The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. This is a tough one for Suicides. Over the next 16 days, I don’t see a single session worth paddling out for. The whole thing is a bust.
It starts on Monday, July 27th. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the north, but it’s a short-period 8-second wind swell, and the wind is howling at 15 mph from the north, cross-onshore. It’s choppy, junk, and the scores are flat zero. That’s the pattern for the whole first week. Every day from Monday the 27th through Sunday, August 2nd, it’s the same deal: north to north-northeast winds, 12 to 15 mph, cross-onshore, with waves between 3 ft and 5 ft. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, bouncing between 76 and 243—nothing to get worked up about. The water temp is 72°, which is normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze, but that’s the only bright spot.
The second week is no better. Monday, August 3rd through Sunday, August 9th, the wind stays stuck from the north or north-northeast, mostly cross-onshore, and the swell height ticks up a bit—4 ft to 6 ft—but the period is still short, 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy gets stronger, hitting 347 on the 4th and 378 on the 8th, but it’s all wind-driven slop. By Sunday the 9th, the wind is blowing 22 mph, making it lumpy and nasty. This isn’t surfable. With that much wind and that poor quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The last two days, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August, bring the biggest swell of the period—6 ft to 7 ft from the north, with combined energy up to 636. That’s a lot of power, but the wind is still 18 mph cross-onshore, so it’s a mess. Too big for beginners, and even for experts, it’s just a bumpy, ugly mess.
So here’s the truth: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. None. Suicides is a consistent reef break that usually fires, but the wind is just not playing ball. It’s a dry spell, and for this area, that’s a bit unusual—but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, hang the board up.

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.
