The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with it.
We’re looking at a pretty flat run ahead for Suicides. This is a solid reef break that can handle a decent swell, but over this 16-day window the waves just aren't cooperating. The wind is a real issue too, blowing consistently from the north and northeast, which puts a strong cross-onshore chop on the face for most of the period. The water temp's sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Things start off on the 2nd of August with small, weak WNW swell of 2ft, a period around 9 seconds, and combined energy at just 147 (moderate). It's poor surf conditions and that's the story for the first week. We see a bit more energy mid-week around the 6th with some N swell hitting 4ft, but with a short period of 6 seconds and those relentless northerly winds, it's choppy and messy. Combined energy climbs to 225 (moderate) on the Thursday morning, but the quality is still terrible for a paddle surfer – this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing.
The second week rolls in with no real improvement. Swell heights hang around 3ft to 4ft, all from the north, but the period stays short (5-8 seconds). The wind stays strong, 15-19 mph from the north. By the 14th of August we get a bit more size, 5ft, and combined energy gets up into the high 200s (strong), but it's all north swell with a short period and a fresh cross-onshore wind creating lumpy conditions. It's not surfable for a relaxing session.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout window here. The best you can hope for is maybe a small, choppy session on the 7th or 8th, but you'd be fighting the wind all day. For a break this exposed and requiring an offshore from the SSE, this is a proper blank run for paddle surfing. It’s a tough stretch.

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.
