The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’re looking at a long stretch of flatness or near-flatness, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent for a while.
Looking at the whole picture, we’ve got a massive gap of nothing. From now until September 6th, there’s absolutely no surf to speak of. Just clean but empty lineups. The first tiny flicker of life shows up on the morning of Sunday the 6th at La Guillotine. It’s an inconsistent, advanced sandbar spot that rarely offers a window. That morning you might see a pathetic 0.7 ft of swell rolling in from the south, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined wave energy is basically a whisper (1). The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is over 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – you'll definitely notice the bathwater feel. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, so the surface will look clean, but there's just no power to push you around. For a beginner, forget it; even for an advanced surfer, it's barely worth the paddle.
We then drop straight back into flatness again. The morning of September 8th shows a tiny bump of 2 ft from the west, but again with a 3-second period and weak energy (5). It’s not going to break with any shape. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it’ll look clean but it’s basically a lake with a ripple.
The rest of the forecast period is a write-off for surf. From September 9th right through to September 17th, we see almost nothing but zeros in the swell column. A couple of 0.7 ft readings pop up on the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 17th, but all with short periods and energy readings of just 1. These are not rideable waves. The wind stays mostly cross-offshore, which is frustrating because the conditions look clean but there’s nothing to ride. Given the lack of swell and the exposed sandbar setup, this spot looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing right now.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. If you're desperate for a surf, the morning of September 6th is the only time you might catch a tiny thigh-high ripple, but even that’s a stretch. Don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

Information about the La Guillotine Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Guillotine provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Guillotine can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Guillotine 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 (La Guillotine) 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 La Guillotine 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.
