The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast for Suicides, but in feet and miles per hour, the way a lot of us still think.

Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough 16 days. There’s no good surf on offer. The whole stretch is a long, frustrating run of poor conditions, and the wind is the main villain.

We kick off Thursday the 20th with a tiny 2ft northerly swell, a short 8-second period, and a cross-on wind. The water temp is about normal for the season. The combined energy is weak (124), and it’s just choppy and ugly. That’s the theme for the next few days. Friday and Saturday the 21st and 22nd get up to 4ft, but the period drops to 6-7 seconds, and that cross-on breeze keeps ruining it. Saturday afternoon the wind goes straight onshore, which is even worse.

Sunday the 23rd sees a bit more size, around 3ft, with a better 10-second period, which gives a little hope. But the wind is still cross-on, and the conditions are poor. The energy is moderate now (224), but it’s not enough to save it.

Monday the 24th brings a bigger pulse – 6ft from the NNW with a solid 12-second period. That’s real groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to 792 – you can feel that power. But the wind is cranking cross-on at 12 mph, and the surf is still reported as poor. It’s a heartbreaker. That long period groundswell would be perfect for a reef like Suicides, but the wind is going to chop it to bits. This is the biggest energy of the whole forecast, and it’s a total waste.

After that, it’s just a slow, messy grind. The rest of August and into September, the swells bounce between 2ft and 7ft, mostly from the north or NNE, with periods between 6 and 10 seconds. The wind never lets up – cross-on, moderate to fresh breeze, 15 to 22 mph. The combined energy hits a few moderate spots, like 656 on the 1st of September, but the quality is always poor.

By the 4th of September, the swell is dropping back to 3ft with a weak 7-second period, and it’s still cross-on. The whole run is a bust. No good surf options in this 16-day window. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real dry spell. Honestly, if you’re still keen to get out, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The steady cross-on wind and decent swell energy would be a kite’s dream, but for a surfer, it’s a hard no.

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.
