The Lowdown
'Course, talkin' in feet and knots now.
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I gotta tell ya, the next couple of weeks are looking grim for La Guillotine. We're lookin' at a full 16-day stretch with almost no surf worth mentionin'. The combined swell energy is barely a blip, with the highest number I see reachin' only 16 (on August 8th morning), and the swell period is stuck on a puny 3 to 7 seconds. That's just wind chop, mate, nothin' with any guts.
Kickin' off on Wednesday, July 29th, there's a dead flat ocean. This starts a long run of junk conditions. Mornings will be clean enough, with glass or offshore breezes, but without any swell push, it's just a flat, pretty sea. The water temp is a notable 78°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for the season – feels like a heated pool.
We'll see some tiny, weak pulses of about 1 foot from the SSE or S on Thursday, July 30th and Friday, July 31st, but with those short 4-second periods, it's all fluff. Then another flat spell rolls in until a small bump on Wednesday, August 6th. Even the "best" looking day, Saturday morning, August 8th, with a combined energy of 16 and a 2-foot swell from the ESE, is still called "poor surf conditions." Winds will be clean, but the swell is just too weak to make any kind of rideable wave. This place is an inconsistent sandbar, and this forecast is showing you exactly why. The whole window is a bust.
Rusty out.

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.
