The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s call it how it is. Suicides is looking pretty bleak for the whole 16 days. Swell’s coming from the north, but the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore from the north or north-northeast, which blows straight into the face of this reef. It’s an advanced spot that needs a clean offshore from the SSE, and we ain’t seeing any of that. Water’s sitting at 74°F, about 2°F warmer than the usual, so it’s a bit bath-like for this time of year.
Right from Tuesday the 11th of August, no dice. Swell heights are 3 ft to 5 ft, period short from 5 to 8 seconds, and the energy is weak to moderate, running from 139 to 300. But that wind – moderate breeze, cross-onshore chop. Every session is rated as poor with a score of zero. Don’t bother.
Through the middle of the week, like the 14th and 15th, the swell hits 5 ft on Saturday morning with energy at 300, but period’s still only 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. Choppy and lumpy.
Now, the second week brings a bit more hope. By Monday the 17th into Tuesday the 18th, the period climbs to 8 and 9 seconds, and the wind turns onshore but lighter at times – especially Tuesday morning with a light breeze from the NNW. Still, the conditions are labeled as poor.
The only window I’d even squint at is around Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of August, about a week and a half out. Friday morning we get 5 ft swell from the north, 9-second period, and energy jumps to 406 – solid moderate energy. Wind is onshore from the north at 16 mph, so not clean, but if it eases, there could be a few. Saturday the 22nd sees swell at 6 ft, period 8 to 9 seconds, energy at 460 and 491, but the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph from the north, cross-onshore or onshore. That’s gonna be a lumpy, windy mess. Only for experts who want a beating.
After that, it fades fast. From the 24th to the 26th, swell drops to 3 ft to 5 ft, period back to 8 seconds, energy down. Wind stays fresh and cross-onshore.
Bottom line: 16 days, no good surf. Northerly winds ruin it the whole time. Suicides needs that SSE offshore, and it’s just not happening. Tough one.

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.
