The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at Suicides, a solid reef break that’s exposed and consistent, and it’s the only game in town right now. The problem is the wind. For the entire 16-day run, we’re stuck with a persistent cross-onshore flow from the north, sometimes a fresh breeze, and it’s just chopping everything up. The swell is there, but it’s a short-period, messy northerly windswell, mostly between 6 and 9 seconds, and the quality just isn’t there. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the warm side, but that won’t help the waves.
The best we can hope for is a bit of a window on Monday the 17th of August. The wind swings offshore from the NNW for a stretch, with a 4ft swell from the north at 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (167), and with the wind going offshore, it should clean up the faces. It’s not a stand-out swell by any means, but it’s the cleanest we’re going to get. All the other days are just a battle with the cross-onshore wind. The crowd factor at Suicides is “sometimes,” so you might share it, but on a day like that, it’ll be worth it for a few clean ones.
Looking further out, the swell picks up a bit around the 25th and 26th of August, with wave heights bumping to 5ft, but the wind stays nasty from the NNE, keeping it lumpy and choppy. The energy gets strong (357 and 346), but it’s all wasted in the wind. Honestly, if you’re a kiter, this whole period looks more interesting than it does for a paddle surfer. It’s a blank run, plain and simple, but forecasts can change, so don’t write it off just yet.
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.
