The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our little patch of coast.
First up, it’s a pretty quiet start. We’ve got nothing worth paddling out for from Monday the 3rd right through the middle of the week. Mostly tiny, sloppy waves with onshore winds. You’d be wasting your time and energy. That gap stretches a good few days with no real recommendations.
Now, things get interesting from Thursday the 6th afternoon. That’s where the first proper call comes in. Voodoo, a solid reef set-up, will start to pulse with a 5ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is offshore out of the NE at 12 mph, and that’s the key – it’ll be clean. The combined energy will be moderate (346). This is a spot that’s inconsistent, so when it works, it’s a bit of a gem. It’s an advanced break, so don’t be taking a foamie out there if you’re new. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Friday the 7th morning has some cross-shore wind that’ll put a bit of crinkle on the surface, so it’s not as good as Thursday arvo. The afternoon cleans up, but the swell is a little smaller at 3ft. Still, you could get a few.
After that, we slide back into a long, flat, and messy period. From Saturday the 8th all the way through to Sunday the 16th, it’s mostly poor. Onshore winds, short-period slop, and barely a ripple. The energy is weak, with values mostly below 100. Not worth a look.
Then, hold onto your boards, because Monday the 17th afternoon brings a proper pulse. We’re looking at a 7ft south swell with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 1249. Now, that’s a big number. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but rideable. This is expert territory at 7ft, and being a reef, it’ll be powerful. It’s a promising long-range standout, but we’re a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the forecasts. Tuesday the 18th morning still has size at 6ft, but the onshore wind will make it messy.
So, the best of the bunch is Thursday afternoon the 6th for a clean, fun session, and the big one to watch is Monday the 17th afternoon for the experienced crew.

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.
