The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Suruga Bay has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first week is a write-off for paddle surfing. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or messy, and the energy is weak. We’re looking at a real flat spell from Monday the 27th of July right through to Sunday the 2nd of August. Don’t bother checking the cam. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 3rd of August. The swell builds a bit, with a long period groundswell from the ESE at 2 ft but it’s still cross-shore and messy. By Tuesday the 4th, we’re seeing some size – 4 ft from the ESE, period up to 18 seconds, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. The combined energy is climbing (955), and by Wednesday the 5th of August morning, it’s looking more interesting with 5 ft and a long period, but still a little cross-shore.
Now, Wednesday afternoon the 5th of August is one of the standouts. The swell hits 5 ft from the ESE, period 17 seconds, and the wind swings cross-offshore. That’s the kind of combo that can line up nicely at Suruga Bay. The combined energy is strong at 1366. This is for experienced surfers – that size with that period will have some push.
But the real gem is Thursday the 6th of August morning. Glassy conditions, 5 ft of ESE swell, with a period of 18 seconds. That is a solid, long-period groundswell with combined energy of 1567. The wind is glassy, so the surf will be clean. This is the pick of the forecast. For the experienced crew, this is your window. The only caveat is that long period groundswell can be a bit straight at a beach break, but if the tides line up, Suruga Bay can handle it. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
After that, the swell backs off through the 7th and 8th, dropping back to small, weak waves for the second week. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August mornings with glassy conditions and a little bit of energy from the ESE (77 and 119 combined energy), but the swell is only 1 ft to 2 ft. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Nothing else to get excited about after that.
So, overall: the first week is a total dud. The action is on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August. Thursday morning with the glassy 5 ft groundswell is the standout. For the rest, it’s quiet.
Rusty.

Information about the Suruga Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Suruga Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Suruga Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Suruga Bay 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 (Suruga Bay) 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 Suruga Bay 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.
Suruga Bay is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Sagara. If you plan a holiday in Shizuoka, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sagara. Sagara has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
