The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – it's a tough run ahead. I've looked over the numbers for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, there isn't a single window I can honestly recommend you paddle out. Every forecast slot is marked as poor surf conditions, so I'm not going to steer you into a session that's gonna leave you frustrated.
We start off with Wednesday afternoon the 15th of July. Suicides is showing a tiny 2 ft wave from the north, but that's being hammered by a 16 mph cross-on breeze from the northeast. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 73°, but with combined wave energy sitting at a weak 73, it's all chop and no push.
The pattern doesn't improve. We roll through Thursday the 16th and into the weekend. Swell heights bump up a little, hitting 3 ft to 4 ft from the north-northeast, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-on from the north or north-northeast at 16 to 19 mph. The combined energy climbs into the low-to-mid hundreds, but it doesn't matter because the surface is just lumpy and choppy. The period is short, too – only 6 to 7 seconds – so you're getting weak, wind-affected waves.
The second week, from around the 22nd of July right through to the 30th, the swell actually builds. We see heights going from 4 ft up to 6 ft, and the combined energy gets proper, hitting strong values between 253 and 644. But the problem remains the wind. It's a relentless north to north-northeast breeze, mostly at 19 to 22 mph, cranking up a cross-on mess. On the 27th of July (Monday) and the 28th (Tuesday), we're looking at 6 ft surf with a 9-second period, but it's still marred by a fresh, cross-on wind. With that much wind and those conditions, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the outlook is bleak. I don't have one standout session to point you toward. It's a long dry spell, and I'm sorry to say, there's not much to get excited about for a solid 16 days. The region just isn't cooperating.
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.

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.
