The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, I’ll be straight with you: Suruga Bay is going through a flat spell. For the first week-plus, it’s a tough watch. Tuesday the 21st through Monday the 27th of July is all tiny, weak mush with combined wave energy barely ticking over (9 to 150). A few glassy mornings on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, but the swell is just too small to get excited about – we’re talking 0.7 ft to 2 ft max. The wind’s mixed, but the swell just isn’t there. You’re looking at a solid 7-day gap of pretty much nothing worth paddling for.
We start to see a pulse on Tuesday the 28th of July morning. It’s still marginal, with a combined energy of 315 – moderate – and a 3 ft swell from the SSW, period 11 seconds. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some push, but the cross-on wind from the east will mess with the surface. Not a standout, but it’s the first sign of life.
The real standout is Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning window is the best on offer across the whole 16-day run. We’ve got a solid 8 ft swell from the SSW, with a 12-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a strong 2105, so there’s plenty of power. The wind is WSW at 16 mph, which is cross-offshore, meaning clean, lined-up waves. This is expert territory – 8 ft is big, powerful, and the period is long, so it’ll be better over the reefs and points. Suruga Bay is a breakwater setup, so it might handle it, but this is not for the faint-hearted. Thursday the 30th of July morning drops to 6 ft but still has that 12-second period; it’s more manageable, but the wind goes cross with a bit of chop.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, no major anomaly flagged.
The last week of the run into early August is messy. Saturday the 1st of August morning sees a 10 ft pulse from the SSE, period 10 seconds, with a massive energy of 2702, but the wind is cross-on. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’ll be a washing machine. Only for the most experienced. After that, it drops off into the 3 ft range with onshore winds, mostly poor surf conditions.
If you’re looking for the one true window, it’s Wednesday the 29th of July morning. Big, clean, powerful. For the rest, be patient.
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.
