The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this one down.
First up, the water temp at Suicides is 74°F. With an anomaly of 2°F warmer than average, it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice.
Right, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window, and it’s a bit of a grim stretch for Suicides. The swell never really gets going with a clean, decent wave. The best waves of the period are going to be for the experts only, but even then, it's not a pretty picture. The only sliver of decent sized, longer-period swell pops up on the 23rd of August. Sunday morning sees a groundswell from the WNW with a very long period of 18 seconds, pushing the combined energy up into a solid 379 bracket. The swell height is only 2ft, but with that period it will have plenty of push. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, which will keep it fairly choppy, but it's the best the run has. If you’re a local who knows how to read a reef, that’s your dawn dash. The afternoon is similar but with an onshore wind, so less ideal.
However, for the vast majority of the forecast, from now until the end of the 25th, it’s pretty much all "poor surf conditions." We are stuck with a constant cross-onshore or onshore breeze, mostly from the north, which is not the optimum direction for this spot. The swell stays small and weak, with short periods often below 8 seconds. The combined energy is mostly two-digit or low three-digit values, meaning weak to moderate wave energy. It’s not exciting.
And here’s the thing. For the swell on the 23rd that has that very long period, at a beach break like this it can break a bit too straight and fat. This kind of swell is best saved for a point or reef break that can handle the length. As it stands, the whole setup looks like it might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Not much to get the heart racing here, folks.
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.
