The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking in Suruga Bay for the next couple of weeks.
It's a grim start, folks. From Friday the 17th all the way through Saturday the 25th, we're looking at a long, flat run. The waves are tiny, the wind is mostly crummy onshore or side-shore, and the energy readings are barely a flicker, stuck in the 12 to 54 range. You'll see a glassy morning on the 22nd, but with only 2ft of weak, short-period junk, it's not worth the effort. Honestly, it's a nine-day stretch that's more suited for a kite than a paddle board.
Then the switch flips. The first real bright spot is Sunday the 26th. The morning is the call. We've got a clean 3.5ft swell from the SSE, with a solid 14-second interval and glassy conditions. The energy jumps to 517, a solid moderate push. That's a groundswell, so it'll have better shape and more punch, but you can expect longer waits between sets. For a beginner-friendly spot like Suruga Bay, 3.5ft is a perfect size, and with the slick wind, it's going to be a fun, clean morning. Just a heads up, crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so get out early.
But the heavy stuff is coming. Tuesday the 28th is for the big dogs only. The morning brings a solid 8ft groundswell from the SSE, with a 16-second period. The energy is a massive 3584, a very strong pulse. The winds are glassy, so the conditions will be pristine. This is a serious, powerful swell. The afternoon, though, gets wild. The swell jumps to 11ft from the same direction, but the wind swings onshore and the energy hits 6566. The forecast actually says it's too big for this break, so stick to the morning session if you're an expert. The next morning, Wednesday the 29th, is also glassy, but with an 11ft swell from the SW and a shorter 9-second period, the energy is still very high at 2373. Again, experts only, and the shorter period will make it a bit messier.
After that, it drops off fast. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are back to small and weak. That Tuesday morning, the 28th, is the one to circle on the calendar.

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.
