The Lowdown
Alright, grab a cold one and listen up. It's Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one to write. We're looking at Suicides for the next 16 days, and honestly, it's a bit of a bleak stretch.
We're looking at a solid block of nothing. From Sunday, the 9th of August, all the way through to the end of the month, this spot is locked in a pattern of poor surf conditions. The only swell coming in is from the north, around 3 ft to 4.5 ft, but it's gutless. The period is short—mostly 6 to 8 seconds—so it's just messy, wind-chopped junk. The wind is a constant cross-onshore from the north or north-northeast, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. It's going to be a choppy, lumpy, blown-out mess day after day. The combined wave energy is moderate, but the wind is ruining any chance of a clean face. There's no standout session here. None. The wind does briefly go onshore near the end of the second week, but that doesn't clean it up either.
Mid-week, around the 17th and 18th, the swell drops even further to 2.5 ft – 3.5 ft, and the energy dips, which is genuinely weak. That's just flat and choppy. The only little flicker of hope is way out on the 24th of August, Monday morning, where the swell period stretches to 10 seconds and the energy jumps. But the swell is still from the north, the wind is still cross-onshore, and the height is 4 ft. It's a maybe, but a long-range maybe. The forecast is less certain that far out, so don't hold your breath.
Suicides is a consistent reef that can handle a good swell, and it's an advanced wave. On a good day, it's a gem. But this isn't that day, or that week, or that fortnight. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so that's not a saving grace. For a spot that gets crowded sometimes, it might actually be quiet because nobody will be out there in this slop. If you're desperate, you could paddle out, but it's going to be more of a fight than a fun session. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.

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.
