The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Suicides. Honestly, I’ve been looking at this stretch and it’s a grim run for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but the first wave of decent conditions doesn’t show up until right at the end. For the first week and a half, it’s pretty much a write-off.

The issue is the wind. It’s locked in from the north, blowing cross-on or onshore pretty much every day, and it’s moderate to fresh. That means the surface is going to be choppy and lumpy, no good for a clean ride. The swell is there, but it’s all short-period, wind-driven stuff – periods mostly around 6 to 8 seconds. That’s not going to produce any real shape. The combined energy climbs from weak (144) up to moderate (400-700 late in the window), but it’s all messy because of the wind. For a reef break like Suicides, which is exposed to the north-northwest, the wind is just ruining it.

The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about 1° warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a touch warm.

Now, the best of a bad bunch. The highlight, if you can call it that, is the very end of the forecast. On the 18th of August – Tuesday morning and afternoon – the wind finally swings around to a more offshore direction from the north-northwest. The swell is coming in at 5 ft from the north-northwest, with a period of 9 seconds, so it’s got a bit more energy (348 combined energy). This is a stiff, clean offshore wind on a reef. That’s your one standout. It’s still a bit of a gamble this far out, but that’s the only window where the conditions align. The swell is moderate, the period is decent, and the wind will make it glassy. For a surfer who knows the reef, that’s worth a look.

But let’s be real: for the other 15 days, the wind is just trashing the place. The few times the swell gets over 6 ft (like the 15th of August), the cross-on wind is still there, and the period is short. It’s just a messy, lumpy grind. If you’re a kite surfer, there might be some fun to be had in that strong wind and lumpy water, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.

Most of the time, Suicides is a consistent spot, but this run is a clear example of how a bad wind direction can kill it. Stay patient.

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.
