The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Voodoo. This is a reef break that needs a good southerly groundswell to light up, and looking over the next 16 days, it’s a bit of a mixed bag with some definite quiet spells.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a wait before anything decent shows up. The first real chance to get a wave happens on Friday morning, 18 September. That morning, we’ll see a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The wind will be light and cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. The combined energy is moderate (389). The water temperature here is 63°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s not a massive day, but after a stretch of poor conditions, it’ll feel good to get wet. Friday afternoon is smaller at 5ft and still clean, but a bit more marginal.
Now, the standout window comes on Tuesday morning, 22 September. This is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the south, with a 10-second period and a nice gentle offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy is moderate (389) and conditions are looking clean. For a reef like Voodoo, that’s a really nice setup. It won’t be too big for most experienced surfers, and the offshore wind should keep the waves well-shaped. It’s only for the morning though, as the wind swings around in the afternoon.
There’s a bit of a wild card on 19 September with a tiny 1ft swell but a very long period of 17 seconds. That’s a true groundswell, but the size is just too small to do much with, especially on a reef that’s inconsistent anyway. Not really one to get excited about.
Overall, the forecast shows long gaps with very little happening, especially from 20 September onward. The consistent periods are short. For a break that’s already inconsistent, a blank run isn’t unusual. Keep an eye on that Tuesday 22 September morning. That’s the one.
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.
