The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let’s look at Suicides. I’m not gonna lie—this is a flat-out dud. We’ve got a 16-day window with zero good surf. Not a single recommendation. The pattern is locked in with a north to north-northeast wind, blowing 12 to 19 mph, and it’s either cross-onshore or directly onshore. That’s going to keep the surface choppy and lumpy the whole time.
Swell is weak, coming from the north at 2 to 5 feet, with periods mostly 6 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is low to moderate, between 130 and 298. Every single entry says “poor surf conditions”—that’s a clean sweep of zero scores.
First break is Suicides (reef). It’s a consistent spot, best with a NNW swell. The water is 73.8°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year—a touch warmer than normal, but nothing wild. The wind is the killer. With this constant north wind, it’s more of a kiteboarding setup than a paddle surf spot. There’s no point waiting for a change.
Around the 18th to 19th of August, the swell might bump to 5 feet with an 8-second period, but the wind is still blowing. The wind finally drops to 6 to 9 mph on the 20th and 21st, but the swell shrinks back to 3 feet. It’s all just messy. No standout days, no hidden gems. This kind of blank run is normal for the area when the wind locks in.
Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total washout.

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.
