The Lowdown
Right. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Suruga Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, mate. To be honest, the next week or so is looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a bit of a dry spell to get through. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, 4 September. That’s a solid week and a half of waiting. The first few days are all small, weak, and chopped up with cross-shore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
The standout for the whole period is hands down the morning of Thursday, 4 September at Suruga Bay. This is the one to circle. The swell is a clean 6 ft, coming from the SSW, with a period of 11 seconds giving it some decent push and energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is 950). The wind is glassy, absolute perfection. The conditions are described as “very good,” and for a beginner-friendly breakwater spot that’s very consistent, this is about as good as it gets. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are always possible here, so get in early.
The morning of Tuesday, 2 September brings a much bigger 8 ft swell from the SSW, but it’s onshore and choppy. That’s getting into expert-only territory, and the wind is messy. Not a clean option. The following morning, 3 September, is similar with 7 ft and cross-onshore winds, still not great.
The morning of Friday, 5 September offers a tiny 3 ft with glassy conditions, but it’s only “surfable” – not a standout. After that, it gets silly. By Tuesday, 8 September, the swell is pumping at 18 ft, but the file itself says it’s “too big for this break.” That’s a hard pass. The winds are howling from the ENE at 15 mph, making it a complete mess. Even the 10 ft on the 7th is poor with onshore wind.
So, keep your powder dry for that Thursday morning, 4 September. It’s the only true gem in the whole 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.
