The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local patch over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta say, it's a rough stretch ahead. The forecast is a long, drawn-out run of blue skies and northerly winds, and for a reef that loves a clean NNW swell, the wind is just never going to play nice. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with no real standout sessions, just a whole lot of cross-onshore chop and poor conditions.
The only spot on the radar is Suicides. This is an advanced, exposed reef break that needs a good clean swell to work. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort.
For the first week, from Friday the 4th right through to Thursday the 10th, the wind is a constant issue. It’s mostly from the N and NNE, blowing cross-onshore, which is going to turn any potential wave into a lumpy, choppy mess. Swell heights are tiny to small, between 2 ft and 5 ft, and the periods are short and weak. The swell energy is moderate at best, hitting a high of 484 (moderate wave energy) on Wednesday the 9th, but the wind is just too strong to make anything of it. The whole week is a write-off for a clean paddle.
The second week, from Saturday the 12th through to the end of the window on Saturday the 19th, the story doesn't change. The wind is still a persistent pest, mostly from the N and NNE, and the water is staying clean and clear. Swell heights hover around the 2 ft to 5 ft mark, with the odd bit of weak energy. The wind does look like it might ease off a touch on the 16th with a light breeze, but the swell is tiny.
There’s a brief moment on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th where the wind switches to "on" from the NNW, but it's blowing a fresh breeze at 15-18 mph. That’s going to be a full-on white-capped mess, and the period is only 7 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly.
The bottom line is, there’s no surfable period here. The swell direction is coming from the north, which is the wrong side of the compass for this break, and the wind is never under 9 mph and always onshore or cross-onshore. This is a classic case of a blank run for this area. Keep the board in the car, but don't take it out of the bag, because a change in the weather pattern is our only hope.
Rusty.

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.
