The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead. For the first week and a half, there's just nothing to get excited about. The wind is howling out of the north and north-northeast most days, slapping the surface into a choppy, lumpy mess. The swell is tiny and weak, period is short, and the conditions are just plain poor. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there. We’re basically looking at a blank run from now until at least the 22nd of July. It’s a tough one, but it’s not unusual for this spot to have a quiet spell.
Now, the picture starts to change around the 23rd of July, Thursday morning. We finally see a jump in the swell, with a cleaner 6 ft from the north, and a period of 8 seconds. The wind swings around to the north-northwest and goes light, giving us that clean, offshore texture we've been craving. The wave energy is really ramping up too, hitting a strong 375 (combined energy). This is the standout of the whole forecast. For a few days around that time, including the 24th and into the weekend, the swell holds size and the wind looks far more manageable. We’re talking 5 ft to 6 ft north swell with clean conditions. Because it's a reef break, that longer-period swell will set up nicely. The water is sitting at a comfortable 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only real window is centered on the 23rd. For a solid Thursday morning session, the forecast at Suicides is about as good as it gets. 6 ft of north swell, offshore wind from the NNW, and a solid 8-second period. That’s the call. The weekend after that holds decent size, but the wind starts to get a bit cross-onshore again, so it won't be as clean. The 23rd is the day to be in the water.
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.
