Suicides Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Look, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one for Suicides. We've got a long, dry spell of surf ahead. The whole sixteen-day outlook is a bit of a bummer, with the first few days looking particularly grim. For the first week, we're stuck with a fresh, lumpy cross-onshore wind that just won't let up, and the swell is a short-period, weak mess coming straight out of the north. It's a real shame because the water is sitting at a pleasant 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it. After that, the wind eases a little but the waves stay small and messy.

There's a glimmer, but it's a long way off. Around Monday the 14th of September, things get a little interesting. The wind drops to a light breeze and the swell direction swings around to the NNW with a period of 12-13 seconds – a proper groundswell. Even then, the height is tiny at just 2ft to 2ft, and the energy is still weak (205-265). The "marginal" call for that Monday afternoon is the closest we get to a highlight, but you'd need a longboard and a lot of patience for those weak lines. The best of a bad bunch is that Monday the 14th afternoon, when you've got a light breeze and a little bit of longer-period energy.

For the second week, forget it. The wind picks right back up again. We're looking at fresh cross-onshore winds for days on end, with wave heights barely cracking 2ft. The energy readings are weak and staying weak. The last few days of the period see the combined energy drop to just 50-100, which is barely a ripple.

Honestly, for this entire period, the conditions are so poor for surfing that this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session. We're talking consistent cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. There's nothing here that stands out for a surfer. Hang in there, the forecasts can change.

Rusty.
