The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I'm looking at Udo Shrine for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell for the most part. This is a period for the longboard or maybe the foil if you're keen on scratching for tiny bumps. The silver lining is that the winds look clean often, with plenty of offshore and glassy conditions to keep the surface smooth.
The pick of the litter is the early part of the period. On Tuesday the 14th, we've got the biggest swell of the run at 3ft out of the south, with a moderate 153 units of energy behind it. It's not gonna shake your fillings loose, but it's something. The real standouts for a clean, fun paddle are Wednesday morning the 15th and Thursday morning the 16th. Wednesday brings a consistent offshore W wind at 12 mph and a 2ft S swell. Thursday cleans up with a 2ft SW swell and a gentle 9 mph offshore W breeze. With Udo being an inconsistent reef, catching it clean and small like this is a nice treat. Don't expect a crowd.
After that, it gets real small. Friday the 17th is glassy in the morning, but the swell is down to 1ft. Through Monday the 20th to Wednesday the 22nd, we're seeing glassy or light winds again, but swells are mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft with hardly any energy. Water temp is a warm 81°, which is about 2° cooler than usual for this time of year – nothing to write home about, just standard.
Looking into the second week, things don't improve much. There's a faint pulse around the 24th and 25th with some long-period groundswell from the ESE, up to 58-second intervals, but the height is pitiful at 0.7ft to 1ft. By the 27th-29th, the swell energy builds up to between 510 and 1140 units, and the height finally gets to 2ft-3ft. But by then we're looking at onshore winds and thunderstorms, so the quality is shot. It'll be messy.
Your best bet is this Wednesday and Thursday mornings for some clean, small waves. After that, it's a long drought punctuated by a stormy pulse that won't be worth paddling out for.
Rusty.

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.
