The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin' down Suruga Bay in feet and knots for the next couple weeks. It's a story of a slow start and then some real heavy water.
First up, don't even bother waxing the board for the first few days. The start of September is a total dud. Wednesday and Thursday the 2nd and 3rd have a tiny 2 to 2 foot south swell, but it's weak with combined energy barely hitting 50 to 97 (very weak). Thursday afternoon cleans up a touch with a light offshore, but it's still nothing to write home about. There's a big gap of poor conditions with strong winds and lumpy chop all through that first weekend and into Monday the 7th.
The first real beacon of hope hits on Thursday the 10th. The morning is still a little rough, but come Thursday afternoon, we're lookin' at a solid 7ft south swell with zero wind. Dead glassy. The combined energy is a proper 1175 (moderate) with a 10-second period. This is the pick of the entire forecast for the experienced crew. That's your window.
Friday the 11th morning holds that clean energy too, with about 6ft and glassy conditions. But the wind swings onshore by the afternoon and ruins the party.
We get a few smaller clean moments around the 12th, and then it goes quiet again until… brace yourselves. The 16th and 17th of September are showing some absolute slabs, but it's not for paddle surfing. We're talkin' a 15ft swell on the 16th with an insane combined energy of 12202 (very strong). The notes say it's predicted to be too big for the break. With that power and the cross-shore wind, you'd be better off on a kite. It's a kite-surfing show.
The very tail end, the 17th, cleans right up with glassy conditions on a still-massive 10ft to 8ft swell. That's experts-only again, with excellent conditions, but you're going to need the big-gun board.
So the final word: The only true standout is Thursday afternoon, September 10th at Suruga Bay. Clean, glassy, solid 7ft south swell. Everything else is either too small, too messy, or too damn big.
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.
