The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. We've got a bit of a flat spell on our hands here at Suicide Cliffs. The next few days are looking pretty ordinary, but hang tight, because there's a flicker of something decent on the horizon.

The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year at 84°, so nothing unusual there.

We start off on Friday, July 24th, with hardly any swell. It's a tiny 1ft on the south-east with a short period, and a cross-onshore wind. The energy is weak (28). It's a write-off, to be honest. Saturday the 25th sees a slight bump to 4ft from the south-south-east, but the wind is still messy. The combined energy gets up to 301, which is a moderate amount, but the conditions are just not there.

Sunday morning, July 26th, is actually the first little window that looks worth a look. We get a clean 4ft swell from the south with a period of 8 seconds. The wind goes light and offshore, and the wave energy is moderate (254). It's not going to be world-class, but it's the best we've seen so far. The break is very consistent, so you'll get waves, but it's a reef setup, so keep your wits about you. It's an intermediate-plus spot, so not for the absolute beginners.

After that, it goes quiet again. The swell drops right back, and we're looking at a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions through the end of July and into the first week of August. There's a lot of clean, glassy mornings in there, but the swell is just too small to do anything with.

Now, hold on for Monday, August 3rd. The afternoon session is the standout of the whole outlook. We get a clean 3ft swell from the south-west, but the period jumps up to 11 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy. The wind is a light cross-offshore, and the combined energy is a solid 241. This is the one to aim for. The swell direction matches the optimum for the spot. It's a reef break, and a longer period swell like this will be better shaped and have more punch. Keep in mind, with a reef, the longer period means bigger gaps between sets, which can make the paddle out a bit easier.

On Tuesday, August 4th, we get a morning with a gentle offshore wind and a 3ft south-west swell, but it's not as strong as Monday. It's surfable, but Monday afternoon is the real highlight.

Overall, the pick of the bunch is Monday afternoon, August 3rd, at Suicide Cliffs. It's the one time the stars align for a decent, clean session.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
