The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the forecast for Suicide Cliffs. This is a reef break that’s very consistent and exposed to the swell, but we’re looking at a pretty grim run here for the next 16 days. The good news is that this spot is ready to go any time the ocean decides to cooperate, but for most of this window, it’s just not happening.
We start off on Sunday, the 26th of July, with a brief highlight. The morning brings a 3ft S swell at 9 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze from the NE at 6 mph. This is the only real window in the whole outlook where I’d say grab your board. The combined energy is moderate at 243, and with that offshore wind, it’ll be clean. It’s not huge, but it’s the best on offer. By afternoon, it drops off, and we’re into a long stretch of nothing.
From Sunday afternoon all the way through to Saturday, the 8th of August, the surf is tiny. Swell heights hover around 1ft to 2ft, with periods of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy drops into the double digits or low triple digits, with values like 15, 26, 37, 46 – that’s weak, barely a ripple. The wind is all over the place, but mostly cross-shore or onshore, and even when it goes glassy, there’s just no wave to ride. It’s a total blank run of about 13 days with no real surf.
Then on Sunday, the 9th of August, we get a pulse of swell. The height is still only 2ft to 2ft, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 130 and then 175 on the afternoon. That’s a moderate energy groundswell. But here’s the kicker – the wind is onshore from the SSE and SE, 9 to 12 mph, turning it into a choppy mess. The conditions are poor, so I wouldn’t get excited.
The standout for the whole period is definitely that Sunday morning, the 26th of July. It’s the only time the stars align for a clean, rideable wave at Suicide Cliffs. The rest of the forecast is a washout. For a spot that’s usually so consistent, it’s a tough run. But hey, it never stays flat forever.

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.
