Voodoo Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(New South Wales – Sydney South, Australia)

Surf-default-break-image
Name: Voodoo
Type: reef
Reliability: inconsistent
Best Swell: S Offshore Wind: NNE

Voodoo in Sydney South is an exposed reef break that only works when conditions are just right. The best time of year for waves is autumn. The best wind direction is from the north northeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the optimum swell angle is from the south. A left hand reef break. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Sometimes crowded. Watch out for rips, rocks, crowds and pollution.

Secret spot? We can hide it!

IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Visitor Reviews of Voodoo


Moggy from AUSTRALIA writes:

Contrary to map info Voodoo is located on South side of Kurnell Peninsula in Sydney's Sutherland Shire. The main wave is a left reef located 500 metres South of Potters Point. Best around half tide or low tide when small. On higher tides the left isn't as hollow, though a shorter fun right breaks from the peak.
Closer to the car park at Potters Point is a shallow and challenging right named Suck Rock.
All these breaks are reef with access to and from the water via paddling through rip channels.
On big swells exit can be tricky, and mis-timing can result in the unfortunate surfer being washed down in front of the rocks to Boat Harbour or the Mays Reefs.

[Editor - thanks. We'll update the location]
