The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at the charts for Suicide Cliffs. I gotta be straight with you – this isn't a pretty picture. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We're looking at a long, dry gap with no real action.

The only spot on the radar is Suicide Cliffs, a very consistent reef break. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Kicking off on Friday the 4th, we’ve got a 7ft SW swell with a 10-second period, but it’s got a cross-on wind from the SW at 19 mph. The wave energy is moderate (880), but the wind is just ruining it – lumpy and poor. That afternoon doesn't get any better. Saturday the 5th, the swell drops to 5ft from the SSW, but the wind howls from the W at 25 mph. The afternoon jumps to an 8ft NW swell, but that's with a 28 mph cross-off wind. The energy is strong (1020), but that’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a surfing one.

Sunday the 6th sees the swell drop right off. We get offshore winds from the N on the afternoon, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the SW, with only weak energy (110). It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The week that follows is a total desert. From Monday the 7th right through to Thursday the 17th, it’s all tiny, weak swells – under 3ft, with periods mostly under 8 seconds. The combined energy barely breaks 100 most days, and often it’s in the single digits. The wind is often offshore, which is a tease, but when the swell is that small, it’s a flat spell, pure and simple.

There’s a slight glimmer on Friday the 18th, with a 4ft SW swell and a 5-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the NE. The energy is moderate (147), and it’s clean. But the score is a 1 out of 10 – it’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. The weekend after that, Saturday the 19th, is back to nothing.

So, to be clear, there is no standout session here. The forecast is persistently poor for the entire 16 days. For an area with a very consistent break like Suicide Cliffs, this is a quiet spell. It’s a real shame, but sometimes the ocean just shuts down. Keep an eye on the charts, though; it tends not to stay this flat for long.
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.
