Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guillotines over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the waves ahead for Guillotines.
First up, the first week or so is real quiet. Not much juice here – mostly flat and weak, with combined energy in the low hundreds or even less most days. The water temp is 17°, right about normal. Not much reason to get wet until the second half of the month.
The big moment comes on Wednesday, July 15th. The morning shows a clean 2.5m swell from the south, with a 14-second interval between sets – that’s proper groundswell, pushing some real power. Wind is light offshore from the southwest, glassy and clean. Combined energy hits 2277, way up there. This is a legit standout – for experienced surfers only, because 2.5m is big, and Guillotines is an inconsistent spot, so when it fires, it’s a session you’ll remember. The afternoon settles down to 2.0m with a shorter period, still clean.
After that, the second week has a few smaller pulses. July 22nd again gives us a noticeable morning: 1.8m from the south at 8 seconds, glassy, with combined energy at 726. The afternoon gets better with 2.2m and an 11-second period, clean cross-offshore, and energy at 1384 – another solid day for the experienced surfer.
There’s not much else worth paddling for outside those two days. A bit of small stuff mid-weekend and the following days, but nothing to get excited about. Hang tight for the 15th and the 22nd.
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.
