The Lowdown

Right. So, I’ve had a good look at what’s on the cards for Suicide Cliffs, and I’ll be honest with you, it’s pretty grim for a while.

We’re looking at a solid run of nothing much until September 23rd. That’s almost two weeks where you’d be better off doing something else. There just isn’t any decent surf on offer.

The first real chance, and it’s not a great one, shows up on the morning of Monday the 23rd. We’ll get a pulse of swell coming from the northwest at about 4ft, with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the north-northwest, which will keep the surface clean, but the energy is all a bit weak. The combined energy reading is only 164, so we’re looking at small, weak, close-outs. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon gets a bit smaller and a bit lumpier.

After that, it just fades back into tiny, messy slop for the rest of the run. The water temp here is about average for the time of year.

Honestly, mate, the whole 16-day window is a dud. There are no standouts. The little bit of wave energy we see on the 23rd and 24th is from a short-period swell that won’t wrap in well, and there’s just no consistency. For Suicide Cliffs, this blank run is a pretty normal thing.

Keep the faith, but maybe take up a hobby.

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.
