The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a frustrating start. The whole first week is pretty much a write-off. The swell is super small and the wind is just all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore and lumpy. There’s a tiny window on Thursday morning, September 3rd, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 3ft from the south with a short 8-second period – it’s surfable but very ordinary, not something to get excited about.
Then, after a few more days of nothing special, we start to see some real energy building. The standout session in the whole forecast looks like Monday afternoon, September 7th. The swell jumps up to 4ft from the southeast, with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined swell energy is pumping at 526. The wind is light and onshore, but for a breakwater setup like Suruga Bay, that long-period SE swell could wrap in nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but the wave quality will be decent. Keep an eye on the crowds though, they can be an issue here.
The following week, from September 9th onward, the swell really starts to ramp up in size, but the wind conditions get messy. By September 10th we’re looking at 8ft groundswell from the south with a period of 13 seconds, which is a massive 2171 combined energy reading. That’s expert-only territory at that size, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore or onshore breeze, making it lumpy and challenging. There’s a chance on the morning of September 12th the wind drops off a bit, but the swell is still a solid 6ft with a 12-second period. It’s a marginal call at best.
The water temperature is sitting at a warm 82°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year in Suruga Bay.
So, the honest truth is, there’s not a lot of clean, perfect surf in this 16-day run. The energy is there, but the wind is fighting us. The best of a bad bunch is definitely that Monday afternoon, September 7th. If you’re itching for a paddle, that’s your window.
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.
