The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with it – the outlook for this stretch is a total write-off. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, and honestly, there isn’t a single session worth paddling out for. The whole run is a blank.
The only spot on the radar is Suicides, a solid advanced reef break, and it’s consistent, which normally gets the blood pumping. But the wind and the swell are just not playing ball. For the entire first week, from Friday the 28th of August right through to the following Friday the 4th of September, we’re stuck with a fresh, cross-onshore breeze hammering the surface. The swell hangs between 5ft and 6ft, with mostly short-period stuff around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just lumpy, choppy, and messy. The wave energy is moderate at best, with readings like 218 or 396 in brackets. For a crew that knows this break, it’s heartbreaking to see it looking so average.
The water temp is sitting at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the waves are junk.
We slide into the second week, and things don’t get any better. The swell drops off hard from Saturday the 5th of September, going from 4ft down to a tiny 1ft by Monday the 7th. Even when a longer-period 12-second groundswell shows up on the 7th, it’s only 1ft – not enough to push a ripple. The energy drops into weak territory, down to 88 or 95 in brackets. The wind finally eases to a gentle breeze or lighter, sometimes going onshore, but with barely any swell to work with, you’re just looking at a flat, calm sea.
The very last days, around the 11th and 12th of September, see a little pulse of 5ft to 5ft northern swell pop up again, but it’s back to that short-period, moderate energy range (322 to 448 in brackets) with a moderate cross-onshore or onshore wind. Still no quality.
There are no standouts here. None. It’s a painful run of poor surf conditions right across the board. With the persistent onshore wind and the messy, lumpy surface, honestly, if you’re into kite surfing, this setup might look more interesting than paddling. For us surfers, it’s a hard pass.
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.
