The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about this in feet and miles. It’s a slow start for Suruga Bay, no doubt about it. The first week is mostly flat, tiny, or just plain messy. You’re not missing a thing. Things start to wake up a little around Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s still only so-so. The real juice shows up from Tuesday the 4th, but the wind is all wrong, so it’s a real kick in the teeth.
The spot to keep an eye on is Suruga Bay itself. It’s a breakwater setup, exposed, and it’s very consistent. For the first proper swell worth paddling for, we’re looking at Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning session is the one. We’ve got a glassy surface, a north-northwest offshore wind, and a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the east-southeast with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (214), and with that glassy offshore wind, it’ll be clean and have some shape. It’s not a big day, but after all that nothing, it’s a proper little gem. The crowds are expected to be around sometimes, so don’t think you’ll have it all to yourself.
The rest of the forecast is a tough one. That big swell from the 4th to the 7th is huge – 10ft to 16ft – but it’s getting hammered by strong cross-shore winds, making it a total mess. That’s kite-surfing weather, not for a paddle board. The combined energy hits over 13,000 (13426) on the 6th, so the power is insane, but it’s ugly. By the 8th and 9th, it drops back but it’s still cross-on and choppy, with a risk of thunderstorms. The 13th of August looks like a return to poor conditions with onshore wind.
So, bottom line: the whole window is a bit of a struggle, but Wednesday the 12th of August morning is your one clean, glassy chance. Get out there while the gettin’ is good.

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.
