The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way.
It’s a tough stretch ahead for Suicides. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a desert. For over a week straight, from Wednesday the 19th all the way through to Tuesday the 1st of September, every session gets flagged as "poor surf conditions." There is nothing worth paddling out for consistently. That’s a long, frustrating gap.
The first hint of something different pops up on Wednesday morning, September the 2nd. A long-period groundswell rolls in from the N at 6ft, with a period hitting 12 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 1119 (moderate to strong energy). The problem is that even with that solid pulse, the wind is still a cross-onshore breeze from the NNE at 12 mph. It’s gonna be choppy, so it's only a "marginal" call at best. For a spot like Suicides, which needs clean conditions, this wind direction really stuffs it up.
Even with the bigger swell on the 2nd hitting 6ft, it’s still messy. There’s just no period in this outlook where the wind lines up offshore for this break. Suicides needs a proper window of clean, glassy conditions to shine, and we’re not getting it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t matter much when the surf is this blown out.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a splash, the morning of the 2nd of September is the only real question mark. But I’d be looking elsewhere. This stretch looks more interesting for the kite crew than anyone paddling a surfboard. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things might change, but right now, it’s not pretty.
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.
