The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about this stretch. For the whole 16 days from now, we’ve got nothing but poor surf. Every single session is a dud—no good options at all. That’s a gap from the start all the way to the end, so don’t bother rushing out.
The only spot in the mix is Suicides. It’s an advanced reef break that breaks consistently, but it’s set up for a NNW swell, and we’re stuck with north and north-northeast swells coming through—not a great match. The wave energy is moderate most of the time, with combined energy readings in the 100 to 300 range, but the quality is shot. The wind is cross-on shore from the north or north-northeast every day, keeping the surface choppy and lumpy. Water temp was around 73°F at the start, which is about normal for the season—the anomaly is only 1°F warmer than usual, so nothing crazy there.
Swell heights hang between 3ft and 4ft for the first week, with periods from 7 to 10 seconds—mostly windswell with a bit of longer-period energy mixed in. But that onshore breeze just trashes it. Even when the swell climbs to 5ft near the end of August, the wind picks up to a fresh breeze, cross-on, making it a lumpy mess. No standout day here, no clean glassy windows. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the constant chop and wind.
It’s a dead run—happens here sometimes. Forecasts can flip, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
