The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Udo Shrine is looking pretty quiet for the first week, mate. From Saturday the 25th of July through the end of the month, we’ve got nothing but tiny waves. Swell heights are around 1ft to 2ft, with the combined energy sitting at 82 (weak) at best. Mornings are glassy with winds from the NE or ENE at 3 mph, but the afternoons get a cross-shore breeze that messes it up. It’s surfable, but barely.
The first few days of August are the same story. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are flat, weak, and not worth the drive. The energy is still in the teens or low seventies. It’s a real dry spell.
Then Monday the 3rd of August, we get a little pulse. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the ESE, with a period of 12 seconds, and energy hits 403 (moderate). The wind is light cross-on from the east at 3 mph, so it’s a bit bumpy, but it’s a start. By the afternoon, it’s 3ft, period 13 seconds, energy 744. Still a bit messy, but getting there.
Tuesday the 4th of August is the big one. Swell jumps to 8ft in the morning, 8ft in the afternoon, both from the ESE with a very long period of 17 to 18 seconds. That’s groundswell, and the energy is strong – 3042 and 4304. For a reef break like Udo Shrine, this is going to be a beauty. The wind is light cross-on, so it’s clean enough. This is the standout session. It’s a bit big for beginners, but intermediates will have a blast. The swell direction is close to the optimum S, so it’s working well.
Wednesday the 5th of August is massive – 13ft from the east, period 18 to 19 seconds, energy 9434 and 11573. That’s too much for this break. Only experts should even think about it, and even then, it’s going to be heavy. The wind is light cross-on, but the size is the problem.
Thursday the 6th of August is even bigger – 20ft in the morning, 18ft in the afternoon. The energy is insane (22387 and 18908). The file says it’s too big, and I agree. This is a day to watch from the cliffs.
After that, it drops off. Friday the 7th of August is small and messy, and Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are back to weak, cross-on junk. The swell is done.
So, the call is Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s your best shot. Get out there early for the cleanest conditions.

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.
