The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Grab a coffee because the outlook for A-Ds-Doubles is bleak for a very long stretch. We've got a solid 16 days of dodgy conditions, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The whole run is plagued by strong, persistent cross-shore and cross-onshore winds – mostly a fresh to strong breeze from the ENE that just won't let up. Even when the swell shows some size, the wind tears it apart, leaving lumpy cross-chop and messy waves. The combined swell energy fluctuates, sometimes reaching moderate levels, but it's all noise with that wind. We see a brief spike on the 22nd and 23rd of September with swell heights hitting 8ft and period around 8-10 seconds, but those winds are brutal – up to 31 mph – creating near-gale conditions. That's expert territory at best, but with the cross-chop it's more of a survival mission than a surf session.
From the 26th of September, the wind shifts onshore from the SE with risk of thunderstorms, which is even worse. The swell drops right down, and the few pulses from the SSW with long periods (17-18 seconds) won't do much with the wind on it. There's a slight glimmer on the 27th of September morning when the wind drops to a gentle breeze, but it's still onshore and the swell is a short period 7ft from the ENE – a frustrating, lumpy combo.
To be blunt, there are zero standout days. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. A-Ds-Doubles is a spot that can handle some size, but with these relentless winds, it's just not working for a paddle surfer. Honestly, with the strong cross-shore winds and decent swell, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than trying to wrestle a surfboard in that mess.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at ADs/Doubles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 ADs/Doubles 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.
