The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. It's a bit of a grim watch, to be honest. We're looking at the same stretch of coastline, focused on Suicides, for the next couple of weeks, and the news isn't great. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. There's no point sugar-coating it; we're looking at a long, blank run with zero decent surf on offer.
Right from the get-go, Tuesday the 18th of August, it's a no-go. We've got a light cross-onshore breeze messing up a weak little 3ft swell from the north. The energy is barely there (117), and the period's a short, gutless 8 seconds. It's just poor.
This pattern just repeats itself day after day. Through Wednesday and Thursday, the wind pipes up from the north, blowing cross-on or even straight onshore, making a mess of things. The swell stays small and weak, mostly around 3ft to 4ft, with a combined energy that never really gets out of the low hundreds. Every single session in the first week is rated as "poor surf conditions." By Friday the 21st and into the weekend, the wind is hanging in there at 12-15 mph from the north-northeast, and the swell tries to push up a little, hitting 5ft on Saturday the 22nd with energy climbing to 273, but it’s still a messy, choppy cross-onshore affair. Short period, poor quality.
The second week doesn't offer any relief. From Monday the 24th of August right through to the final entries on the 2nd of September, it's the same sad song. The wind actually gets stronger, becoming a "fresh breeze" from the north-northeast at 18-22 mph, making the surf lumpy and horrible. On Saturday the 29th of August, up around 5ft with 311 energy, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. Even when the swell nudges 6ft on Friday the 28th of August (368 energy), the onshore wind kills any chance of a decent wave. It's all just messy, wind-blown junk.
With nothing but poor conditions on offer and wind hammering the water all day every day, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for traditional paddle surfing. Honestly, there are no standouts here, not a single window worth paddling out for. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, put the board away and go do something else. You won't miss a thing.

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.
