Table - best surf conditions forecast for Suicide Cliffs over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let me lay it out for yah.
First up, we got a pretty grim stretch ahead at Suicide Cliffs. The next week or so is not looking like much fun at all – mostly onshore wind and messy, bumpy conditions. The water temp is about 84.6°, which is right on average for this time of year, so no worries there for a warm dip.
The first real chance to get a clean wave doesn't roll around until Saturday the 18th. The swell will be tiny, maybe waist-high at 3.3 ft from the SW, but the wind goes light offshore from the north early. It'll be clean, but really weak with combined energy only 142. It’s surfable, just.
The standout window is shaping up to be from Sunday the 26th morning into Monday the 27th. On Sunday the 26th, we start seeing some better energy, 4.3 ft waves from the SW with a 9-second period, combined energy 352. The light cross-offshore wind from the ENE will keep it glassy and clean. But the real highlight hits Monday morning the 27th: a solid 6.9 ft SSW groundswell, period at 9 seconds, combined energy at 743. That’s got some push! The wind is light ENE, cross-offshore, making for clean, well-shaped waves. It’s solid intermediate-to-expert territory at that size. Sets will be a bit more spaced out with that period, so paddle out is easier. This is the best bet on offer, but crowds are likely at this spot – Suicide Cliffs is a very consistent and exposed reef.
Tuesday the 21st afternoon also shapes up nicely: 6.2 ft from the SW, period 10 seconds, combined energy 1123 and moderate ENE cross-offshore breeze. Clean, punchy waves with a bit more size. Another good option if you can't wait for the weekend.
There’s a long gap of poor to marginal surf from now through to the 17th, so don’t waste your time early. Hold out for those cleaner days.

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.

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.
