Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guillotines over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. One spot’s about to turn it on, but you better know what you’re doing.
The action starts Wednesday, July 8th. Guillotines is an inconsistent point break for advanced surfers only. Water temp’s about 17°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Wednesday morning brings 2.2m of SE swell, 10-second period, with a light offshore breeze – clean conditions. Combined energy is pumping at (1133). Wednesday afternoon stays solid with 1.9m SE swell, still clean on a light cross-off breeze. Thursday the 9th goes smaller – 1.4m in the morning with a light offshore, still good. Friday the 10th morning is the standout early call: glassy flat calm and 1.3m SE swell, making for some beautiful lined-up waves on that point.
Then it goes flat from Saturday the 11th through Wednesday the 15th – just tiny dribble and cross-shore junk. Not worth a paddle.
Thursday the 16th morning gets huge: 4.0m of S swell at 12 seconds, fresh offshore wind, combined energy (7473). That’s serious power. Thursday afternoon is even bigger: 4.5m S swell at 13 seconds, fresh offshore again, energy at (9437). This is the true standout – a proper groundswell. On a point break, that long period should wrap in beautifully, but it’s strictly for experts.
Friday the 17th morning drops to 3.0m SSE swell at 12 seconds, still clean, energy (2355). Still a big day for the right crew. Saturday the 18th morning has 1.6m S swell at 10 seconds, glassy – a nice clean option for those wanting a bit less size. Sunday the 19th onward goes small and choppy again.
Bottom line: advanced surfers want Thursday 16th July. That’s the one. Glassy Friday 18th morning is a solid backup. The rest is waiting.
Rusty.

Information about the Guillotines Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Guillotines provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Guillotines can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Guillotines surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Guillotines) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Guillotines may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
