The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming up for Suicide Cliffs.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a lean stretch. Suicide Cliffs (a reef break) is a very consistent spot, but for the next week and a half, the surf is just too small and the wind is mostly wrong. We’re looking at a solid gap of no real recommendations from now all the way through to the 8th of August. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.

The first real glimmer of hope, and the only proper standout in this whole 16-day window, falls on Sunday the 9th of August. The morning is looking promising. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 260, and with a light breeze, the conditions are clean. The wind is cross-off, which will keep those waves lined up. For a reef break, that NW direction is a good match. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best we’re going to get. Sunday afternoon drops off a bit as the wind picks up, so make the most of that morning session.

Before that, the only other day that even gets a nod is Sunday the 27th of July (that’s this coming Sunday). The morning sees a 3ft south swell with a 9-second period, and a light NE cross-off wind. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (243) and the size is small. It’s a very average option, nothing to write home about.

The big event to watch, but with a major caveat, is the 6th of August. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the SSW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is strong – 402 in the morning and 571 in the afternoon. That’s real power. But the wind is a problem. In the morning, a fresh cross-shore breeze at 22 mph is going to make it lumpy and messy. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off wind, but it’s still a fresh breeze. This is a classic setup where the waves have the size but the wind is going to be fighting you. For a reef, this could be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.

For the rest of the run, we’re looking at tiny 1.0ft to 2ft swells, mostly from the S and SW, with periods under 10 seconds. The energy is weak, often in the double digits. It’s flat, folks. With that many days of poor conditions, you’re better off waiting for the 9th.

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.
