The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it.
Look, I’ve been staring at this forecast for the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a tough one to swallow. Suicides is a reef break that knows how to handle a proper swell, but the wind just won’t play ball. We’ve got a solid sequence of swell coming through, but the wind is locked in from the north, hammering the place with a fresh cross-onshore breeze for the vast majority of the period. That means the surface is going to be lumpy, choppy, and just plain messy. The water temp is sitting about average for July, so nothing unusual there.
The first real surf on offer kicks off on Sunday the 19th, but it’s a write-off. Swell at 5 ft from the NNE, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 160. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine with a 19 mph cross-on wind. The whole first week, from the 19th through the 25th, is the same sad story: swell builds from 5 ft up to 7 ft, the period stretches to 8 seconds, but that wind never lets up. The energy climbs from weak to moderate (160 to 453), but it’s all for nothing. We’re looking at a solid 7 days of “poor surf conditions” with no break in the onshore wind. It’s a total bust.
Things start to get interesting around the 28th of July. The wind finally shifts to the NNW, turning onshore, but for the first time in a week, it’s not cross-on. The swell drops to 4 ft on the 28th afternoon, but with a period of 7 seconds, it’s not much to write home about. The energy is still moderate (246). But then, on the 30th of July, we get a glimmer of hope. The swell comes up to 6 ft from the north, the period stretches to a solid 10 seconds, and the wind holds from the NNW. That’s a groundswell pulse, and with 844 combined energy, it’s a strong, powerful push. The problem is, the wind is fresh at 19 mph, so it’s not clean, but it’s the best window we’ve got. The swell direction is a close match to the optimum (NNW), so the reef should handle it well. For the experienced crew, the morning of the 30th is the standout. Keep in mind that 6 ft with that period is solid, not for beginners.
The last few days, from the 1st of August onwards, the swell drops back to 4-5 ft, and the wind goes back to that cross-on NNE mess. It’s a bit of a whimper.
So, the pick of the litter is a single window: Thursday the 30th of July. The morning brings 6 ft of north swell at 10 seconds, with a moderate onshore breeze. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only time the wind and swell align even close to being surfable. The combined energy (844) tells you there’s plenty of water moving. It’s a reef, so those long-period groundswell lines will peel nicely. It’s strictly for the advanced crew though – 6 ft with that power is no joke. Crowds are likely, as it’s a consistent spot. For the rest of us, it’s a good week to clean the wax off your board and wait for the pattern to change.

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.
