G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s have a look at what’s happening for Suruga Bay over the next sixteen days. The first week’s a bit of a write-off for a proper surf, honestly. There’s basically no rideable waves for the first few days, with tiny, weak stuff and poor conditions. Hold out, because the real action looks to come mid-week and into the weekend starting on the 8th of July, but the standout window for the truly special waves is on the 11th and into the morning of the 12th.
We kick off on the 4th and 5th of July with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, under 2ft, and the wind is messy. On the 6th, Monday, a bit of a long-period groundswell starts to show, with a 16 second period from the SE, but with moderate cross-shore wind and only 1ft to 2ft, the energy is weak (92 to 121). It’s still poor. The first signs of something bigger arrive on the 7th of July, Tuesday, with the swell building to 2ft to 4ft and a very long period of 16-17 seconds from the SSE. The combined energy jumps into moderate territory (459 to 915), but the wind is still cross-shore, and the surf is described as marginal.
Now things start to ramp up. Wednesday the 8th of July sees the swell push past 6ft to 7ft, with a long 17-18 second period from the SSE. The energy is now strong (2449 to 3008). The problem is, the wind is still not ideal – light cross-shore or onshore – so the quality is only marginal. This is getting solid, but it’s not the best it can be. Thursday the 9th holds similar size, 7ft to 7ft from the S, still with light cross and cross-onshore winds. The energy stays very strong (2915 to 2832). It’s still only marginal.
Then we hit Friday the 10th of July. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the S, with a 17 second period. The combined energy is massive, hitting 4636 in the morning and 5336 in the afternoon. The wind is still a gentle cross-shore in the morning and light cross-onshore in the afternoon, so it’s a bit bumpy. This is big, powerful stuff, only for experienced surfers at this size.
The standout moment is Saturday the 11th of July. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The morning brings an incredible 10ft of swell from the SSW, still with a long 17-second period, and the energy is sky-high at 5270. But the real magic is the wind: it’s glassy. Absolutely dead calm, with only a slight air. That’s the kind of condition that turns a powerful swell into perfection. This is exceptional surf, but make no mistake, at 10ft, this is strictly for expert surfers only. The afternoon gets a bit onshore and drops in quality.
Sunday the 12th of July morning is another great session. The swell drops to a still-chunky 8ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy again. The energy is still strong at 2588. This offers excellent surf for experienced surfers, with clean, lined-up sets. The afternoon sees the wind turn cross-onshore and the quality drops.
Monday the 13th of July morning sees a big drop in size to 3ft from the SW, with a 12-second period. It’s glassy again, so the conditions are good, and the energy is moderate (492). This is a nice, mellow session for a wider range of surfers.
From Monday afternoon, and right through the rest of the forecast into the week of the 14th to the 19th, the swell fades away badly. It gets smaller than 3ft, the period drops, and the combined energy falls into weak territory (as low as 35). Winds are mostly cross-shore or onshore. The surf becomes poor to non-existent. Total flat spell from the 14th to the 19th of July.
So, the big call is Saturday morning, the 11th of July – if you are an expert. Glassy, 10ft SSW groundswell. Don’t miss it. For everyone else, the Sunday morning, the 12th, with 8ft glassy SSW is your best bet, and Monday the 13th morning offers a smaller, clean option for a fun catch-up session. Everything after that is a long, quiet break.
Keep it salty.
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.
