Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the outlook for Guillotines. We’ve got a cracking run ahead, but you’ve got to know when to paddle out and when to stay on the beach. This spot is an advanced point break that’s inconsistent, so don’t expect it to be pumping every day. When it is on, it’s a proper wave.
The water is sitting at 65° right now, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The opening salvos on Saturday the 4th are pretty lackluster. You’ve got a tiny 2ft south swell with short 8-second period, and the conditions are very ordinary. Not worth getting wet for. Sunday the 5th is where things start to get interesting. That morning is a bit gnarly with 7ft and strong 16 mph offshore winds, but it’s a bit raw. The real kicker is Sunday afternoon: 8ft of south-southeast swell with a proper 12-second period, solid offshore winds, and the wave energy is pumping at 1572. This is expert territory but the waves will be excellent.
Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th keep the goods coming. You’ve got consistent 7ft to 7ft swell from the SSE, with 10-second periods and clean offshore winds each morning. The energy stays strong (between 736 and 1904), and the conditions are consistently very good to excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday the 9th morning is a standout with 8ft swell and a score to match – that’s going to be a big, powerful day at Guillotines.
Friday the 10th holds steady with more 7ft swell, but by Saturday the 11th the swell backs off to 4ft. The morning session on Saturday the 11th is a real treat though – glassy conditions with 3 mph offshore winds and a clean 4ft SE swell. That’s a proper window for the advanced crew to have some fun without the full-on power of the bigger days.
After that, we hit a flat spell from Sunday the 12th through Monday the 13th. The swell drops to under 2ft and the winds are all wrong, so don’t bother.
Tuesday the 14th is a tricky one. The size comes back up to 10ft, but it’s a short 8-second period and the conditions are described as marginal. That’s a lot of lumpy water. Wednesday the 15th morning improves with 8ft and good offshore wind, but the energy drops off in the afternoon.
The real story for the second week is Saturday the 18th. That afternoon session is the absolute standout of the entire outlook. 10ft of south-east swell, an 11-second period, light cross-off winds, and the wave energy is a massive 4742. That is serious, powerful surf for experts only.
Sunday the 19th morning offers another chance with glassy conditions and 8ft swell, but the wind swings onshore in the afternoon and the quality drops.
Bottom line: The best of the best is that Saturday the 18th afternoon session. Don’t miss it if you’ve got the skills. The whole run from Sunday the 5th through Friday the 10th is a solid bet for experienced surfers, but that last Saturday is the one.
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.
