Table - best surf conditions forecast for Suruga Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a solid pulse of swell heading into Suruga Bay, but it’s a short-lived window of quality, so you’ll want to be on it.
The standout is Sunday morning, the 12th of July. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell rolling in from the SSW with a very long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, pushing a massive energy reading (5009). The wind is glassy from the east at just 3 mph, which will clean things up nicely. This is the best on offer, but it’s only for experienced surfers at that size. Keep in mind the optimum direction is SE, so this SSW swell might be a little raw, but the power and the clean conditions make it a special session.
The water is sitting at 76°, which is a bit colder than we’d expect for July, so a steamer might be the call.
The window opens on the 11th, Saturday afternoon, but it’s a cross-shore mess with 12 mph winds and a marginal surface. Not worth it.
Sunday morning steals the show. By Sunday afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and the quality drops. The swell remains big at 8ft, but the texture is gone.
Monday morning, the 13th, is still a decent option. The swell has dropped to 5ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, but the wind is dead calm—glassy conditions. The energy is still moderate (784). For a beginner, 5ft is a bit much, but for a solid intermediate, that’s clean and fun.
After Monday morning, it’s a long, slow fade. The swell drops below 3ft from Tuesday the 14th onwards, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. From the 15th of July through to the 26th, it’s essentially flat or junk. The energy drops to two-digit numbers, and the comments are all "poor surf conditions." That’s a solid 12-day gap of nothing worth paddling for.
There’s a tiny flicker on the 22nd of July (Wednesday) with a 3ft, 12-second swell from the SE, but the wind is cross-shore, and the energy is weak. It’s a tease.
So, to sum it up: your only real window is Sunday morning, the 12th, for the big, clean, powerful stuff. Monday morning is a consolation prize. After that, put the board away.
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.
