The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty bleak for Suicide Cliffs. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Friday the 11th. Before that, it’s a whole lotta nothing. From now through to Thursday the 10th, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or roaring offshore, and the energy just isn’t there. That’s a solid seven-day stretch with no real surf on offer.

Now, let’s talk about the one bright spot that finally arrives. On the morning of Friday the 11th, we get a pulse of 7ft swell from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds. It’s a short-period swell, so it’s gonna be a bit crumbly and not the most powerful, but the wind is light from the ENE, keeping it clean. The combined energy hits 397 (moderate), so there’s enough push for a fun session. By Friday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 8ft from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds and a huge energy reading of 1123 (moderate to strong). That’s a proper spike, but the wind swings light cross-onshore from the ESE, which will put a little bump on the face. It’s still the best looking day of the entire forecast. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Saturday the 12th still has size – 7ft in the morning from the SE, period 8 seconds – but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the E, which will chop it up. The energy drops to 800 (moderate). It’s a step down in quality.

After that, the swell fades fast. Sunday the 13th through to the end of the forecast window sees the swell drop below 5ft, with the wind mostly cross or cross-off, and the energy readings are tiny. It’s flatter than a pancake by the 15th. There’s a tiny flicker on the morning of Thursday the 17th with 5ft from the SE, but the period is only 6 seconds and the conditions are described as ordinary. Not worth getting excited about.

So, the standout is without a doubt Friday the 11th. Morning session for the cleanest conditions, afternoon for the biggest size, but you’ll take the clean morning. Crowds? Suicide Cliffs is often busy, so expect company.

Rusty, out.

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.
