Alright folks, let’s see what Udo Shrine has cookin’. Gotta be honest – the first few days are a bit of a letdown. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are barely rippling. Swell only 1ft to 1ft with offshore wind, but it’s flat as a pancake. This reef is inconsistent and only really works when the swell comes from the south, which is its optimum. Water temp is 79°, a touch cooler than usual for the season.
Now look, Monday afternoon the 6th – things perk up a little. Clean 1ft wave from the ESE with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 258. Wind is moderate offshore. It’s small but clean.
The real excitement starts Tuesday the 7th afternoon. Swell hits 5ft from the SE, period a huge 15 seconds, energy strong at 1117. Wind is light cross-onshore – a little bumpy but the size and period make up for it. Then Wednesday the 8th is the big one for experienced surfers: 10ft from the SE, 17-18 second period, and energy is massive – 6827 in the arvo. That’s strong to very strong. On a reef, that long period groundswell will draw some beautiful lines, but that cross-onshore breeze (East-Southeast) will put a few wrinkles on the face. Not a wave for beginners; over 8ft is expert territory. Thursday the 9th stays large at 12ft but wind gets stronger and more cross-onshore.
Friday the 10th is the absolute peak: 15ft from the SSE, 17-18 second period, combined energy hits 13779 in the afternoon. That’s huge groundswell. Wind is onshore from the ENE but at that size on a reef, the waves will still hold. Only for the brave. And watch for thunderstorms.
The swell gradually fades through the second week. Sunday the 12th offers 7–7ft south swell with moderate energy, but winds improve – Sunday afternoon is clean with a cross-off breeze. Monday the 13th morning is the absolute jewel: glassy calm, 5ft south swell, 11-second period. Zero wind, combined energy 560. That’ll be the most perfect, clean chest-to-head-high waves of the whole run. Even though the break is inconsistent, when those sets come, it’ll be magic.
After that, Tuesday the 14th has a glassy 3ft south swell in the morning, then things peter out into the 15th and beyond with small weak swell and poor wind.
Best bets: experts, get on Wednesday the 8th and Friday the 10th for the biggest, most powerful groundswell. For the cleanest conditions, don’t miss Monday morning the 13th – glassy perfection on a reef.
Keep in mind crowds are often here, and Udo Shrine is inconsistent – when it breaks, it’s a gem.

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.
