Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about what we’ve got coming up for Suicide Cliffs.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. Nothing weird there.

Right now, there’s no surf worth paddling for. Tuesday and Wednesday are flat with tiny 1ft to 1ft swell. The wind is light, but the ocean’s just not doing anything. A couple of days of nothing.

The real story starts Thursday, July 9th. The swell jumps massively to 15ft from the SE, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s groundswell, no doubt. The combined energy is a massive 11324 (moderate to strong). But here’s the thing: that’s a lot of juice. By Thursday afternoon, it’s hitting 18ft, and the wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 25 mph, keeping things clean. But at over 8ft, this is strictly for experts. Beginners, stay on the beach.

Friday, July 10th, is when it gets out of control. We’re looking at 33ft to 38ft swells from the SE and SSE, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The energy readings are off the charts – 66318 and 78575. That’s very strong. The wind is cross-shore gale force, 37-43 mph. This is less about surfing and more about survival. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wave comment says it’s too big for this break.

Saturday, July 11th, still sees massive 18ft to 25ft swells, but the wind switches to a cross-on from the SE, making it blown out. Still too big for anyone but experts.

By Sunday, July 12th, the swell drops to 12ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on from the SSE, and the period shortens to 11 seconds. The energy is still moderate (4474), but the conditions are poor and lumpy. Not great.

Monday, July 13th, is more of the same – 10ft, short period, cross-on wind, poor. The surf quality is poor.

Tuesday, July 14th, the swell drops to 7ft, but the wind is still onshore, and the period is only 8 seconds. Marginal at best.

From Wednesday, July 15th, through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, July 22nd, the swell sits between 3ft and 6ft. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, with periods staying short (7-12 seconds). The energy is weak to moderate (227 to 1346). There are some moments of cleaner wind on the cross-off days, like the morning of July 20th and the afternoon of July 22nd. On July 22nd afternoon, the wind goes light offshore from the NNE, and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” but with only 3ft of swell, it’s a small, clean day for longboards or fun shapes. The standout in that second week would be the afternoon of July 22nd – small but clean.

Overall, the best on offer is the Thursday, July 9th, morning session, but only if you’re an expert. For everyone else, the last few days of the window show a glimmer of hope, but it’s a long wait of poor conditions through the middle of the month.

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.
