The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s cooking for Suruga Bay over the next couple of weeks.
First off, things are pretty quiet to start. Wednesday morning the 26th of August has a small 5ft S swell with an 11-second period, but the wind is side-on from the SW at 6 mph, and the wave energy is moderate (507). It’s a marginal call, so nothing to get excited about. The water temp is a warm 81°, which is pretty much average for this time of year—nothing odd there.
From Wednesday afternoon through the rest of August, the surf goes flat and messy. Swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, winds get all over the place, and the energy fades to weak. Most of these sessions are a zero, so you’re better off doing something else.
The first real standout is the 2nd of September. Wednesday morning brings a solid 7ft S swell with a very long 16-second period, and the energy is pumping hard at 2425. Wind is light from the SE at 6 mph, putting it onshore but light. That long period means plenty of power and long waits between sets. The afternoon stays similar at 8ft S, 15-second period, 2317 energy, with a light cross-onshore breeze. This is a big groundswell day. Just remember, with that long period, beach breaks can get a bit straight—look for a point or a bank that holds shape. The morning of the 3rd of September is also a beauty: 8ft S, 13-second period, 1758 energy, with light cross-shore winds from the SW. Clean, solid, and quality.
After that, the swell fades through the 4th and 5th. The 7th of September sees a big 10ft S swell with strong energy (2923), but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the ENE at 15 mph, making it poor. That’s a lot of juice but choppy—more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle one.
The final highlight is on the 9th of September (Wednesday). The morning has a 5ft S swell, 10-second period, moderate energy (633), and the best part—glassy, offshore conditions with a light SSW wind at 3 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and perfect for a long session.
Overall, the standout days are the 2nd and 3rd of September for size and power, and the 9th of September for clean, glassy conditions. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly flat or poor, so pick your moments.
Rusty 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.
