The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Suicide Cliffs over the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the start of this outlook is a tough one to swallow. We’re lookin’ at a real quiet spell from Wednesday the 22nd of July all the way through the first week. The swell is puny, the direction is all over the place, and almost every session is tagged as poor surf. There’s just nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, which is keeping everything messy. You’ll be lookin’ at a blank stretch of days with no real recommendations. It’s one of those spells where you just have to wait it out.

Now, let’s talk about the water temp. For Suicide Cliffs, it’s about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 25th of July. We’ve got a bump in swell to 5 ft coming from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (493), but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be a bit choppy. The morning session is still marked as poor, but the afternoon gets a marginal call. Honestly, it’s not a standout, but it’s the first sign of life.

The standout in this whole 16-day window is without a doubt the period from Tuesday the 4th of August onwards. This is the one you’ve been waitin’ for. On Tuesday morning, we see a 2 ft swell from the SE with a really long period of 14 seconds (groundswell). The energy is low (123), but the wind is cross-offshore and the conditions are clean. That long period means the waves will have shape, but at a reef break like Suicide Cliffs, the long period is a good thing – it’ll line up nicely.

But the real bomb hits on Tuesday afternoon. Holy moly – we’re talkin’ a massive 36 ft swell from the SE with a 13-second period and a combined energy reading of 40069. That’s extreme. The wind is cross-offshore and clean. The catch? The notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break. At over 8 ft, this is strictly for experts only, and 36 ft is next level. This is a huge, powerful swell that will be a sight to see, but only the most experienced chargers should even think about it. The same theme continues on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August, with 26 ft and 25 ft swells from the S and SSW, also with clean cross-offshore winds. These are all expert-only conditions.

So, if you’re an expert lookin’ for a massive, clean groundswell event, the first week of August is the real deal. The Tuesday 4th of August afternoon session is the absolute standout, but it’s a beast. For everyone else, the first week and a half is a write-off. Keep your eyes on the long-range charts, because that big swell is comin’, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

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.
