The Lowdown
Alright, let me take a look at what's on offer here.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking grim for a proper surf. We've got a slow, small, and moody ocean for the most part. For the first week, from Sunday the 26th of July through to Friday the 1st of August, the swell is tiny and weak with hardly any energy to speak of. The best you'll find are some 1 ft to 3 ft swells, and while the wind does turn glassy a few times, the wave heights are just too small to get excited about. The tide might push through a little knee-high wave at times, but it's not worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 85°F, which is about average for this time of year.
There is a bit of a pulse showing for the 9th of August Sunday morning, with a 2 ft SW groundswell coming in with an 11-second period and moderate energy (74). But the wind is cross-shore, so it's not going to be clean. The afternoon picks up a 2 ft S swell with a 10-second period and moderate wave energy (154), but again, the onshore wind is going to chop it up. For the 10th of August Monday, we see similar energy (133) with an S swell, but the wind stays onshore and messy.
I can't recommend Suicide Cliffs here as a standout. The swell never gets above 3 ft, and the only day with a hint of decent period (11 seconds) is the 9th of August, but the wind's wrong. There are no real standouts in the whole window. The break is very consistent for holding what swell there is, and it's exposed to the SW, but the swell just isn't showing up in the right way for a proper session.
Honestly, this stretch looks more like a kiter's or a flat-water paddler's window. The wave energy is low, the swell heights are marginal, and the conditions are rarely clean enough to make the most of the small waves. For a surfer, it's a bit of a dead run. But don't lose heart – the break is consistent, and the forecasts can always change. You might get a sneaky glassy morning on a rising tide that turns a 1 ft wave into something rideable, but don't call in sick for it.

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.
