Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Suicidio over the next 16 days.
G’day, it’s Rusty again. Let’s look at the same run in feet and miles.
Alright, for El Suicidio, the next 16 days are a bit of a rollercoaster. The first few days are small and uninspiring, but the weekend of July 11th and 12th starts to show some life. The real jewels are July 15th morning and July 20th morning.
Wednesday July 8th is tiny – 2ft from the south with a period of 8 seconds, combined energy of 65, and a cross-off wind from the west-northwest at 9 mph. Clean but small. Thursday July 9th morning has a 2ft east-southeast swell with a 10-second period, offshore wind from the north at 3 mph, and low energy (85). It’s glassy but gutless.
The first proper session is Saturday July 11th morning. Swell at 3ft from the east-southeast, 10-second period, cross-off from the northeast at 9 mph, and combined energy of 438 – that’s moderate energy. The report says good surf conditions. That’s your green light. Sunday July 12th morning is also clean with a 3ft swell, 13-second period, light cross-off, and energy of 277.
Tuesday July 14th afternoon is a hidden gem. Swell at 4ft from the southeast, 9-second period, energy of 291, and offshore wind from the north-northwest at 9 mph. Clean and punchy.
The first standout is Wednesday July 15th morning. Swell of 3ft from the southeast, but that 13-second period is the key. Combined energy of 400. Light cross-off from the northwest at 6 mph. The point will be clean and lined up. Water temp is average for the season.
The second standout is Monday July 20th morning. Swell at 3ft from the east, 10-second period, combined energy of 273. Offshore wind from the north-northwest at 6 mph – glassy. Crowds are possible but not guaranteed. That’s a session to mark on the calendar.
The rest of the run is mostly blown out or too messy, especially July 22nd and 23rd with winds over 25 mph and choppy waves. Stick to the windows I’ve called out.
Rusty.

Information about the El Suicidio Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Suicidio provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Suicidio can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Suicidio 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 (El Suicidio) 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 El Suicidio 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.
