The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Suruga Bay.
To be honest, the next week and a half is pretty flat and gutless. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, crummy waves and poor conditions. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until around the 25th of July, and even then, it’s just ordinary. The water temp is sitting at about 77°, which is pretty much normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first session worth paddling out for is on the morning of Thursday the 16th. It’s small, with a 2ft swell from the SW and a period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak (52). The key here is the wind: it’s glassy, absolutely dead calm. That means the surface will be clean, even if the waves are tiny and ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
After that, we get a run of really poor surf. A few days of onshore breezes and tiny, short-period junk. The morning of Saturday the 25th is the next chance. It’s still small, 2ft from the SSW, but the wind is glassy again. The energy is still low (49), but it’s a clean, glassy morning on a small wave. It’s marginal, but it’s the pick of a very flat run.
Now, the standout in the whole 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the S, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy is strong (1167). The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is manageable. This is a real step up in size, but at 6ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners might want to sit this one out. The long period (13 seconds) means better-shaped waves with more push, and the gaps between sets might make paddling out a bit easier. The morning of Thursday the 30th is also looking promising, with a similar 5ft swell from the SSW and the same 13-second period, delivering strong energy (1290). Just keep in mind that the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so the surface won’t be perfect. For a spot like Suruga Bay, which is a breakwater setup and can get crowded, this is your best bet for some real waves.
So, the bottom line? The next week is a write-off. Save your energy for the 29th and 30th. That’s where the real swell is. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because it could change.
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.
