The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for La Guillotine is a tough one. There’s a real dry spell right at the start, with no surf worth paddling out for on Thursday the 6th or Friday the 7th. You’ll be looking at flat to tiny, messy conditions. The first real glimmer of something rideable pops up on Saturday morning the 8th, but it’s tiny – 0.7ft from the S with a short 4-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 1 (weak). That’s more of a float than a surf.
Sunday the 9th is another flat day, but then Monday morning the 10th serves up a slight pulse: 2ft from the S, 5-second period, and energy of 12 (still very weak). The wind is light offshore from the NNW, so the surface will be clean. That’s about the best we get in the first week, but it’s still tiny. Tuesday the 11th through to the end of the first week follow the same pattern – tiny, short-period, inconsistent swell.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. From Thursday the 14th through to Friday the 21st, it’s mostly flat or tiny bumps – 0.3ft to 1.0ft, with periods of 2 to 6 seconds, and energy levels sticking to single digits. The wind is often cross-off or offshore, keeping the surface clean, but there’s simply no power behind the waves. La Guillotine is a sandbar that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so this blank run is more normal for the area.
The water temperature is sitting at 78°F, which is 5°F above the long-term average – that’s much warmer than normal, so you won’t need a wetsuit.
Overall, there are no standout days. The best on offer is Monday morning the 10th, with a tiny 2ft S swell and clean offshore winds, but it’s really only for those who just want to get wet. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off watching the forecast for a change.
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.
La Guillotine is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Agde. If you plan a holiday in Languedoc-Roussillon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Agde. Agde has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
