Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Udo Shrine.
Right off the bat, the next several days are flat or very weak. From Friday the 3rd to Sunday the 5th, the swell is tiny – like 1ft to 3ft – and while the winds are often offshore or clean, there just isn’t enough push. It’s pretty much a write-off. We get a little bump Monday the 6th with some longer-period energy (15 seconds) coming from the SE, but combined energy is only 101 to 138 – weak stuff. The waves are surfable but ordinary.
Now, things get interesting Tuesday the 7th. Tuesday morning looks like the real standout. The water is running at 77°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year (about 3° colder). But that’s a minor detail because we’ve got a clean 5ft SE groundswell with a very long 15-second period, and it’s glassy – dead calm. The combined energy climbs to 1243 – solid moderate. For an exposed reef break that can be inconsistent, this is a special window. The long period will make the waves shape up well on the reef, but expect some lulls between sets. This one is for the experienced crew; beginners would struggle.
Tuesday afternoon gets a bit tricky. The swell jumps to 7ft, still a long 17 seconds, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets a little choppy. It’s still surfable for those who know the break, but not as clean as the morning.
From Wednesday the 8th through Saturday the 11th, the swell gets big – 10ft to 15ft – and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making conditions pretty rough. The energy readings are huge (up to 11,561), but with the onshore wind and that much size, this is really only for the most experienced. The tide and wind combo isn’t favorable for a clean session.
We get a brief reprieve Sunday the 12th with 7ft from the S and cross-offshore winds in the morning – clean, but energy is still high (1244). That’s a solid session for advanced surfers. Then it tapers off through the middle of the month into smaller, cleaner swells.
Looking way out, Friday the 17th is a monster. The morning shows a 16ft SE swell with 16-second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy at 12,456. The forecast says exceptional for experts. But by the afternoon, the swell is predicted to be 28ft with energy at 63,831 – that’s dangerously big for this break. Only the absolute top-tier should even consider it. Saturday the 18th drops back to a much more manageable 6ft and clean conditions – a nice reset after the huge stuff.
For the second week, the best bet is Friday the 17th morning if you’re an expert looking for a life-changing session, but be aware the long-range call is less certain. Other than that, the clean, smaller days mid-week (like the 13th and 16th) will offer fun, user-friendly waves for intermediates.
Overall, the standout is Tuesday the 7th morning – glassy, clean, and just the right size for an exposed reef. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Udo Shrine Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Udo Shrine provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Udo Shrine can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Udo Shrine 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 (Udo Shrine) 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 Udo Shrine 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.
