The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Udo Shrine.

We're looking at a pretty quiet start to the forecast period. The first week or so is all about small, weak waves, so don't expect much. The real action, if you can call it that, is a solid pulse of easterly groundswell that arrives late in the run, around August 2nd, but it comes with some serious wind issues.

For the first week, from Wednesday, July 22nd through the end of the month, it's a real struggle. We're dealing with tiny swell, mostly under 3ft, and the energy is low to moderate. The best you'll find is on a few mornings with glassy conditions. Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is one of those, with a tiny 3ft easterly swell at 11 seconds, and the water is a warm 83°, which is totally normal for this time of year. The combined energy is only 177, so it's weak, but it's surfable. Thursday morning, July 23rd, is even smaller at 2ft, but with a dead calm, glassy surface. These are the only real windows for a paddle in the first week, but don't expect much push. The rest of the time, the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, making a mess of the already meager waves. There's a long gap of days with poor to very ordinary conditions.

Now, the standout is the big pulse of easterly swell that shows up on August 2nd. This is a long-period groundswell (18 seconds) that really builds, with combined energy rocketing up to 2724 on the Sunday morning, and over 3000 by the afternoon. The swell height jumps to 7ft to 8ft, which is big enough for experienced surfers only. The problem? The wind is pumping out of the northeast, cross-onshore, which will chop it up. It's a real shame, because the raw energy is there.

The real window of opportunity comes on the morning of Tuesday, August 4th. The swell is still a solid 7ft from the east, with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is a meaty 2073. But the magic is the wind: it's dead calm, glassy. This is your best chance for clean, powerful surf, but it's definitely for the experts. The wave comment even calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers". This easterly swell is also coming from the direction that Udo Shrine prefers, which is a bonus. Just keep in mind that this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded. For that morning session, you'll want to be on it early.

The rest of the last week sees the swell dropping off and the wind turning messy again, with onshore and cross-onshore conditions. The waves become too big for beginners on the 2nd and 3rd, and the period drops. It's a brief, promising window, but you have to be ready for 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.

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.
