Guiones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s some real magic waiting for us if we’re patient.

We’re kicking things off with a bit of a wait. The first proper window of decent surf doesn’t really open up until Monday morning the 14th. Before that, it’s all a bit messy with afternoon storms and onshore breezes. Once we hit Monday the 14th, the pattern shifts. The water is sitting at a very warm 87°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable jump, so you can leave the thick suit at home.

The standout session of the whole run, and honestly the one I’m most excited about, is Tuesday morning the 15th at Guiones. We’re looking at a clean 2ft glassy swell from the SW. The combined energy is a solid 560 (moderate energy), but with that 18-second period, it's a proper long-period groundswell that will wrap in with some real push. The wind is dead calm – glassy as can be – and the early morning will be pure magic. It’s a consistent spot, but it can get busy, so get out there early for the cleanest waves.

Following that, Wednesday morning the 16th is another cracker. The swell has bumped up a touch to 3ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is even stronger at 770 (moderate energy). The wind is offshore, glassy conditions again. This is a great follow-up day if you missed Tuesday.

Looking further ahead, Sunday morning the 20th looks like a beauty. The swell is back to 3ft from the SW, with a long 19-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 765. With the wind going dead calm and glassy, this is another morning to circle on your calendar. The swell direction is a perfect match for what Guiones likes.

There’s a bit of a gap in quality in the middle of the second week, but things get big and interesting towards the end. On Saturday the 26th, a serious pulse is forecast. The swell jumps to a massive 13ft, then 16ft, from the S. The combined energy hits 10,661 (very strong energy). But listen, that's expert territory only – over 8ft, this break is for the brave and the skilled. The wind is offshore and glassy, so the conditions will be there, but the raw power is not for everyone. If you’re not an expert, stay on the sand and watch. This is also a long-period swell, which will make the sets very clean and powerful, but with a period of 10-11 seconds, it's not overly drawn out.

After that, things settle down again. Sunday morning the 27th offers a much more manageable 6ft from the SW, with a short 8-second period and glassy winds. It’s clean, but the short period means it won't have the same punch as the previous days.

All in all, the first week has two or three absolute gems of glassy mornings. The second week is a mixed bag that builds to a massive, expert-only peak before calming down again. Stay patient, pick your windows, and you’ll be rewarded.

Rusty.
