The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a rough start, my friends. We’re looking at a solid ten days with nothing worth paddling for. The wind is just relentless, blowing cross-on from the NNE and N, and it’s tearing everything up. The first real chance comes way out on the 24th of July, but before that, it’s a total write-off.
Suicides is the only break in the game. It’s a consistent, advanced reef, but for a week straight, the wind is a mess. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°, but that’s small comfort when you’re getting blown off your line.
The first week is all “poor surf conditions” with scores of 0. The combined swell energy is weak, barely hitting 130 on Friday the 17th, and it’s all short-period windswell from the wrong direction. It’s a no-go.
Then the tide turns. On Friday, July 24th, we get a morning window with the wind switching on from the NNW. That’s the ticket. The swell is 5 feet from the N with an 8-second period, so it’s not a monster, but the direction is right and the wind is clean. The energy is moderate (280). It’s your first chance of a clean wave.
The real highlight is the weekend of July 26th and 27th. The swell jumps to nearly 8 feet from the NNE with a 9-second period, and the energy gets strong, hitting 910 on Sunday morning. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is still cross-on, but at that size, Suicides can handle it. Just a heads up, 8 feet at a reef is strictly for experts. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so with a good swell, expect some company. That’s the best window of the whole forecast, but it’s a long way out, so keep it bookmarked.
Right now, there’s a ten-day hole of nothing. The first decent look is the 24th, but the real juice is the 26th and 27th. For the next week? Get the kite gear out, because this spot is looking more interesting for them than for us.
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.
