G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at what Suruga Bay has got cookin’ for us over the next couple weeks. We’re kickin’ off with a bit of a slow start but there’s a real nice window of cleaner, stronger swell mid-week, and a couple of mornings that’ll have ya paddlin’ out with a grin. The waves are mostly gonna be on the bigger side for a bit, so keep that board choice in mind.
Alright, Wednesday the 8th is a bit of a teaser. We’ve got a 3ft SSE swell rollin’ in early, but it’s onshore wind and the vibes are just “marginal”. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft but again, the wind’s messy. Not the day to rush for. The water temp’s about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothin’ wild.
Now Thursday the 9th morning – that’s where it starts to get interesting. Glassy conditions, a clean 6ft SSE swell with a solid 14-second period, and the energy’s pumpin’ at 1746 (moderate to strong). This is the kind of early session that’ll have you stoked. The wind’s barely a whisper, so the surface’ll be like a mirror. The swell’s a bit much for beginners though, over 5ft. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Friday the 10th morning is a real standout. Glassy again, with a 7ft S swell and a 14-second period. The energy’s jumped to 2945 (very strong). This is proper groundswell with heaps of push. The wind’s dead calm – “Slight air” they call it – and that’s as good as it gets for clean waves. Again, not for the learners, this is for the crew who know what they’re doin’. It gets a bit messy in the afternoon with that cross-onshore breeze pickin’ up to 9 mph, so the morning is your window.
Saturday the 11th sees the swell peakin’ at 10ft from the SSW, period hangin’ at 17 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, and while it’s got serious energy (5348 – very strong), that cross-shore wind in the mornin’ and stronger cross-shore in the arvo will mess with the shape. This is expert territory – 10ft is too big for most. The morning’s got a light cross-shore, so it’s surfable but not pristine. A good one for the experienced crew lookin’ for power.
Sunday the 12th morning drops a little to 8ft SSW, period still long at 16 seconds. Light cross-shore wind keeps it reasonable. Still big, still got that energy (3378). The afternoon’s a bit smaller and chop’s creepin’ in.
Monday the 13th morning is a hidden gem. The swell’s eased to 5ft from the SSW, period’s 13 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as. The energy’s moderate (716). This is a lovely, clean, mellow session for a Monday. Not huge, but perfect lines. Inconsistent? This break is very consistent, so you’ll get waves.
After that, it drops right off. Tuesday the 14th morning has a tiny 3ft and glassy, but it’s barely there, and the energy’s weak (248). From Tuesday arvo right through to the 17th, it’s pretty poor – small, weak, and often messy. There’s a real dry spell from around the 15th to the 17th with barely any surf.
We get a tiny pulse again on the 18th and 19th, with some 4ft SSW swell, but the wind’s never right, and there’s even some storm risk. Energy’s around 400 – nothin’ special. The 20th has a 2ft swell with a clean wind, but it’s tiny. After that, it fades right out to small and weak into the 23rd.
So, the best of the bunch: Thursday 9th July morning and Friday 10th July morning at Suruga Bay. Clean, glassy, strong 6ft to 7ft groundswell with heaps of energy. Get out there before the wind turns. The big Saturday swell has the power, but the wind’s a bit of a spoiler. The Monday morning is a nice little consolation too.
Stay sharp, and don’t sleep on those glassy windows.
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.
