The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in. I’ve had a proper look at the charts for Suicide Cliffs, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch ahead. The surf forecast for the next 16 days looks pretty grim, with no real good options on the table. Let’s break it down.

The first few days are a real write-off. We’ve got a bit of swell hanging around, but it’s small and weak. For Sunday the 6th, you’re looking at a 3ft SSW windswell with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is only a weak 179, and while the wind is offshore from the north at 22 mph, the overall quality is just poor. The water’s warm at 84°, pretty average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf. Monday and Tuesday don’t get any better—tiny waves, 2ft or less, and still those poor conditions.

Honestly, the only thing that pops up a little is Saturday the 12th. There’s a pulse of swell coming through—10ft from the SE with a 10-second period. That’s some moderate wave energy in the water (1654 on the combined scale), but here’s the catch. The wind is a strong cross-shore from the east at 22 mph, making for lumpy, messy conditions. This size is probably only for the experts, and the quality is still just “marginal.” Not a day to get excited about. The following days, the swell drops right back off, and there’s nothing but small, weak, or flat surf through to the 21st. There’s a gap of several days with nothing worthwhile, especially from the 17th onwards, where we see zeros in the swell.

So, for this period, there are no standout days. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Saturday the 12th is the only one with any size, but with the onshore wind, this reef setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. For now, the forecast is a blank run, and that’s just how it goes sometimes at Suicide Cliffs.

Stay patient, keep your eye on the charts, and don’t force it.

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.
