The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and here's what's on the cards for Suruga Bay over the next 16 days.
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – this stretch is a tough one. The vast majority of the forecast period is a write-off, with poor surf conditions and zero rideable waves for days on end. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't even show up until Saturday, August 29th, but even then, it's a pretty average start to the run.
The standout for the whole period is a highly conditional one on Tuesday, September 8th. It's a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but that morning is the only time the energy really builds. You're looking at a moderate swell energy of 644, with clean 3 ft waves coming from the ESE. The period is 13 seconds, so it's a groundswell with some shape. The wind is light from the ENE, giving us a gentle cross-shore with only a slight chop. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've got. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is about normal for this time of year.
For the rest of the run, it's a whole lot of nothing. The weekend of the 30th and 31st is tiny and onshore, and the following week is a mix of small, weak swells with poor wind – mostly onshore or cross-shore stuff. Even when the swell shows a bit of size on the 8th, the winds are messy. Thursday, September 11th morning has a 3 ft swell from the SSW, but it's got a cross-shore breeze that'll mess it up. After that, the wind ramps up, with strong breezes dominating the second week, making it choppy and unappealing. For beginners, there's nothing here unless you're just learning to paddle.
It's a classic case of a long, quiet period for Suruga Bay. The forecast is what it is, and we're just gonna have to wait for the next proper swell to roll in.
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.
