Guiones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards for this stretch, with a nice pulse of groundswell and mostly clean mornings. The first few days are a bit small, but it builds into a real standout around the middle of August.

The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Wednesday 12th August kicks things off with a small 2ft swell from the SW, but with a long 16 second period that gives it some shape. The morning is clean with a light offshore breeze, and the combined energy is moderate (405). It’s a good start, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-onshore wind.

Thursday 13th August morning is glassy and clean again, with a similar 2ft SW swell, but the period is a touch shorter at 15 seconds. Afternoon turns choppy, so make the most of the early session.

Friday 14th August morning is where things start to get interesting. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SW, and the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is light offshore, the water is clean, and the combined energy sits at 921 (moderate). This is a real nice morning. The afternoon stays decent but gets a bit tricky with a cross-onshore breeze.

Saturday 15th August is the standout. Morning brings 5ft of SW swell with a 16 second period, combined energy hitting 1254 (strong). The wind is light offshore, the waves are clean, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best on offer. If you can handle it, this is your morning. The afternoon has a chance of thunderstorms and a cross-shore breeze, so go early.

Sunday 16th August still has plenty of size – 4ft SW swell with a 15 second period – and both morning and afternoon are clean with offshore or cross-offshore winds. The energy is still strong (869). Good consistency on offer.

Monday 17th August holds the 4ft SW swell, with a period easing to 14 seconds. Morning has light offshore wind and clean conditions, and the afternoon stays offshore too. A solid day.

Tuesday 18th August morning is glassy. Absolutely glassy. 4ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and not a breath of wind. The combined energy is moderate (527). That’s a dreamy session. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore breeze, but the morning is pure magic.

Wednesday 19th August morning is glassy again with 3ft of 15 second SW swell. Clean and calm. Good for a fun session.

From Thursday 20th August onwards, the swell drops back. Mornings are glassy or light offshore, but the wave height sits around 2ft to 3ft through the rest of the week and into the next. The periods stay long, often 13-19 seconds, so there’s still some life in the water, but it’s definitely smaller. There’s a gap of smaller, less consistent surf from the 20th through to the 27th, with only a few mornings offering clean conditions and small waves.

Thursday 27th August morning sees a slight uptick to 2ft from the SW with a long 18 second period, and a light offshore wind. Combined energy is back up to 404. It’s not the big stuff, but it’s a clean, fun end to the outlook.

All in all, the pick of the run is Saturday 15th August morning at Guiones – that’s the one to circle. The early sessions on Friday 14th and Tuesday 18th are also top-notch.

Rusty out.
