Susuki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Susuki over the next couple of weeks. I won’t beat around the bush – it’s a slow start, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. There’s a bit of a wait before things shape up, but when they do, there’s a solid run of fun waves to be had, especially if you pick your moments.

The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Tuesday the 1st of September, and even then it’s more of a tease. You’ve got a small 3ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a 12-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell – that energy feels smooth, but the combined swell energy is only moderate at 222. The morning looks glassy with a slight air, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are tiny and will need a decent bank to work. It’s marginal at best.

Things stay pretty quiet and poor through the middle of the week, with a couple of afternoons offering a brief window of clean-ish surf, but the swell is small and the period drops right off. Not worth rushing for.

The real standout window kicks off on Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a solid ESE swell of 5ft, with the combined swell energy jumping up to a strong 298. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW – absolute perfection for clean, lined-up waves. This is the pick of the forecast. The afternoon holds similar, with 5ft and light cross-off breezes keeping things tidy. For a beginner-friendly spot like Susuki, this is a bit of a sweet spot – still manageable but with enough push to get a decent ride. Just be aware, at this size it’s pushing past the easy beginner zone, so if you’re newer, maybe sit it out.

Then, Friday the 11th of September afternoon – this one is special. The swell is 5ft from the ESE with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 669 – that’s very strong wave energy. But the wind? Dead calm. Glassy. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions” and I’d be frothing if I saw this. The period is long enough to hold shape, and that offshore wind is nowhere to be seen – it’s pure glass. For a point break or reef this would be dreamy, but at a beach setup like Susuki, that long-period swell can sometimes straighten out. Still, with those conditions, it’s the best on the whole board.

The next day, Saturday the 12th of September afternoon, also offers 5ft from the E with a solid 11-second period and glassy wind – another beauty. Combined energy is 553. That’s a close second.

After that, the run fades. Sunday the 13th sees a drop in size and more cross-onshore wind, so the window closes.

One thing to note – the water temp anomaly is about average for the time of year, so no surprises on that front. A standard tropical morning.

So, the takeaway: don’t bother until Monday the 7th, then lock in Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. Those are your standouts. Saturday morning is a bit choppy, so hold off for the glass-off.
