Table - best surf conditions forecast for Voodoo over the next 16 days.
Alright mate, let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Voodoo. This is a reef that is inconsistent, so I’m only talking about when it’s actually worth getting wet. Water temp is about 63.5°F, which is normal for this time of year—nothing wild.
First real chance comes Saturday afternoon, July 11. You’ve got a small 3-foot swell out of the east-southeast, with 11-second intervals. The wind is from the northeast at 9 mph, offshore and clean. The combined energy is 310 (moderate). It’s not a monster, but for a south-exposed reef, this is a solid little window. Quality over size here.
Sunday, July 12, right through to Saturday morning, July 18, is dead. Strong west and south winds, tiny chop, essentially flat. That’s almost a full week of nothing.
It picks up again Sunday morning, July 19. Swell is 6.2 feet out of the east-southeast, 8-second period, but the wind is light from the northwest at 9 mph, cross-off and clean. Energy is 482 (moderate). Afternoon sees the wind go offshore from the northeast at 16 mph, swell still 6.2 feet but from the east, 9-second period, energy at 646 (moderate). This is a genuine option. Voodoo does see crowds sometimes, so be prepared.
The standout is Thursday afternoon, July 23. This is the one for the big dogs. Swell is 8.2 feet from the east-southeast with a 12-second period, and the wind goes flat calm from the northwest—glassy. The energy reading is 2813 (strong). This is expert only—over 5 feet and definitely over 8 feet means this is for the experienced crew only.
Friday morning and afternoon, July 24, keep the goods coming with 8.2-foot to 9.8-foot southeast swells, 11 to 13-second periods, and light east and offshore breezes. Energy is strong (2142 to 2769). Another excellent window for experts.
Saturday, July 25, the swell drops to 5.9 to 6.6 feet from the east-southeast, but the wind turns light onshore, so it gets marginal. The run finishes clean on Sunday, July 26, with 3.0 to 3.3 feet east-southeast swell under light offshore winds. Nice, but not the main event.
So to wrap it up: Saturday afternoon July 11 is a good little session, but the real standout is Thursday afternoon July 23 and Friday July 24. That’s when Voodoo turns on for the experienced surfers who like it clean and powerful.
Stay salty.

Information about the Voodoo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Voodoo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Voodoo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Voodoo 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 (Voodoo) 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 Voodoo 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.
