The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Suicides.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. The swell is gonna be there, sure, but the wind is just not playing ball. It’s a real shame because Suicides is a consistent reef break that usually handles a good swell, and it’s exposed to the north-northwest, which is the direction the swell is coming from. But with this constant cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess most of the time.
The water temperature is sitting at 72°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your butt off for nothing.
The first bit of action starts on the afternoon of July 27th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the north, but it’s a short period of 8 seconds and the wind is onshore from the north-northwest at 16 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate at 202, but with that wind, it’s a no-go. The forecast calls it "poor surf conditions," and I’m not gonna argue with that.
This pattern just keeps on repeating itself right through the end of July and into the first week of August. The swell hangs around in the 3ft to 5ft range, but the wind is always cross-onshore from the north or north-northeast, between 9 and 19 mph. It’s a constant battle with chop. The energy builds up a bit, hitting 222 on the afternoon of July 31st, but it doesn’t matter because the quality is just not there.
We get a bit of a bump in size around August 5th. The swell picks up to 5ft to 6ft from the north-northeast, still with a short period. The energy is climbing into the 300s, but again, the wind is cross-onshore. It’s the same old story.
From August 6th onward, the swell really starts to push. We’re seeing 6ft to 7ft waves from the north, with the energy jumping into the 500s and even up to 601 on August 11th. That’s a lot of water moving around. But here’s the kicker – the wind is still cross-onshore, and it’s getting stronger. By the 10th and 11th, we’re talking about a strong breeze at 25 mph, creating a "messy" and "lumpy" surface. The period is still short, around 8 to 9 seconds.
So, what’s the highlight? Honestly, there isn’t a true standout in this 16-day window. The swell is there, but the wind is relentless. If you’re an expert and you’re absolutely desperate, maybe August 5th or 6th might be worth a look, but you’d be surfing a cross-onshore, choppy, 6ft wave. It’s not going to be any kind of classic Suicides session.
This is a long stretch of poor quality. The forecast confidence is high because it’s so consistent, but consistently bad. If you’re a kite surfer, this cross-onshore wind and solid swell might actually look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass. Don’t hold your breath; the pattern is locked in for a while.
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.
