Suruga Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Suruga Bay.

The next week and a half is mostly a write-off, unless you really love paddling around in junk. There’s a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind, rain, and generally small, weak swell that’s just not doing anything for us. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first real chance of something half-decent shows up on Monday the 7th of September. We’ve got a solid 10ft S swell rolling in by the morning, but it’s coming with a 10-second period and a light cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (2433), so there’s power, but with that wind direction, it’ll be a bit bumpy. The afternoon gets even bigger, pushing 12ft from the S with a cross-shore wind – that’s serious size, too big for beginners, and only for the experienced crew. The energy is very strong (3699), but the wind will make it tricky.

Tuesday the 8th is the real standout. The morning brings a drop to 5ft from the SSE with a 9-second period and glassy conditions. The water will be dead smooth, and the wave energy is moderate (473). This is the cleanest window in the whole run. The swell is super manageable, and the wind is off the cards – it’s going to be a beautiful, clean morning. The afternoon turns messy again with rain, so hit it early.

After that, it’s a long, grim run. Wednesday the 9th has a promising 7ft S swell in the morning with glassy conditions again, and that’s a good one (energy 714), but it’s quickly followed by a storm risk and a bumpy afternoon. From Thursday the 10th right through to the end of the forecast period on the 21st, it’s a desert. There’s nothing but tiny, weak, wind-affected swell, mostly under 3ft, with poor energy readings (often under 100). The only exception is a brief 6ft SW swell on the afternoon of Sunday the 20th, but it’s got a 7-second period and a cross-onshore wind – it’s just a messy, weak windswell.

Honestly, the best bet is Tuesday the 8th of September morning. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SSE, the wind is glass, and the break is a breakwater setup that’s very consistent. It’s beginner-friendly at that size, so expect a few people around (it can get crowded sometimes), but it’ll be worth it for the clean lines. The combined energy is moderate (473), and the period is a decent 9 seconds. It’s the only session that really ticks all the boxes.
