The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s a rough outlook for Suruga Bay. Gonna be a long wait for anything that resembles a proper wave.
The first chance we get is on Monday the 3rd of August. An SE swell starts to build, with a 17-18 second period – that’s proper groundswell. Combined energy hits 902 in the morning, which is moderate, but the conditions are marginal. By the afternoon, the energy is strong at 1235, with a 5ft SE swell. But the wind is cross-onshore, making it a tide-dependent gamble. This breakwater spot can get a bit straight with the long period.
Tuesday the 4th pushes the swell up to 6ft from the SE in the morning, then 7ft in the afternoon. At 7ft and an 18-second period, this is expert territory. The morning sees a cross-off wind, which is okay, but it gets choppy and cross-onshore in the afternoon. The energy is strong at 2663, but it’s messy.
Wednesday the 5th is big – the swell hits 10ft from the ENE. The energy goes massive at 6970, then 7835 in the afternoon with 12ft waves. But it’s a fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions. This is more of a kiteboarding setup than a paddling one.
Thursday the 6th is the peak – a 15ft SSE swell from a 15-second period, with a combined energy of 10334. But it’s a fresh 35 km/h cross-shore wind from the ENE. Unsurfable for everyone except the most serious chargers, and the quality is poor.
After that, it drops fast. Friday the 7th still has a 7ft SSW swell, but onshore wind ruins it. By Saturday the 8th, we’re back to 5ft and fading energy. The rest of the forecast through the second week is just tiny, weak swell and onshore wind.
The only standout is the Monday morning session on the 3rd at Suruga Bay – maybe a 4ft SE swell with glassy-ish wind and a 17-second period. Water’s a warm 81°, normal for this time of year. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. After that, Tuesday morning’s 6ft might offer a brief expert window with a cross-off breeze. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
