The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for Suruga Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a bit, it's a tough watch. The swell is barely a whisper, mostly hanging around 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind is pretty much constantly cross or cross-onshore, which just messes up the surface. The energy is super weak, usually under 100 (like 29 or 30), so you're not going to get much push. The morning of the 30th of July has a glassy moment with a 2ft swell from the SW, but it's just too small to get excited about - the energy is only 29. There's a clean moment on the 31st of July morning with a cross-offshore breeze, but again, the swell is a tiny 1ft. It's a real flat spell.
Now, we get some action starting on the 2nd of August. The morning shows a little 2ft, glassy surf, with energy hitting 54. It's still small, but it's a sign of life. The real pulse starts building on the 3rd of August with a 3ft ESE swell, but the wind is light cross-onshore, and the energy is ramping up to 385. It's not clean yet.
The standout for this whole forecast is the 5th of August. The morning of the 5th has a solid 10ft swell from the ESE, with a long 19-second period, and the energy is a massive 6218. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is okay. The afternoon keeps that 10ft size with a 18-second period and energy of 6761, with a slight cross-onshore. But hold on - the 6th of August is the biggest. The morning of the 6th is packing an 18ft SE swell, with energy hitting 15313, and the wind is light cross-shore. The afternoon is 20ft from the SSE with energy of 18550. This is huge, powerful stuff. The finder notes say the swell is too big for this break, so this is strictly for the most experienced big-wave chargers. The long period (15-19 seconds) means this is a proper groundswell, which will be very powerful but might break a bit straight at a beach break like Suruga Bay. It would be better suited to a point or reef, but that's not what we have here.
After that, it drops quickly. The 8th of August morning has a 3ft S swell with a clean, cross-offshore wind and energy of 217. The afternoon goes glassy with a 2ft SW swell and a long 12-second period, energy of 339. The 9th of August morning is the best of the smaller stuff: a 4ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and a long 12-second period with energy of 548. That's a clean, fun-sized wave for the experienced crew.
Overall, the best day on offer is the 5th of August for the massive groundswell, but only for experts. The 9th of August morning is the best bet for a clean, manageable surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The break is a beginner spot, and crowds are possible, so keep an eye out.

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.
