The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve gotta wait a bit for anything decent at Udo Shrine, but the second half of the outlook has some proper juice. The water’s about 83°, which is nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year.

The first surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July. The week before that is a total bust – from Monday the 20th through Sunday the 26th, the waves are tiny, mostly under 3ft, with combined energy readings between 86 and 161 – barely a pulse. The winds are light and glassy on a few mornings, but the swell is too small and short-period to do anything with. You’d be better off staying on the beach.

Come Monday the 27th, we get a proper south swell at 6ft, with a 13-second period – that’s real groundswell. The energy jumps to 1889, so there’s plenty of grunt. The morning is glassy with a light SSE breeze, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is for experienced surfers only – 6ft is too big for the groms. The south direction lines up perfectly with what Udo Shrine likes, so the reef should be firing. It’s an inconsistent spot, so you’ll have lulls between sets, and expect crowds because it’s often busy.

Tuesday the 28th of July is the real standout. The morning serves up 8ft of south swell, still with a 14-second period, and combined energy of 2056. The wind is glassy from the ENE, so the surface will be perfect. This is big, powerful, and clean – only for the experts. The afternoon gets a cross-shore wind, but the morning is the one to chase.

Wednesday the 29th of July is still good – 4ft of SSW swell in the morning, glassy calm, and energy of 716. The swell drops, but the quality is high. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze. Thursday the 30th of July has a smaller 4ft south swell, still glassy in the morning, but the energy is down to 267. Fun, but not the best.

From Friday the 31st of July onward, it fades out. Onshore and cross-onshore winds move in, the swell drops under 3ft, and the energy falls to 46–100. The last few days into August 4th have a big bump – 10ft on the morning of August 3rd – but the period is short at 9 seconds, the wind is cross-onshore, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. That’s blown-out and messy. Might be interesting for kite surfers, but for a surfer, it’s a hard pass.

The best of the outlook is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July – 8ft south swell, glassy, groundswell, and the reef doing its thing. The Monday the 27th morning is also a beauty. Get in early.

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.
