Guillotines surf guide

Guillotines is a challenging surf spot known for its intense waves, drawing experienced surfers seeking a tough ride. Tucked away in a beautiful environment, it delivers a thrilling experience for those ready to tackle its reputation. The wave can be intimidating, so itโ€™s not the spot for beginners or the faint-hearted.

This wave features a scary freefall drop that quickly develops into a powerful barrel, folding down a rocky ledge. The waves usually come in from the east and can handle swell sizes around 5ft (about 1.5 meters). You'll find it breaking over an uneven reef, primarily offering right-hand waves. For the best surfing conditions, the preferred wind direction is south-west, and mid tide tends to work best.

While the spot has its appeal, it can have low consistency, so itโ€™s good to check conditions before heading out. It can also get crowded, especially with surfers looking for those big barrels. Keep in mind that only expert surfers should attempt to ride these waves, as they demand skill and experience.
