The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, with the same story in feet and miles.
The first bit is a total dud. The next week or so is flat and messy, with nothing but *poor surf conditions* right through the end of July. Don't bother.
Then, a real pulse of energy shows up on Monday, August 3rd. The surf turns on from a glassy calm, with the combined energy hitting a solid moderate 247. That's a long-period groundswell from the SE, pushing about 2ft in the morning. But the real standout is Monday afternoon: glassy conditions, a 3ft swell from the SE with a very long 16-second period, and the energy is pumping at 569. That's a proper session.
Tuesday the 4th holds a bit more size, with the swell building to 4ft-4ft from the ESE, still with that long 16-second period. The energy is strong (711 and 911). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won't be as clean as Monday's glass.
Then it gets big. From Wednesday, August 5th, through to Saturday, August 8th, the swell cranks. We're looking at 6ft building to 8ft from the ESE, with very strong to powerful wave energy (1669 to 3991). The period is 17-18 seconds, so this is proper groundswell. Most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, adding some chop. For the average surfer, anything over 5ft is getting up there, and over 8ft is for the experts only. The Saturday morning (August 8th) looks the pick of the big days, with a cross-shore breeze and an 8ft swell.
By Sunday, August 9th, the swell is fading fast, dropping to 5ft, and it's back to small stuff by Monday. So, the week of August 3rd to the 9th is your window. The Monday afternoon (August 3rd) glassy session is the one to circle, and the Saturday morning (August 8th) for the big-wave crew. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it's got real potential.
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.
