The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Suicides.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell you – we’re in for a rough ride. From the start (Friday, August 28th) all the way through September 12th, there’s not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. That’s a solid 16-day dry spell.
The wind is the killer. A steady, nasty cross-onshore breeze from the north-northeast and north, blowing up to 35 km/h for the first week, just tears everything apart. Swell’s there, coming from the north, but it’s all lumpy, choppy mess. The first few days (August 28th to September 2nd) have some size – 5 to 7 ft – but with that wind, it’s a write-off. Wave energy is moderate to strong, but it’s wasted. Periods are short, 6 to 8 seconds, so no power.
From September 3rd, the wind eases a bit, turning more onshore from the NNW, but the swell drops fast. By September 5th, we’re down to 3 ft, and the energy is weak. There’s a little window on September 7th with a longer 12-second period and cleaner wind, but the swell is only about 3 ft – not enough to get stoked about.
After that, it’s tiny. September 10th through 12th are 1 ft to 3 ft, with light breezes, but the swell direction shifts to the west-northwest, which doesn’t suit this reef, and the energy is weak to very weak. Honestly, it’s a flat spell, more suited for a kayak than a surfboard.
There’s nothing to highlight as a standout. This is just one of those blank runs for Suicides – not uncommon here when the wind is wrong. Check back later, but for now, focus on something else.

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.
