The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
To be straight with you, this 16-day window is a real tough one. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions day after day with no real standout windows. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 74°F, which is noticeable, but that’s about the only good news.
The swell hangs around north to northwest mostly, but the wind is a persistent problem. From Thursday the 13th right through to Saturday the 23rd, it’s cross-onshore or onshore almost every session, with moderate to fresh breezes keeping things choppy and lumpy. Swell heights sit between 2ft and 5ft, with periods mostly short (6 to 9 seconds) so there’s no real grunt or shape to it. Combined energy fluctuates mostly in the 100s, peaking at 272 on the morning of Saturday the 15th, so it’s weak to moderate energy at best.
The only break on the table is Suicides, a consistent reef break exposed to the north. It’s an advanced, serious wave, and even then, the wind just won't play ball. The optimum swell direction for Suicides is NNW, and we do see some pulses from that direction, but the onshore and cross-onshore winds ruin any chance of quality.
There is no single session that I’d be stoked to paddle out for – every single one scores a zero for surf quality. Even when the swell bumps up to 5ft on Friday the 28th, with combined energy hitting 426 (moderate to strong), the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. For a reef break, that’s just messy and dangerous.
Bottom line: if you’re looking for a clean wave here, you’re out of luck for the full 16 days. The stretch from August 13th to the 28th offers nothing worth getting wet for. This area is known to have blank runs like this, so it’s not unusual, but it sure is frustrating. No standouts. No hidden gems. Just wait for the next pattern shift.
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.
