Table - best surf conditions forecast for Suicides over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here, calling it as I see it.
The next 16 days at Suicides are going to be a real test of patience. We've got a steady stream of swell, but the conditions are persistently poor, and that's a long, ugly stretch of choppy, bumpy water. The wind is almost always on it from the north or northeast, keeping things messy. There's no clean window, no standout day; it's just a long grind of onshore slop. The combined energy is weak to moderate throughout, starting at 177 and building, but it never delivers a clean wave.
The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 73°.
We kick off on Sunday, July 12th, with a 4ft swell from the NW, but a 9 mph cross-on breeze from the NNE makes it a choppy, poor surf call. This continues into Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, with small swell dropping to 2ft and persistent cross-on wind, energy falling as low as 67. Wednesday the 15th is tiny, with 2ft. Thursday the 16th sees a slight bump to 4ft, but it's from the NNE with a short period of 6 seconds, and still cross-on. The wind strengthens through the week, hitting 19 mph from the north on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th. The swell builds to 5ft on the 18th and 5ft on the 19th, but it's all wind-affected; the energy hits 344 on the 19th, but it's a lumpy, onshore mess.
The second week doesn't offer any relief. Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd of July, the swell holds around 5ft to 6ft, with energy climbing into the 400s, but that north wind stays on it, cross-on or onshore. The period stretches to 10 seconds by the 22nd, which is a bit better, but the wind ruins it. From Thursday the 23rd onwards, the swell fades back to 3ft to 4ft, and the wind stays cross-on or onshore from the north or northwest. The best energy reading comes on Saturday, July 25th afternoon at 450, but it's with a 13 mph cross-on breeze and a 4ft, 10-second N swell. It's still a poor surf call.
Overall, there isn't a single day where the wind and swell line up to give those clean, ridable waves. The consistent north wind is a killer for this exposed reef. For a spot that can handle some size, the whole run is a write-off for paddle surfing. If you're a kiter, the 5ft+ waves with strong north winds on the 18th and 19th might look interesting, but for a surfer, it's a long, hard wait.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
