The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty talking, and let’s break down what El Suicidio’s got for you.
Water’s running at 56°F, a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so not too bad.
Sunday the 13th is a no-go. 6ft of SSE swell, but the wind’s blowing onshore at 16 mph and the energy’s weak (486). Messy conditions.
Monday the 14th drops to 2ft, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. Energy’s low (169), so it’s a log session.
Tuesday the 15th is flat and then windy—by afternoon, 22 mph southwest wind kills it.
Wednesday the 16th sees 5 to 5ft of swell, moderate energy (423), but the wind stays messy. Thursday the 17th morning: north wind 12 mph offshore, 3ft SSE swell, clean. Workable.
Friday the 18th goes flat by afternoon.
Now the standout: Monday the 21st of September. Morning has 6ft east swell, 9 seconds, energy 531, with north-northeast offshore wind at 12 mph. That’s clean, punchy, and the best of the period. The afternoon holds at 5ft but the wind goes onshore. Morning is the window.
Wednesday the 23rd afternoon: 4ft, 12 seconds, 560 energy, but onshore wind spoils it.
Thursday the 24th morning: 4ft, 12 seconds, 365 energy, offshore north wind at 9 mph. Clean again.
After that, it fades into smaller, weaker surf. Sunday the 27th sees 8ft, 12 seconds from the south, energy 1857, but cross-onshore wind at 19 mph makes it a kite session.
Monday the 28th morning: 5ft SSE, 12 seconds, 573 energy, offshore north-northwest at 16 mph. Clean but not the best.
Lock in Monday the 21st September morning. That’s the one.

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.
