Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Suruga Bay. Gotta be honest with you, the next week or so is a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a real treat waiting for those who can hold out.
The early part of the forecast is rough. Swell is tiny and messy, mostly under 3ft, with weak combined wave energy (13 to 136) and a lot of cross-shore breezes. You’ll be fighting chop and rain, and there’s nothing doing for a paddle surfer for several days here. Things start to show a pulse around Tuesday the 8th of July, with some longer period groundswell pushing in from the SSE. The energy jumps into the moderate range (1704), but the conditions are still a bit choppy and cross, so it’s marginal at best.
The real standout window begins on Friday the 11th of July. We get a solid pulse of SSW groundswell holding around 10ft. The period is a very meaty 17 seconds, which means proper groundswell energy. For Suruga Bay, a breakwater setup that is exposed to a SE optimum, this long-period SSW swell might hook in a bit differently, but the raw power is undeniable – we’re talking strong wave energy (5801). The wind on Saturday morning is a light offshore from the WSW, keeping things clean. This is expert territory only though – 10ft waves are serious business and not for the faint-hearted.
Right before that, on Friday the 10th of July, there’s a gem. The morning shows glassy conditions with an 8ft, 16-second swell from the S. The combined energy is very strong (4266) and the water is a bit colder than normal for the time of year at 75°. If you’re an experienced surfer looking for clean lines without the huge afternoon wind, that Friday morning is your best bet. The swell is big, but manageable for those with skills.
After that good pulse, the swell fades quickly through the second week. By Monday the 14th, we’re back to smaller, less organised waves and onshore winds that just chop everything up. There are long gaps of poor, unsurfable conditions after that, so don’t bank on a surf session after the weekend.

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.
