Table - best surf conditions forecast for Suicides over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch ahead at Suicides, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough watch. The whole 16-day window is littered with onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the wave quality is just not there. There’s no real standout session, and the forecasts are all showing poor surf conditions, so I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft windswell from the north with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s pure chop. Water temp is sitting at a nice 72°, which is about average for this time of year, but the wind is on it from the north at 9 mph, so it’s blown out. Thursday and Friday don’t get any better; the swell stays around 3ft, and the wind picks up to 12-16 mph from the north and NNW, so it’s messy. Saturday, July 11th, the swell drops to 1ft to 1ft, and we’ve got that cross-onshore wind again. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Now, into the second half of the first week, things start to look a bit more energetic, but not in a good way for us. Sunday, July 12th, we see a pulse of longer-period swell – 11 seconds from the NNW – and the combined energy jumps to 146 (moderate), with the swell height hitting 3ft in the afternoon. But the wind is still cross-onshore from the north at 12 mph, so it’s going to be bumpy and ropy. Monday, July 13th, the swell builds to 4ft, and the energy is up at 183, but it’s the same story: cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. This pattern just keeps repeating.
The second week is where we get some size, but it’s still not clean. On Thursday, July 16th, the swell hits 6ft with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 290 (moderate). That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s from the north with a cross-onshore wind at 19 mph. For a reef break like Suicides, that’s going to be a washing machine. By Saturday, July 18th, the swell is holding at 5ft, and the energy is up to 604 (strong), but the wind is still fresh cross-onshore. This is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, honestly. The waves are there, but the quality is rotten.
We get a slight reprieve around Monday, July 20th, when the wind swings back to onshore from the north, but the swell has dropped to 3ft. It’s still not great, and the energy is down to 131. The last few days of the window, July 22nd and 23rd, we see the swell drop to 2ft-3ft, with cross-onshore winds picking up to 22 mph on the 23rd. That’s just a blowout.
So, the hard truth: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window for Suicides. The forecast is consistent in its poorness – the wind is always wrong, and the swell isn’t organised. A blank run like this is a bit more normal for a spot that’s exposed to the north, but it still stings. Don’t hang your boards up yet, though – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
