The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. This is a tough one, mate. For the next week and a half, it’s a complete goose egg. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t pop up until Thursday, August 6th, and even then it’s a handful. Before that, we’re looking at a long, boring stretch with nothing to ride.

Suicide Cliffs is the only spot we’ve got the dope on, and for the first week, it’s a total shutout. We’re talking ankle-snappers at 1.0 to 2 feet from the SW with a weak 8-second interval. The combined wave energy is pathetic, stuck in the low teens and twenties (14 to 28). The wind is often glassy or clean, but there’s zero push in the water. You’d be better off floating in a pool. The water temp is a balmy 86°, which is about 1° above normal for this time of year—great for a dip, but useless for surfing.

There’s a tiny pulse on Tuesday morning, August 4th, with a touch more size at 2 feet from the WNW and a clean offshore wind. But the period is still a weak 7 seconds, and the energy is only at 37, so it’s still too weak to get stoked about.

Now, Thursday August 6th is where the wheels come off or the fun begins. The swell jumps to a solid 8 feet from the WNW. The period is still short at 7 seconds, but the energy cranks up to 483, which is moderate. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW. This is serious size, and for the experienced crew, it could be a heavy, meaty wave. But with that short period and the reef bottom, it’s going to be a handful and dangerous for anyone except the experts.

It gets even bigger and uglier from there. Friday August 7th sees 10 feet of swell, but the wind turns into a screaming 43 mph cross-shore from the West. The energy hits a whopping 1218, which is very strong, but with gale-force winds, it’s going to be a full-on stormy mess. Honestly, with that much wind and power, Suicide Cliffs is going to be more appealing to kite surfers than paddle surfers. It stays messy and blown out through the weekend and into the next week with onshore winds and big, raw swell. There is a tiny glimmer of hope on Wednesday August 12th and Thursday August 13th, when the swell drops back to a more manageable 3 to 4 feet from the South, with a long 11-second period and clean, offshore wind. The energy is moderate (288 to 333), and the forecast even says "expect good surf conditions" on the morning of the 13th. That’s deep in the forecast, so take it with a grain of salt, but if it pans out, those long period S swells at Suicide Cliffs could link up and offer some nice, lined-up reef waves. Keep your fingers crossed.

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.

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.
