The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking in Suruga Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be straight with you: the first week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a long, dry gap from now until the 24th of July, with nothing but tiny, weak, and usually choppy junk. The combined swell energy is barely registering, often well under 100 (79 is the best of a bad lot). You’ll see a few glassy mornings on the 15th and 16th with clean 2.3ft to 1.6ft bumps, but the swell direction is from the SSW and SW, not matching the optimum SE direction for this spot. It’s surfable but very ordinary – not worth paddling out for.
Come the 25th of July, things start to stir. Saturday morning has a bit of a pulse: 3.6ft from the SW with a clean, cross-off wind. The combined energy jumps to 165 (moderate), but the period is a short, crumbly 6 seconds. Decent enough for a beginner to get a few soft ones, but hardly a standout.
The real interest, and the one true standout in this whole 16-day window, lands on the 30th of July – Thursday morning. This is a late bloomer, a full two weeks out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. We’ve got a 5.6ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s groundswell, and it packs a punch – the combined energy is a massive 1955 (strong). The wind is a light cross-on from the SSW at just 3 mph, which will keep the surface clean with only tiny ripples. For a breakwater setup like Suruga Bay, this long-period, SE-angle swell could be magic, offering proper shaped waves with good gaps between sets. It’s a little too big for groms, but for the experienced crew, this is the session to pencil in. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
So, bottom line: get through the next 10 days of flatness, and keep an eye on that last Thursday morning. It’s the only real play on the board.

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.
