The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next couple of weeks, it’s a slow start for Suruga Bay (Suruga-Bay), but if you’re patient, there’s a nice little window of clean waves comin’ our way. The water’s sittin’ at about 80°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – no surprises there.
The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday, the 21st of July, are flat and messy with barely a ripple. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th aren’t much better – tiny, onshore junk. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are still poor, with weak, short-period swell and onshore winds. We’re lookin’ at a good five-day stretch of nothin’ worth paddlin’ for.
Then things start to stir. Monday the 27th sees a little bump in energy, but the wind’s not right and the surf’s still poor. The real spark comes on Tuesday the 28th. The morning session is the first standout. The wind goes glassy, with a clean 3 ft swell from the SSW, period droppin’ in at 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (217), and it’s the first real chance for a decent wave – clean, glassy, and the bay’s workin’. That’s your call for the week.
Wednesday the 29th morning is another beauty – glassy again, 3 ft from the SSW, period stretchin’ to 10 seconds, energy up to 216. And Thursday the 30th morning is the best of the bunch: 4 ft from the SW with a 12-second period, clean as a whistle under glassy conditions, and energy at 449. That’s a solid groundswell, and the longer period will give you some nice, shapely lines off the breakwater. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but at this size, it’s perfect for a wide range. Crowds are possible here, so get out early.
Friday the 31st morning is still clean, with 4 ft from the SW, but the arvo gets blown out. Saturday the 1st of August has a clean morning again – 4 ft from the SW, cross-off wind, energy at 319. After that, the wind turns sour and the last couple of days of the forecast drop off into messy, onshore slop.
So, the standout is definitely Thursday the 30th of July morning – glassy, 4 ft, long period, and the bay’s got the right direction. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th mornings are also worth a paddle. After that, it’s a slow fade into the second week with nothing else jumpin’ out.
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.
