Suruga Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks have one real highlight, and then a whole lot of nothing. The first few days have some size, but the wind and rain are going to be in the way. After that, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. So, plan accordingly.

It starts on Sunday the 6th, and it’s ugly. There’s some weak, short-period swell, but the NE wind is blowing 30 mph and it’s cross-shore with rain. The water is 81°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s decent. It’s lumpy and messy, not worth a second look.

Monday the 7th is the day. The south swell builds through the day, and by the afternoon we’ve got a solid 8ft of south swell with a 9-second period. The wind drops out to nothing, leaving it glassy, and the energy in the water is strong. This is the standout of the whole stretch. This is when Suruga Bay (Suruga-Bay) is going to show its best. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the one. The swell is from the S, which is what this breakwater wants to see. It’ll be clean and powerful. Expect some company, because when it’s this good, people show up.

Tuesday the 8th backs off a bit to 5ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore and it gets a little lumpy. It’s surfable, but average at best.

Wednesday the 9th sees another pulse, with 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon. There’s good energy, but the wind is a light cross-shore, putting a bit of texture on it. Still, for the better surfers, there’ll be waves to be had.

From Thursday the 10th onwards, it’s a slow fade. The swell drops, the period drops, and the wind stays messy. It’s just poor, weak surf for the rest of the week.

By the weekend of the 13th and 14th, it’s all but done. Small, weak, and tired. There’s a brief moment on Sunday afternoon, the 13th, when it goes glassy with a 2ft swell, but it’s just too weak and small to bother with.

The second week is a total write-off. From the 15th through to the 21st, we’ve got nothing but tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with cross and onshore winds keeping everything chopped up. The energy is just not there. It’s the kind of stretch where you hang up the board.

So, your window is Monday afternoon, September 7th, at Suruga Bay. That’s it. Make the most of it. After that, it’s a long dry spell. But hey, this place tends to come back around, so it won’t be poor forever.

Stay salty.

Rusty.
