The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Suicides is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the conditions are just not playing ball for a decent paddle. Every single entry in the forecast is marked as "poor surf conditions," so there’s no standout day to get excited about. The wind is locked in from the north, blowing cross-onshore or onshore for the whole stretch, which is chopping everything up. It’s a real bummer.
From Friday the 7th of August right through to Saturday the 22nd of August, the story is the same: messy, lumpy, and choppy. The swell is coming from the north, but it’s fighting against the wind. We start with a small 2ft to 2ft swell on the Friday, with a combined energy of 173 to 182 (moderate), but it’s already cross-onshore and choppy. That trend just continues. Through the weekend and into the next week, the swell bumps up to around 4ft to 5ft, with the energy kicking up into the 200 to 350 range (moderate to strong), but again, the wind is a mess. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real grunt or shape to the waves – just windswell junk.
There’s a slight flicker of hope on that Friday the 14th of August morning, with a light breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and fairly choppy, so it’s not the clean session you’re after. The swell is 4ft from the north with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy is 202 (moderate). It’s the best of a bad lot, but it’s barely a mention.
For a spot like Suicides, a reef break that’s exposed and consistent, this is a long stretch of poor quality. The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. With the wind and chop being so relentless, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no window for clean waves.
There is a real gap here – no good surf on offer for the full 16 days. It’s a blank run, and for this area, it’s a normal part of the pattern when the trades set in. We just have to wait for the wind to swing around.
Rusty.

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.
