The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local patch.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim run shaping up. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The wind is just relentless, coming from the north and north-northeast almost every day, keeping a cross-onshore chop on the surface. For a reef break like Suicides, which needs clean conditions to really shine, this is a total bust. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year—a nice touch for a swim, but not much else.
Starting from Tuesday, 28 July, right through the first week, we’ve got nothing but poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, around 3 ft to 4 ft, with a short, weak period of 5 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 135 at the start and only reaching moderate levels (313) by Friday, 31 July, but it’s all messy. The wind doesn’t let up, staying a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 12 to 16 mph, making it choppy and unrideable. Even as we push into the first week of August, the story doesn’t change—still poor surf, still cross-onshore winds.
Moving into the second week, from Monday, 5 August, we start to see the swell size creeping up. By Monday, 10 August, we’re looking at a solid 7 ft from the north, and the combined energy ramps up strong (537 to 544). But don’t get excited. The wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is still a short 8 seconds. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves will be lumpy, blown-out, and just not worth the paddle out. This continues right through to Wednesday, 12 August, with the wind even picking up to a fresh 19 mph on Wednesday afternoon.
So, the bottom line: there are zero standout days. No clean windows, no glassy morning, no long-period groundswell. It’s just a long, frustrating stretch of poor conditions. The reef is getting hammered by onshore wind. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a rogue wave, but honestly, save your energy. This is a blank run for the area.
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.
