Table - best surf conditions forecast for Udo Shrine over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at our spot, Udo Shrine. It’s a reef setup, so you gotta treat it with respect, especially when the swell gets up. This is a pretty consistent run of surf on the way, but it’s not all gonna be clean and perfect.
We start off the run this Sunday, 12 July. The morning kicks off with a solid 8 ft S swell running at a nice long period of 13 seconds. That’s some proper groundswell. The wave energy is pumping with a reading of (2570). This is for the experienced crew, as it’s getting over that 8 ft mark. The wind is a light cross-shore from the SE, but the report says it’s marginal. The afternoon cleans up a touch with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops a bit to 8 ft. Still a meaty day, but keep your wits about you.
Monday, 13 July, looks like the real standout for this first week. The morning is where it’s at – 5 ft S swell with an 11-second period and a light offshore breeze from the SW. The report says to expect very good conditions. This is pumping out a solid (630) on the energy scale. For a reef break, that offshore wind and S swell is a dream. This is your window. The afternoon goes cross-offshore and drops off, so make sure you get on it early.
Tuesday, 14 July, the swell backs off to 3 ft, but that morning is glassy. Glassy! It’s only got (178) for energy, so it’s gonna be small and tame. Good for the beginners, but nothing to write home about. The rest of the week from Wednesday into the weekend sees the swell shrink right down to nothing, down to 1 ft or 2 ft. The wind turns onshore and we get a run of poor surf. Expect a few days of flatness and choppy mess.
Now, hold onto your board shorts. We’ve got a gap of a few days with no real recommendations, but then we get a pulse for the end of the month. On Wednesday, 22 July, the morning turns glassy again. We get a 5 ft E swell with a 10-second period. The energy is back up to (624) and the report is saying expect very good conditions. The afternoon turns a bit messy with a cross-shore. Then the next standout pops up on Thursday, 23 July morning – 3 ft E swell with clean cross-offshore wind. It’s small but clean.
However, watch out for the big event on Sunday, 19 July. We got a 10 ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph. That’s a washing machine. The energy is huge (1291), but it is absolutely not for paddling. For you kite surfers out there, that might be your playground, but for a regular surfer, it’s a no-go zone. The swell stays big and messy through Monday the 20th, with 7 ft swell and heavy onshore wind.
The standout for the whole run is clear: Monday, 13 July morning. You get a solid 5 ft S swell, an 11-second period, and that light offshore wind. It’s the cleanest and most powerful option we get.
Stay safe out there.
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.
