Guiones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next 16 days at Guiones. We’ve got a solid run of small, clean surf rolling through, nothing too crazy, but plenty of fun waves for the beginner to intermediate crew. The standout is a sweet glassy window on the morning of July 11th, and a sneaky good pulse on the morning of July 24th.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shocks there. Just your usual tropical bath.

We start with Thursday morning, July 9th. It’s clean, with a 4 ft swell from the SW and a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is moderate (629). The wind is light and offshore from the ENE, so expect clean, glassy lines. This is a highlight for sure. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze and a risk of storms, so get out early.

Friday the 10th is another clean morning, with a 3 ft SW swell, still that long 15-second period. Wind is cross-offshore from the NE, so the waves will have a bit of shape. The afternoon sees the same cross-onshore wind and storm risk, so mornings are your friend.

Now, Saturday morning, July 11th, is a beauty. The swell drops a touch to 3 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (607). This is the best of the first week. Expect clean, peeling waves, perfect for the longboard or a funboard. The afternoon turns cross-shore and a bit messy.

Sunday morning, July 12th, is still glassy, with 3 ft SW swell, but the energy drops a bit (466). It’s still good, but the afternoon turns into a washout with a 9 mph cross-onshore wind and poor conditions.

Monday the 13th through to Wednesday the 15th keep the trend: small 2 ft to 3 ft SW swell, with clean mornings and glassy or offshore winds. The energy sits in the moderate range (335 to 522). The Wednesday afternoon of the 15th is a nice little pick-up, with a 3 ft SW swell, 15-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind. The combined energy hits 522. Worth a paddle.

Thursday the 16th morning is clean again with a 2 ft S swell, but the afternoon gets a bit of a bump to 4 ft from the SSW, though the period drops to 12 seconds and the wind goes cross-shore. It’s a bit jumbled.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are clean in the mornings, with offshore winds and 3 ft to 3 ft SSW swell. Good, consistent little waves. The energy is moderate (292 to 473). Sunday the 19th morning is clean, but the afternoon gets slammed by a cross-onshore wind, so bail out early.

The second week, from Monday the 20th to Thursday the 23rd, continues the pattern: small 2 ft to 3 ft SW swell, mostly clean mornings with offshore or glassy winds. Crowds are often at Guiones, so expect company, but the waves are consistent and forgiving.

Then, the final standout: Friday morning, July 24th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the S, with a 12-second period. The wind is glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is strong (602). This is the best of the whole run for the second week. It’s a bit of a wait, but the promise is real. Get excited for that morning.

The gaps between good surf are just the afternoons, really. Every morning has something rideable. No big dry spells.

Rusty.
