The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same downer in imperial. We’re looking at Suicides, and it’s the same story – a reef break that should be pumping, but mother nature is not playing ball. The wind is just ruining what could be a solid run of swell. For the next couple of weeks, don’t get your hopes up for a clean wave. It’s a classic case of the numbers looking good on paper, but the reality is a choppy mess.
Sunday morning on the 2nd of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell out of the WNW, with a 9-second period. Energy is moderate (148). No issue there. But that northerly wind of 15 km/h is making it ugly. Water temp is 73°F, average for this time of year. It’s just poor surf conditions from the get-go.
From Sunday afternoon all the way to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a rough patch. The swell builds, reaching about 5ft on Thursday the 6th, with energy climbing into the 280s. The wind stays a nasty cross-onshore from the N and NNE, blowing 20 to 30 km/h, turning the surface into a lumpy mess. Even when the wind is ‘on’ on the 8th and 9th, the conditions aren’t cleaning up. It’s a total washout for a decent surf.
Heading into the second week, from Monday the 10th onwards, it’s the same old tune. Swell holds between 3ft and 5ft, period between 7 and 9 seconds. Energy stays moderate to strong. But the wind just won’t let up. It’s a constant cross-onshore, keeping the water choppy. The morning of the 13th has a brief ‘on’ wind call, but it’s still poor. By Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th, the wind eases a bit to 15-20 km/h from the N and NNW, but it’s still cross-onshore or just ‘on’, and the waves are still not clean.
So, for the whole 16-day window, the wind is the killer. The swell is there, but the quality is shot. With this persistent cross-onshore flow over a reef break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this setup is better for kite surfing than actual surfing. There’s no one or two standout days here – it’s a long stretch of poor conditions.
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.
