Suicides Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Suicides.

Alright, this stretch is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions before we finally get some windows where the wind and swell line up. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no drama there.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t come until Monday the 14th of September. The morning is looking glassy with a light north wind and a small NNW groundswell pushing in at 2ft and a period of 13 seconds. That’s a long period for such a small wave, meaning clean little lines but not much push. The combined energy is moderate at 207. It’s not going to be a standout, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, it’s the first surfable window.

We then go through a rough patch from Monday afternoon right through to Saturday the 19th. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays weak and messy. The energy values are all over the place, but the quality is consistently poor.

Now, Sunday the 20th of September brings a morning session that’s worth setting the alarm for. A light south offshore breeze, clean conditions, and a NNW groundswell at 2ft with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is strong at 382. Suicides is a reef break, so those long-period lines should wrap in nicely. This is the first true standout, but it’s small.

Monday the 21st has another clean morning with a light cross-offshore east wind and a 2ft NNW swell at 12 seconds. Not huge, but clean. The energy is moderate at 224.

Then, Tuesday the 22nd of September – this is the pick of the whole outlook. The morning is glassy, with a light ENE breeze, and a 4ft NNW groundswell at 13 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 533. That’s a good solid reef wave, and with no wind, it’s going to be smooth. This is the session to aim for.

After Tuesday, it falls away again. Winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell drops back. There’s a small window on Sunday the 27th of September with a glassy morning and a tiny 1ft NNW groundswell at a very long 17 seconds. Energy is moderate at 210, but it’s barely enough to ride.

Monday the 28th of September has a bigger pulse of 4ft NNW groundswell at 15 seconds, with combined energy up at 632. The wind is cross-shore and light in the morning, but the conditions are only marginal. There’s potential, but it’s not clean.

So, the standout is Tuesday the 22nd of September, morning at Suicides. Clean, glassy, and a solid reef swell. Sunday the 20th is a good runner-up for a smaller, clean session.

Rusty.
