some onshore winds and T-storm risk in the afternoons. The mornings hold clean windows with light winds through to Thursday the 20th, but you’re looking at smaller, weaker energy (343). It’s still surfable for a beginner, but nothing to write home about.

There’s a noticeable lull from around the 21st to the 24th. The swell drops to ankle-snappers (1.3ft) with very long periods (20 seconds) – those long-period groundswells at beach breaks can be a bit tricky and straight. Energy dips to a weak 325. Still, the wind stays glassy or light offshore in the mornings, so a longboard can still catch something small and clean.

The second week picks up again. From Monday the 25th to Wednesday the 27th, we get consistent 2ft SW swell (15-16 seconds) with clean morning breezes. The energy stays weak (253 to 322). You’ll be cruising, not charging.

Now, the real juicy bit for the long range: Saturday the 29th. That morning has a beautiful 3.6ft SW groundswell peaking at 17 seconds, with a light offshore flow. The wave energy jumps back into strong territory at 1049. This is a standout for experts. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it, but if it holds, that morning will be firing. Sunday the 30th is nearly as good with 3.6ft swell and clean conditions.

Overall, if you’re looking for the best clean, surfable waves for everyone, Sunday the 16th morning and afternoon is the pick. For the experienced crew waiting for a bit more juice, Saturday the 29th morning is the one to watch. When crowds are "often" here, expect company on those standout days.
