The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The predominant swell is coming from the north with a bit of a cross-onshore bite to the wind, and that’s just killing the quality at the local reef. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions before anything even gets close to rideable.
The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 1st through to the morning of Saturday the 13th is a brutal run of ‘poor surf conditions’ – the wind is either a fresh cross-onshore or a moderate cross-onshore, and the wave energy is all over the shop. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 75°, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at lumpy, choppy lines. The combined energy is weak, barely breaking 100 (291) on the first day, and it stays in the doldrums for a week.
There’s a glimmer of life on the morning of Saturday the 13th. The conditions finally upgrade from ‘poor’ to ‘marginal’ – the swell is up to 5 ft from the north, the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is light from the north, so it’s a light cross-onshore. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 392, but it’s still a marginal call. It might be worth a paddle if you’re desperate, but it’s not something I’d get excited about. The next day, Monday the 14th morning, also gets a ‘marginal’ nod with a 4 ft north swell and a light offshore from the NNW, but again, the combined energy is moderate at 388, and it’s a one-off.
Honestly, the whole period is a bust. There’s no standout session, no clean window with decent swell. The reef needs a proper clean offshore and a better swell direction, and we just aren’t getting it. The only real highlight is that the water is a bit warmer than usual, but that’s not much of a consolation.
Rusty out.

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.
