Alright, let’s talk surf. Right out of the gate, it’s quiet, but there’s a big pulse building. The first real chance is Tuesday 7 July at Guillotines – a point break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special deal. We’ve got a 10-foot SE swell (that’s 3.0m) with serious power – combined energy at 3143 (strong to very strong). Offshore wind out of the SSW at 12 mph keeps it clean, but this is for experienced surfers only. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Tuesday afternoon holds steady, similar size and a little longer period. Wednesday 8 July, the swell drops to 7 feet, still SE, with a gentle offshore wind – still very good, but a step down in power. By Wednesday afternoon, it’s 6 feet and clean.
Thursday 9 July, we’re down to 5 feet, clean, light wind. Still fun. Friday 10 July morning is glassy – just 3 mph wind – with a 4-foot SE swell. Nice and clean, but fading. Friday afternoon gets choppy with cross-onshore wind.
From Saturday 11 July through the middle of the next week, it’s mostly flat and messy – waves under 3 feet, cross-winds, not worth it. A real dry spell.
Then Monday 20 July afternoon, a little bump: 6 feet of S swell, moderate offshore wind, short period – rough but surfable.
The standout is Tuesday 21 July. Guillotines lights up with a 13-foot SSE groundswell, combined energy of 3843 (very strong), 11-second period. Light wind, clean. This is big, powerful, expert-only surf. Tuesday afternoon holds at 12 feet, still clean. Wednesday 22 July sees 10-foot S swell, but with a cross-wind, so not as clean.
Best bet: Tuesday 21 July. Two days of heavy, clean groundswell at a rare-breaking point. If you’re good enough, don’t miss it.

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.
