The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim for a long stretch. We’re in for a flat spell that’s going to test your patience. From now until around the 10th of August, there’s basically nothing doing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the south, with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper, sitting at just 40 (weak energy), and it doesn’t really get any better for days. The winds are often glassy or clean, but with no wave height to speak of, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year.
We’ve got a solid gap of over a week with no real surf to recommend. The first day that even sniffs a wave is Monday the 10th of August, but even then, it’s only 2ft of south-west swell, period 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 130 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is a clean offshore from the north-northeast in the morning. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Suicide Cliffs is a reef break that is very consistent, but when the swell is this small, it’s just not going to light up. No standout here.
The best of a very quiet bunch looks like it might be the afternoon of the 12th of August. We’re looking at 3ft of south swell with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy hits 310 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-off from the east-northeast, keeping it clean. It’s still a marginal call, and the swell is small, but for a spot that’s been flat for days, this is the closest we get to a pulse. Don’t expect any barrels, just small, clean lines. This is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
That’s it for now. The next week and a half is a write-off, so maybe tune up your gear or go for a paddle. The 12th is the only day that might be worth a look, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Rusty.

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