Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and knots for you.
Gonna be a lean couple of weeks at La Guillotine. Nothing happening at first, so you’re sitting on the beach for a while.
First real opportunity is Sunday July 12th in the morning. Tiny swell – only 1ft out of the southeast with a combined energy of just (6). Light northeast cross-offshore breeze keeps the surface clean, but it’s basically non-surfable unless you’re on a longboard and desperate.
Your best bet, and this is saying something, is Wednesday July 15th in the morning. That’s when combined energy peaks at (16). Swell is 2ft from the south, period a short 5 seconds. Wind is light and cross-off from the northwest so it’ll be glassy. Still, it’s weak and inconsistent. This sandbar is an advanced setup that’s already inconsistent by nature, and this isn’t going to change that.
Water temp is 69°F, right around average for the season.
The second half of July is worse. From the 16th onward, you’ve got days of flatness or tiny, messy waves under 1ft, often with moderate to strong cross-onshore winds making things choppy. Thursday the 23rd morning gives you a clean offshore breeze and 0.7ft from the ESE, but that’s a whisper. Nothing ever pushes past 2ft in the whole outlook.
With these conditions – small, weak, often blown out – it looks like a kite surfer’s playground more than a surfer’s. It’s a long dry spell for paddle surfing and pretty typical for the area this time of year.
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.
