The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I’ve gotta give you the straight talk on Suicides. This reef break is always exposed, and it loves a NNW swell. But man, this 16-day outlook is a tough one to swallow.
For the first week and a half, we’re stuck with a persistent northerly wind. It’s a moderate to fresh cross-onshore breeze almost every day, which is just ripping the surface apart. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 24°, but that’s the only good news.
On Tuesday, August 25th, we’ve got a 5-foot swell from the north with a 10-second period, but the wind is a cross-onshore NNE breeze at 15 mph, so it’s poor. The combined energy is moderate (462), but it’s a mess. Same story all week. By Friday the 28th, the swell hits 5 feet, but the wind is fresh and lumpy. Saturday the 29th brings the biggest swell of the window, 6 feet from the north with a long 11-second period, and the energy is strong (940). But again, the wind is cross-onshore and fresh. It’s a real shame, because the period is good, but it’s totally blown out.
We get a tiny break on Thursday, September 3rd. The morning shows a light breeze from the NNE at 6 mph, with a 6-foot north swell. The wind is still cross-on, but it’s light enough that it might clean up a little. The energy is moderate (327). It’s marginal, but it’s the closest thing to a window.
Then, on Friday, September 4th, we finally see a change. The morning has a cross-offshore wind from the east at 12 mph. This is the only time in the whole forecast the wind is offshore. The swell is 6 feet from the north, 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (418). The report says “clean.” This is the standout. It’s the only morning that looks genuinely fun on a reef. The swell direction is a touch north of the optimum NNW, but with offshore wind, it’ll be clean. For the advanced guys, this is the one to circle.
After that, it’s back to the northerly cross-onshore grind. The second week doesn’t offer much. Tuesday, September 8th has a 3-foot, long-period NNW swell (12 seconds) with an onshore wind, so it’s a no-go. The crowd at Suicides is “sometimes” busy, but that’s not a problem here.
For the vast majority of this 16-day run, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The one bright spot is Friday morning, September 4th. That’s your best bet. It’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. For the rest? It’s a waiting game.
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.
