Guillotines 2 (Bawley Point Coast)

Guillotines 2 (Bawley Point Coast) is a right-hand point break set on a shallow rocky ledge. When the southeast swell is in, it can deliver hollow, powerful sections with strong barrel potential—though the bottom and entry/exit are unforgiving. The spot is repeatedly characterized as expert-only. Hazards include sharp rocks, shallow reef ledges, heavy hold-downs, and sharks. Conditions can also be more hazardous during larger swells because strong sweeps/rip currents may develop, and the wave can become extremely dangerous and more “mutant-like” as size builds. Wind is described as most helpful when westerly to northwesterly winds are present, as these can groom the wave face and support barrel formation; light NW–SW winds are noted as particularly barrel-friendly. Best conditions are also tied to mid tide. The broader guidance highlights that the local scene can be heavy and the break can get quite busy during peak swell windows. For timing, sources emphasize watching sets for a long time before committing, and being especially careful with rock timing during both entry and exit to avoid injury or gear damage. The nearby medical response is centered around Milton and Ulladulla, and there is no lifeguard presence reported at the spot.
