Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Suicide Cliffs.

The outlook starts quiet and stays that way for a solid stretch. We’ve got nothing doing from this Friday, July 3rd, all the way through to the better part of the second week. The first proper nod of something worthwhile doesn’t pop up until Thursday, July 16th. That’s a long, uneventful gap.

The main event, and the only true standout in this whole window, lands on Thursday the 16th. Morning at Suicide Cliffs will see a clean 1.4m SSW groundswell (that’s about 5ft), period 9 seconds, with glassy conditions. That’s about as good as it gets for this spot, and the combined energy is moderate (367). The afternoon cleans up too, a little bigger at 1.7m (about 6ft) from the S, with a light cross-offshore breeze keeping things tidy. This is the one to circle. The moderate combined energy (484) suggests there’s enough push for a fun session.

Before that, we’ve got a period of absolute chaos. On Thursday, July 9th, a massive 6.0m (20ft) SE groundswell with a very long 18-second period rolls in. The combined energy is extreme (22090). That’s not just big – it’s a wall of water. At over 2.5m (8ft), this is strictly for experts, and honestly, with those kinds of numbers, it’s likely too much for Suicide Cliffs to handle cleanly. Winds are cross-off, so it’s not blown out, but the size is the issue. This carries into Friday the 10th with even bigger 10.0m+ (33ft+) swell (energy up to 61561) and near-gale cross-onshore winds. That setup looks far more appealing for kite surfing than paddle surfing. By Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, size drops but winds stay messy and onshore, keeping the quality poor for a paddle.

The water temperature is sitting at about 81°F, which is a bit colder than normal for the time of year (about 2°F below average). Worth noting for that Thursday session – you might want the 2mm spring suit instead of boardshorts.

Suicide Cliffs is a very consistent reef break, exposed to the SW swell, though often crowded. That Thursday, expect company, but the trade-off is clean, surfable waves.

So, the call is simple: sit tight through the first two weeks of July. The weekend of the 4th is a total write-off. Don’t bother with the 9th and 10th unless you’re towing in or flying a kite. Mark your calendar for Thursday, July 16th. That’s our window for a proper session.

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.

Suicide Cliffs is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Itoman. If you plan a holiday in Okinawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Itoman. Itoman has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
