The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I'm Rusty, and I've had a long look at what's coming down the line. It's a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We're talking about Suicides, a heavy-duty reef that only fires when conditions are spot on, and for this whole period, they just aren't.
The whole stretch starts on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a 6ft north swell, but a cross-onshore NNE wind at 25 km/h kills it. It's just messy. The combined energy is moderate (415), but the quality is rubbish. That's the story. Through the first week, the swell drops to 3ft or less with weak, short periods of 6 to 7 seconds. The wind sticks around from the north, either onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface blown out and choppy.
Into the second week, from the 7th to the 14th of September, we get a bit more size – up to 5ft to 5ft – and the energy gets moderate, hitting 480 on the 7th afternoon. But the swell direction is stubbornly north, and the wind never turns friendly. The data just keeps saying "poor surf conditions." On the 12th, the period jumps to 13 seconds, which screams proper groundswell, but the direction is NNW and the wind is still junk. On the 17th of September, the swell direction finally swings to a better west-northwest with a 12-second period, giving us a solid energy reading of 361. But again, the wind is a moderate onshore northerly, so it'll be blown out.
There are no standouts here. The whole 16-day run is a washout. The wind is locked in from the north, and the swell direction just doesn't match what Suicides needs to work. With that kind of size and constant onshore wind, this setup looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than for anyone trying to get a clean paddle-in wave.
Signing off,
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.
