The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you – it’s not looking great for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid 16-day block of surf on tap, but the quality is the problem. For the whole run, it’s all "poor surf conditions." There are no standouts. Every day is a battle with the wind.

The first decent push of swell arrives Sunday afternoon, the 23rd of August, with a 4ft swell from the NNW. The combined energy jumps way up to 823 (moderate to strong energy), and the period is a nice 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. But here’s the kicker: the wind is onshore from the NNW at 12 mph. It’s not cross-on, it’s straight onshore, making it a messy, choppy mess. It’s still the best-looking wave energy of the whole forecast, but you’ll be surfing whitecaps.

Monday the 24th of August morning is the biggest clean-up set, with a 6ft NNW swell at 12 seconds and strong wave energy (959). But again, it’s a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the north at 12 mph, which will turn it into a lumpy, cross-onshore slop. This is solidly in the "too big for beginners" but "okay for experienced" zone, if the wind wasn't ruining it.

By Saturday the 29th of August, we see another pulse: 7ft from the north (10 seconds) and combined energy of 926. The wind is still a fresh cross-onshore from the NNE at 19 mph. This is getting into expert-only territory for size, and with that wind, it’s going to be an absolute battle. Honestly, with that setup of significant swell, poor quality, and strong cross-wind at a break called Suicides, this looks way more interesting for kitesurfing than paddle surfing. You’d need a big board and even bigger patience.

The water temperature, as of the first data on the 22nd of August, is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a little nice detail, but it’s wasted on this blown-out forecast.

From the 3rd of September onward, the swell drops right off, with waves barely hitting 3ft to 4ft and periods of 7-8 seconds. The combined energy falls back to 135 or so. It's flat-ish and still cross-onshore.

To be clear: there are waves every day on paper. But the report is consistent: "poor surf conditions." I wouldn’t be getting excited about a single window in this outlook. The best bet, if you’re desperate, would be the Sunday afternoon the 23rd when the longer-period swell arrives, hoping the wind backs off a bit, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. This is a rough stretch for paddle surfing.

Rusty.

Information about the Suicides Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Suicides provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Suicides can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Suicides 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 (Suicides) 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 Suicides 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.
