The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's run through it in feet and miles.

Alright, straight talk. We're looking at a long dry spell. The only break in the game is Suicide Cliffs, a reef setup that needs a SW swell. But for the first week and a half, it's a no-go. The swell is tiny, between 1ft and 3ft, with a weak 8-second period. The wind is mostly clean or cross-off, but there's no energy in the water. The combined swell energy is mostly in the double digits, barely hitting triple digits, which is weak for a real wave. The water is a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year.

There's a big gap here. From July 27th right through to August 8th, it's pretty much flat to near-flat. You're not gonna find a ride worth paddling for.

Then, around the 9th of August, things start to rumble. The swell picks up, and the combined energy hits 190 (moderate) on the morning of the 9th, and by the 10th of August afternoon, it's at 396 (strong). The swell is from the SW, which is what this spot loves, and it's around 5ft. But the wind is cross-on from the SE, and it's going to be choppy. Not clean, but it's the most interesting window in the whole 16-day run.

For the standout, you gotta look at the afternoon of the 10th of August. That's the biggest swell of the run, with a solid 5ft of SW groundswell and a 10-second period, pushing a strong 396 combined energy. It's a real shot. But that cross-on wind will mess up the surface. It's a trade-off. The 11th of August morning has similar size, but the wind is still cross-on, though a bit lighter. This spot can get crowded, so expect company.

For the first week, don't bother. If you're a true surfer, mark the 10th of August. It's not gonna be perfect, but it's the only shot you've got.

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.
