The Lowdown
Rusty here again, same spot, same story, now in feet for you.
Right, Suicide Cliffs. A consistent reef break that sees its share of crowd. Exposed to southwest swell. But right now? Flat out bleak.
From Monday, July 27th, we are in the doldrums. The combined swell energy is pathetic—starts off at 168 but quickly falls to numbers in the teens and twenties (very weak energy). Wave heights? 2-3 feet at best on Monday morning, then shrinking to 1-1.5 feet. The period is short, 7-8 seconds—that’s just weak windswell. Direction is S and SW. Water temp is average, nothing wild.
The wind offers some relief. From Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, we get light offshore and even glassy calm on Thursday afternoon, the 30th. The waves are clean but tiny, with energy down to 16-20 (very weak). It’s beautiful for a swim, not for surfing. A long gap of poor, tiny surf stretches out.
The only possible highlight shows up on Tuesday morning, August 11th. Swell finally pushes up to about 5 feet from the SW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 695 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest reading in the whole outlook. But—the wind is cross-onshore from the SE at about 9 mph, so it’ll be choppy. And at 5 feet on a reef, that’s not for beginners. The call is “marginal.” Crowds are often, so expect to have company. This is the only stand-out window in the entire 16-day run.
Everything else is flat, or tiny, with weak energy. Beginners have nothing to ride until that August 11th bump, and even then, 5 feet and onshore wind is no picnic.
A pretty dead run. Not normal for this break, but it’s what we’ve got. Forecasts can always change, so keep an eye, but set your expectations low.

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.
