The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here checkin’ in from Voodoo – a shallow reef that doesn’t break often and only shines when everything lines up. Over the next couple weeks we got a few windows of clean surf, but the real gem is way out there, so don’t get too attached yet.
First up: Monday, September 7th. Morning brings a clean 4‑ft SSE swell under a light cross‑off NW breeze – nothin’ flash, but rideable. Then it goes to crap for a while. Tuesday through Friday are onshore and lumpy, with swell that’s there but ugly – no reason to paddle.
Saturday the 12th is better. Clean 5‑ft SSE swell with light cross‑off NW winds again – nice shape, moderate energy (551). Worth the wait. Sunday and Monday taper off, then Tuesday the 15th is junk.
Thursday the 17th of September – that’s a good one. Morning sees a clean 8‑ft SSE swell with a gentle cross‑off ENE breeze – strong energy (885). Afternoon stays clean with offshore NE winds and 6‑ft swell. The reef will handle it.
But the standout is Tuesday, September 22nd. Glassy – dead calm. Swell is a solid 10‑ft from the S, with strong energy (1102). That’s big – expert only. The reef is inconsistent, so when it goes off like this, it’s special. Short period (8 seconds) means steeper faces, but with glassy conditions it’ll be clean. Two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
Water temp runs about 64°F – normal for this time of year.
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.
