The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast but in feet and miles per hour.
Right off the bat, it’s a rough run for Suicide Cliffs. The first ten days are mostly a waste with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up the surf. The first morning on the 14th of July has a 4ft south swell at 8 seconds, with a 15 mph south wind straight onshore—it’s choppy and ugly. The wave energy is moderate at 395, but it doesn’t matter with that wind.
The next big gap in decent surf stretches all the way to the 22nd of July. That’s a long, frustrating wait. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year.
The one real standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning brings a clean 5ft southwest swell, 9-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast at 3 mph. The energy is 381 (moderate wave energy). That’s the best it gets. In the afternoon, it goes glassy—dead calm, 0 mph wind, with a 4ft southwest swell, same 9-second period, and energy at 274 (moderate wave energy). This is the only day worth paddling out. The swell direction is perfect for Suicide Cliffs, and the glassy conditions will have it looking like a postcard. Just be aware it’s often crowded, so expect some company.
After that, the 23rd and 24th of July have small, clean waves at 3ft and 3ft, but they’re pretty ordinary. By the 25th, it drops to 2ft with energy down to 73 (weak), and it just fades out to nothing by the end of the month.
So, save your energy for Wednesday the 22nd of July. Everything else before that is blown out, and after that it’s too small. That’s your window.

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.
