The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you—Suruga Bay is in for a long, frustrating stretch. The next week and a half is basically a write-off. We're looking at tiny, weak swells and onshore wind messing things up day after day. The combined wave energy barely gets out of the 20s and 30s for the first week, which is just pathetic. There's a big gap of nothing worthwhile until we get to the start of August.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday morning, the 4th of August. That's a solid week and a half of waiting. The water's sitting around 80°, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no complaints there.
Come Monday, the 4th, we finally see some life. The swell jumps up to 4ft from the east-southeast, with a very long 16-second period. That's a proper groundswell. The combined energy hits a strong 793 (moderate wave energy), which is the standout of the whole forecast. The wind is light from the east, giving us a light cross-onshore, which will keep it from being perfect but it's the best we'll get. This is the one to target. The long period means it'll be better for the reefs and points, but Suruga Bay is a breakwater setup, so expect some straight lines and long waits between sets. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but at 4ft, it's still very manageable.
Tuesday morning, the 5th, still has some push with 4ft from the same direction, but the onshore wind picks up a little and the energy drops to 746. Still marginal, but if you missed Monday, it's your next best shot.
After that, the wind gets nasty. By Thursday and Friday the 7th and 8th, we're looking at fresh to strong cross-onshore winds from the east-northeast blowing at 18 to 25 mph, with the swell dropping back to nothing. That's just messy, choppy, and not worth paddling out. For kite surfers, that might be a different story, but for us, it's a no-go.
So, to sum it up: the whole first week is a flat, blown-out dud. The only real standout is the morning of Monday, the 4th of August. Get on it if you can, because before and after that, it's a long wait.

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.
