The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be honest, this forecast is a total bummer. There are zero good surf days in the next 16 days, so I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
We’re stuck looking at Suicides, a reef break that needs the right conditions. But for the first week, from Friday, July 24th through Thursday, July 31st, we’re getting hammered by a relentless cross-onshore wind out of the NNE, blowing a fresh 19 to 22 mph. The swell is in the water, running from 6 ft up to 6 ft, but with that wind, every session is written off as "poor surf conditions." The wave energy is weak to moderate (317 to 112), and the period is short, under 8 seconds. It’s just messy, lumpy, and not worth the paddle. Water temp is about 72°, dead normal for this time of year.
Things look a bit different in August. On the 1st, the wind finally swings offshore from the NNW, but the swell drops to 3 ft with a long 12-second period. It’s a tease – moderate energy (309), but too small and too straight for this reef. Then Sunday the 2nd brings a spike: 5 ft to 6 ft from the NNW with a very long 13-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 883 to 970. It’s offshore too, but just a moderate breeze. If you’re an expert paddling out at Suicides on the 2nd, you might snag a few strong, clean ones. But the "poor surf conditions" call is still there, so I can’t sell it as a winner. After that, the swell fades to 4 ft and smaller through the second week, and the wind shifts back to a cross-onshore NNE. The whole 16-day window is a blank.
Suicides is a consistent break, but it’s fighting bad wind for too long. There’s nothing to recommend here. Keep your board in the car and wait for a change.
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.
