The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Udo Shrine.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t a week for the surfari. There’s a real dry spell on the cards. For the first week and a half, from Friday the 17th of July right through to the morning of Friday the 24th, the ocean is pretty much flat or junk. You’ll see a few knee-high pulses, but the energy is weak (18 to 106 for the combined energy) and the winds are mostly cross or onshore, making a mess of things. The only real tease is a couple of glassy mornings on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, with clean 2ft waves from the east on a 9-second period. It’s surfable, but it’s tiny. It’s about as ordinary as a flat soda.

The real story, and the only reason to get excited, is a late surge of energy that shows up on Sunday the 26th of July. Starting around that Sunday morning, the swell builds fast. By Tuesday the 28th of July, it gets serious. The afternoon of Tuesday the 28th is the standout window. We’re looking at a solid 12ft swell from the east with a long 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 4885, which tells you there’s a heap of power in the water. A moderate cross-shore breeze will keep it from being a total washing machine, but the shape will have some chop. Still, for experienced surfers, this is the only time worth paddling out. The swell is bang on the optimum S direction for this reef, but it’s big; over 8ft, so this is strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing. Beginners, stay on the beach for this one.

The water temp is sitting right around average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama.

All in all, you’ve got a solid week of flatness to work through before the energy kicks in. The last week of July into August looks promising, but it’s a long way off. Keep your eye on that Tuesday the 28th.

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.
