The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Udo Shrine for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a rough start. The first real surfable waves don't show up until Sunday the 30th, but conditions are very ordinary. We've got a small 2ft swell from the east with a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-off, so it's clean. The water is sitting at 83.7°, which is about average for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (198). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. That afternoon the swell picks up a bit to 3ft from the south, but the period drops to 7 seconds, and it's messy. The whole of Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st are poor, with small, weak swell and cross or cross-on winds.
We get a bit of a bump on Wednesday the 2nd with 6ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is cross-on and choppy, so it's not great. The energy is ramping up though (716). Thursday the 3rd sees the swell building to 7.5ft-8ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period, but it's still a rough cross-shore chop. The energy is getting strong (935-1007), but the quality isn't there.
The standout moment comes on Saturday the 5th. The morning is looking glassy with a light southerly breeze, no wind to speak of. The swell is 5ft from the south, with a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate (286). It's a solid, clean option for intermediate surfers. This is the best on offer. The south swell direction is a touch off the optimum, but clean glassy conditions can make just about anything fun. Keep in mind, Udo Shrine is a reef break that is inconsistent and can get crowded often, so pick your moment.
After that, Sunday the 6th has a long-period groundswell (16 seconds) coming in from the southeast, but it's onshore and messy. Monday the 7th has a big 11.5ft swell from the SE, but again, onshore and stormy.
By Tuesday the 8th, the swell is predicted to be too big for this break at 16ft, and the wind is onshore and strong. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it's a no-go for paddle surfing. The whole second week is a write-off with strong onshore winds, stormy conditions, and massive swell. Kite surfers might find it interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it's a week to sit out.
The window is short. Saturday the 5th is your day. Get out there.

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).
