The Lowdown

Oi, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – lookin' at the 16-day window for Suicides, it's a tough stretch. The overall pattern is dominated by persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds from the north and north-northeast. That means choppy, lumpy, and generally poor conditions are the story, day after day. There's a real gap of no good surf right from the start, with the first few days offering nothing but cross-onshore chop and weak energy.

The water's sitting at 74°F – that's about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a touch on the balmy side, but nothing crazy.

We kick off on Friday, August 14th, with a 4ft north swell, but it's a short-period 7-second windswell with a cross-onshore NNE breeze at 16 mph. The combined energy is weak at 219, and the wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." It's a no-go. This same pattern of cross-onshore, choppy, and poor conditions holds through the weekend and into the next week. Saturday (August 15th) and Sunday (August 16th) are the same story – small, short-period swell with rubbish wind.

Monday, August 17th, offers a slight shift in the afternoon with the wind turning onshore from the NW, but it's still a weak 3ft north swell (172 energy). The conditions are still rated poor. We see a bit of a spike in the swell size from the 22nd of August onwards, with heights reaching 5ft to 6ft, and the combined energy jumps into the moderate range (values like 323, 496, 420). But the wind is still a problem – fresh cross-onshore breezes from the NNE at 19-22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The period stays short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so it's just windswell junk.

The best of a bad lot might be the afternoon of Monday, August 17th, and a few windows from August 26th onwards, when the wind goes onshore from the NW or NNW. Still, the swell is averaging 5ft to 6ft from the north with a short period, and the wave comments are all "poor surf conditions." There's no standout. The closer we get to the end of the window, on August 29th, the swell direction swings to the WNW and NW with a much longer period of 12-14 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. But the wind is still a fresh onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell height drops to just 2ft. The energy is still moderate (305 and 241), but it's too small and blown out to be worth a paddle.

Honestly, with the constant onshore northerly winds and short-period chop, the setup at Suicides looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period. The only real standouts? There aren't any. This is a blank run for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, you're better off finding something else to do for a couple of weeks.

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.
