The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up for Suruga Bay.
Look, to be straight with you, the next few days are a write-off. We’re looking at a real flat spell from Monday the 27th of July right through to the end of the month. Tiny, weak little waves with poor wind and messy conditions. Honestly, not worth wetting the wetsuit for. Wednesday the 29th of July shows a blip of chest-high swell from the SW, but it’s a short-period, windswell mess with combined energy (189) in the moderate range. The morning is glassy though, and if you’re desperate, you might get a few sloppy ones.
The real standout is shaping up for early August. Tuesday the 4th of August is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid pulse of groundswell from the ESE, pushing 4ft with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 619 (very strong), which means there’s some serious power in the water. What makes this special is the wind: Tuesday afternoon goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, which will have Suruga Bay looking like a mirror. The swell direction (ESE) is not the optimum SE for the bay, but with that long period and that kind of energy, the wave quality will be there. This is a day for confident surfers – that 4ft is going to feel bigger with that period, and the long period will make the sets more defined. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday the 5th of August morning is still very good, with another glassy morning and 3ft of that same ESE groundswell (446 energy). The morning of Thursday the 6th of August also offers glassy conditions and 3ft ESE swell, with strong energy (508). So, that stretch from Tuesday the 4th through Thursday morning the 6th is your best bet, with Tuesday afternoon being the absolute gem.
After that, the swell fades out and the wind turns against us, so we’re back to small, messy conditions through the end of the second week. A few clean, tiny waves on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, but nothing to get excited about. The long-range promise is already fading by the following Tuesday.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The second week starts with a bang. Lock in the 4th of August.
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.
