The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for our area, and honestly, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about in this 16-day window. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions, so we’ll be chewing the fat for a while before anything half-decent shows up.
The water’s sitting at 75° at Suicides, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice for a paddle, but that’s about where the good news ends. The whole first week is a write-off. From Monday the 31st of August right through to the 7th of September, it’s mostly fresh cross-onshore wind and lumpy, choppy surf. Swell heights stay between 3ft and 6ft, but the period is a short 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and gutless. The combined energy sits in the moderate range – between 93 and 418 – but the wind is just wrecking any potential. By the afternoon of the 3rd of September, we get a brief window of onshore wind from the NNW at 16 mph, but the swell’s already dropping to 4ft. Not worth the wetsuit.
A gap of over a week with absolutely no good surf. The 7th of September offers a pulse of longer-period groundswell – 12 seconds – but it’s only 3ft and the wind is cross-on from the N. The energy reading of 317 is decent, but the size is too small to do anything with at Suicides. The rest of the second week is more of the same: small, short-period swell and moderate onshore winds, with everything marked as “poor surf conditions.”
The only flicker of hope comes on the 15th of September – Tuesday morning. We finally see a window with glassy conditions: NNW wind at just 3 mph and an onshore direction. The swell is 4ft from the N at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 255. It’s only rated a 1 out of 10, but it’s the best we’ve got. The waves will be clean, but the size and period won’t blow your mind. If you’re desperate for a slide, it’s the only time the conditions might be borderline rideable. For a reef that’s consistent and advanced-level, this is a frustrating stretch.
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.
