The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I'm gonna level with you straight up. Looking at what's on the table for the next 16 days, it's a grim stretch for the paddle crew at Suicides. We've got a solid reef break here, exposed to the swell, and it's a consistent spot that usually handles a bit of size, but the wind gods are just not playing ball. The whole first week is a write-off.
From Tuesday the 8th of September right through to the Monday the 14th, it's a relentless onslaught of cross-onshore and onshore winds. The swell is there, but it's a mess. Wednesday the 9th has a 4ft, 7 second windswell, but it's chopped to bits by a 16 mph NNE breeze. The combined energy is weak to moderate, hitting 193, but it's just not rideable. Saturday the 12th sees the swell size bump up to 6ft with a moderate combined energy of 542, but the wind is still a strong cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, blown-out disaster. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfer's wave.
There's a brief glimmer on Sunday the 13th morning – the wind drops to a light cross-shore, but the swell is a weak 4ft at 8 seconds and the combined energy is only 207. The guidance calls it "marginal," and honestly, for a spot like this, it's a gamble. You might get a couple of close-outs.
Then from Monday the 14th, it's back to the same story: persistent cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. The waves are small, short-period, and weak. The energy stays in the low to mid hundreds, nothing to get excited about.
Now, here's the kicker. The real stand-out, but it's a long-range tease. On Tuesday the 22nd of September, the charts show a massive pulse of energy. The swell jumps to 4ft, but the period is a very long 16 seconds, with a combined energy of 710. That's a serious groundswell. The problem is, the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph. It's a heartbreaking situation. The following day, Wednesday the 23rd, has a similar story: 5ft of swell from the NNW at 14 seconds, with a strong energy of 714, but again, the wind is up. This is a pattern that usually delivers perfect waves here, but the wind is the enemy. It's a promise that might not be delivered.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a total loss. The only window of hope is that long-range pulse around the 22nd and 23rd of September, but it's a long way off and the wind forecast is a major concern. For now, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
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.
