The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down in numbers you’re more used to. The next 16 days at Voodoo are looking pretty bleak, with a long stretch of nothing much. We start on Wednesday, July 15th, with a solid 8ft swell from the south, but it’s getting battered by a 30 km/h onshore wind, making it a total mess. The energy is high, around 1160, but the conditions are poor. This continues through Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th, with the swell dropping but the wind staying onshore. The water temp is about average for the season.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th of July is small and cross-shore, with swell under 3ft. Not worth the effort. The only real, tiny window comes on Monday, July 20th. The swell is minuscule, about 2ft from the south, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. It’s described as "surfable but very ordinary," with wave energy at a weak 95. It’s the cleanest it’ll get, but still not a highlight. After that, it’s even smaller through the 22nd and 23rd.
On Friday, July 24th, the swell bumps back up to 7ft from the south, but a fresh 30 km/h onshore wind makes it lumpy and poor. The energy is moderate at 528, but the wind is a killer. The reef setup is more suited for kite surfing than paddling in these conditions. The rest of the month into July 30th is a mix of small, poor surf with onshore or cross-shore winds. No standout sessions here. It’s a dry spell, which is normal for this area with this forecast. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t get your hopes up.
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.
