Suruga Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the local surf scene for Suruga Bay.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a real mixed bag coming our way. The standout action is all happening this Sunday, the 12th of July. That’s where the real energy is. We’re looking at a solid SSW groundswell pushing in with very long-period 16-second intervals. The combined energy is pumping hard at 3957, which is some serious juice. The morning session is the pick – glassy, clean conditions with some clouds overhead. The swell is hitting 10ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The wind is light and glassy from the SE, making for near-perfect conditions. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so maybe a thicker wetsuit is in order.

Sunday afternoon, the wind swings to the SW and picks up, creating a cross-shore bump. The swell drops a touch to 8ft, but the energy is still massive at 3182. It’s surfable, but the morning was the real magic window.

Now, Monday the 13th is the next decent call. The swell backs down to 5ft, but the period is still a solid 12 seconds. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the W, which will keep things clean. The combined energy is still moderate at 824. It’s a good option for a wider range of surfers, not just the experts. Monday afternoon goes glassy again with the ESE wind, but the swell drops to 4ft.

After that, things get real quiet. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Saturday the 26th of July, the surf is mostly poor or marginal. There are a few small windows – like Wednesday the 15th morning with glassy conditions but only 2ft of weak swell (79 energy). Or Saturday the 18th has a 5ft SE swell, but the wind is howling at 19 mph from the ENE, making it messy and lumpy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

The next real blip of interest is Saturday the 25th of July. We get a 4ft SSE swell in the morning, period of 13 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 645. The wind is light from the S, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 6ft but with stronger onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. Not the best.

Sunday the 26th of July morning could be a look with the swell holding at 5ft from the SSE and a 11-second period. The wind is from the NE at 6 mph, giving a light cross-shore. The energy is 700. It’s a marginal call, but worth keeping an eye on if the forecast firms up.

Overall, the clear winner is Sunday morning the 12th of July at Suruga Bay. If you’re experienced and can handle the size, that’s the one. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly a waiting game with small, weak, or windy conditions.

Rusty.
