The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the look ahead for Voodoo. Let’s get straight into it.
The 16-day window starts with a bit of a wait, to be honest. The first few days are a write-off for any decent paddle surfing, with messy onshore winds and poor conditions. It’s not until Saturday the 12th that we see some hope. The overall pattern shows a slow start, a modest window of clean, smaller surf mid-period, and then a proper pulse of energy right at the end of the run.
Saturday the 12th morning is where it finally turns the corner. We’ve got glassy conditions, a 4 ft swell from the SSE with a solid 11-second period, and the water is right around average for this time of year at 64°. The combined wave energy is moderate (457), and with the wind dead calm, it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is a great window for a longboard or a fish. Just a heads up, this spot is inconsistent, so when it’s good, you want to be on it, and crowds are possible here.
The following days drop off into the smaller stuff through the middle of the week, with the swell dipping below 3 ft and the energy weakening. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
Now, here’s the standout. Looking way out to Saturday the 19th, things get serious. The morning shows a solid 10 ft groundswell from the south, with a 10-second period and the combined energy pumping at 1982 – that’s strong. The winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is big, powerful surf. At over 8 ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The following afternoon drops to 7 ft but the period stretches to 12 seconds with moderate offshore wind, offering another chance for the crew who know what they’re doing.
Then, on Friday the 25th, the end of the forecast window throws a real beast. The afternoon shows a 15 ft southern hemi groundswell with a very long 11-second period, and the wave energy reading is a massive 5030 – that’s exceptional. The wind is offshore and moderate. This is a once-in-a-while event for expert surfers only. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is huge.
So, for the best on offer: Saturday the 12th morning for the clean, fun waves, and Saturday the 19th morning for the powerful, expert-only session. Don't sleep on the 25th afternoon either if you've got the skills.
Stay stoked, catch you in the water.
Rusty.

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.
