The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the only spot that’s even on the radar. Let’s get straight into it, because it’s a grim couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’m looking at Suicides, and honestly, it’s a rough start. The whole first week is a write-off. From Friday the 4th right through to the 10th, we’ve got persistent cross-onshore winds and weak, choppy conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the period is short and weak. The wind is just killing any potential. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking triple digits on the best days. This is not a paddle-out situation; it’s a stay-on-the-beach-and-watch-the-riptide kind of stretch.
There’s a real gap in quality here. The first hint of a change comes around Monday the 7th, when the swell period starts to climb into the 12-second range, but it’s still plagued by cross-onshore winds and poor surf. The energy is moderate, hitting 341 and 362, but the wind keeps it messy. This pattern holds through Tuesday the 8th, with long-period swell but still poor conditions. It’s a tease.
We finally get a shift in the wind on Friday the 11th. The wind swings around to the NNW and goes offshore, which is a game-changer. The swell is 3ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (321). For the first time in the forecast, the surf looks clean. That Friday afternoon and into Saturday the 12th, with offshore winds holding, is the standout window. The swell drops a little to 2ft, but it’s still clean and rideable. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best we’re going to get.
The calm doesn’t last. Sunday the 13th sees the wind turning back to cross-onshore, and the conditions slip back to poor. The surf is small and choppy again. We get a few more offshore windows on the 15th and 16th, but the swell is tiny and the wind is often fresh, making it lumpy. The 16th and 17th have some long-period swell from the NW, with strong wave energy (up to 428 on the 16th afternoon), but the wind is onshore and fresh, so it’s a mess. That kind of long-period groundswell needs a river mouth or point to work its magic, and at a beach break, it’ll just close out or be a wind-blown disaster.
The final few days, from the 18th to the 19th, are more of the same: small, inconsistent, and mostly blown out. The combined energy drops back to weak numbers, in the 70s and 80s.
So, the standout is the brief window on Friday the 11th afternoon through Saturday the 12th. The water temp is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting around 75°F. That’s a nice bonus. But for the rest of the 16 days, it’s a real struggle. If you’re a kite surfer, the strong cross-onshore winds on the bigger days might be your jam, but for a paddle surfer, this is a long, flat, and frustrating stretch.

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.
