The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
The only spot worth talking about is Udo Shrine, a reef break that’s inconsistent and can get crowded. Water temperature is about 80°F, which is a couple of degrees cooler than average for this time of year – you’ll notice that slight chill.
The first decent call is Tuesday morning, July 14th. We’ve got a clean 3-foot south swell with a 9-second period, moderate energy (175), and a light offshore wind from the west. It’s nothing special, but it’s clean enough for a paddle. The afternoon drops to 3 feet with a cross-off breeze, still surfable but very ordinary.
Wednesday the 15th is smaller, down to 2 feet in the morning with a gentle offshore, and 1 feet by the afternoon. Clean, but not much push. Energy is weak (67 and 54). From Thursday the 16th through the end of the month, it’s mostly a write-off. We get some glassy mornings like Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th, but the swell is tiny – mostly 1 to 2 feet – with short periods. It’s more of a float than a surf.
There is a late build. From July 26th onward, the swell starts to push. By Monday the 27th, we’re looking at a 4-foot easterly swell with a very long 15-second period, and energy jumps to 881 (moderate). That’s a groundswell with some grunt. But the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and it gets stronger. By Tuesday the 28th, the swell is 5 feet, wind is 25 mph from the NE, and it’s messy. On the 29th, the swell hits 8 to 10 feet with a 16-19 second period, but the wind is howling onshore. That’s big, powerful, and completely blown out. For a reef break like Udo Shrine, that’s a washing machine, and it looks more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. With that size and onshore wind, it’s expert-only, and even then, it’ll be a struggle.
The standout? If you’re desperate, Tuesday the 14th morning is your best bet. Small, clean, offshore wind. Just don’t expect much. The rest is either flat or too messy. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 16th to the 26th, so don’t hold your breath.
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.
