G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a grim stretch ahead for Suicide Cliffs. The wind is going to be a constant issue, and most of the real size is just too dangerous. There’s truly only one standout window that’s worth your time, and it’s risky at best.

The whole forecast starts off flat and weak. Wednesday morning only has 1 ft of WSW swell with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 21 (weak). Cross-off wind is okay, but there’s just no punch. Wednesday afternoon drops to 1.0 ft with 12 energy – it’s a total write-off. Then Thursday morning, things get wild. A massive 16 ft SE groundswell arrives, period 17 seconds, and the energy jumps to 14626 (strong). A 20 ft swell later Thursday afternoon hits 19590 (strong). But the wind is 22-25 mph cross-off, and it’s just too big. This size is for experts only, and even then, it’s borderline dangerous.

Friday is when it gets properly out of control. Friday morning: 33 ft SE swell at 18 seconds, energy of 123799 (very strong). Friday afternoon: 34 ft SSE swell at 18 seconds, energy 68930 (very strong). That’s gale-force cross-shore wind. This setup is not for surfing – it’s kite-surfing territory only. Saturday stays colossal with 28 ft and 20 ft SSW/SW swells, but gale-force cross-onshore wind blows it out completely. Sunday and Monday drop to 12 ft and 8 ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. Tuesday and Wednesday limp along with 3-5 ft S swell, short period around 8 seconds, and cross-shore wind messing up the face. Nothing clean.

Now for the one interesting moment. Thursday 16 July morning could be a real surprise. The swell is 5 ft from the SSE with a long period of 12 seconds, combined energy of 689 (moderate). The wind is light ENE at 12 mph, cross-off, and the water is clean. This is the standout, the only real chance for a decent session. The swell direction from the SSE isn’t perfect for Suicide Cliffs (optimum is SW), but that long-period groundswell will wrap in with some shape. It’s a reef break that’s very consistent, so expect waves. Just be aware, crowds are often a thing here. Thursday afternoon holds similar conditions but the period shortens to 10 seconds, so the morning is the pick.

After that, it’s back to mediocrity. Friday 17 July has strong cross-off wind but poor surf. Saturday and Sunday are small, crossed-up, and onshore. The final days into late July show onshore wind and swell under 7 ft, but with short periods and lumpy conditions. No real quality.

So honestly, the only window that gives any hope is Thursday 16 July morning. Get on it if you can. Everything else is either flat, blown out, or too big to touch.

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.
