The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our little corner of the world.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast for the next 16 days is a real heartbreaker. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions across the board, starting now and stretching all the way into early August. The only break on the radar is Suicides, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the swell, but it’s getting hammered by a persistent cross-onshore wind that’s gonna keep things lumpy and messy. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendation, as the forecast is just flat-out poor day after day.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no shock there, but the wind is the real story. It’s gonna be a grind.
Let’s walk through it. Starting Monday, July 20th, we’ve got a small 5 ft swell from the NNE, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-onshore. Combined energy is a weak 227, and the conditions are just poor. This pattern holds through the week – the swell bumps up a bit, but the wind stays nasty. By Friday, July 24th, the swell is 6 ft from the north, period creeps up to 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate (378), but that fresh cross-onshore wind is still ruining it.
The first weekend (July 25-26) looks a bit bigger, with 7 ft to 7 ft north swell and periods up to 9 seconds. The energy is strong, hitting 653 on Sunday morning, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore. For a reef break, this could be a bit of a mess. The size is getting into that zone where it’s not beginner-friendly, but the wind is just too strong for it to be any good for a proper session.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Monday, July 27th, when the wind shifts to a moderate onshore from the NNW in the afternoon. The swell is 6 ft from the north with a moderate 564 energy, but the wind is still onshore, not offshore. It’s still poor.
The second week sees the wind ease a little, but it’s still cross-onshore or onshore. By Thursday, July 30th, there’s a moderate 5 ft swell from the north with a decent 9-second period, and the energy is moderate (401). The wind is a moderate onshore, but it’s still not clean. The best of the bunch might be on Saturday, August 1st, when the swell drops to 4 ft and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore. The energy is low (208), but the wind is lighter, so it might be the least lumpy of the whole run. For a reef break, that’s about the only window where a longboarder might find something fun, but it’s not a standout.
The period ends on Monday, August 3rd, with a 6 ft north swell building to 7 ft on Tuesday, with energy climbing to 904. The wind is still fresh and cross-onshore, and the conditions are poor. It’s just not happening.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The best option, if you’re desperate, is the Saturday morning of August 1st with the lightest wind, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off waxing your board and waiting for a proper swell window. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts – it can’t stay this bad forever.
Stay frothy,
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.
