The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
First up, the water is sitting at 75°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad thing to have on your side.
Honestly, I gotta level with you. The next two weeks? It’s a bit of a flat, windy mess for Suicides. This is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, but the wind is constantly coming from the wrong angles. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions starting from Thursday the 3rd, all the way through. The swell is there, but it’s almost all short-period windswell from the north, with periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds. That’s weak, choppy stuff. The combined energy never gets strong enough to save it, bouncing from a weak 125 up to a moderate 483, but the cross-onshore or onshore wind just guts it every time. The wind is a constant 15 to 30 km/h out of the north, northeast, or northwest, so it’s never clean.
There’s no real standout session here. The whole block is filled with "poor surf conditions" calls. Even the long-range window around the 14th sees a pulse of longer-period swell (15 seconds) from the NNW, which is a better direction for the reef, but it’s only 2 ft to 2 ft and gets hammered by a 20 km/h cross-onshore wind. That’s too small and too messy to get excited about.
For a spot that’s consistent and handles a fair bit of swell, this is a long stretch of nothing but frustration. The wind just won’t cooperate. While the swell energy gets up there on the 7th, 8th, and 9th, it’s all onshore junk. If you’re into kite surfing, that 5 ft to 5 ft with a 20 km/h cross-onshore might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for good waves at Suicides.
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.
