Doring Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the charts for Doring Bay. The next couple of weeks are gonna dish up some real solid action, but you gotta pick your windows.

The core of this run kicks off from Tuesday the 7th morning through the end of the weekend on Sunday the 12th morning. There’s a good pulse of consistent, solid swell for a few days. The combined wave energy is right up in the sweet spot, getting into the thousands – that's proper grunt. The water's hanging around 56°F which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don't forget the booties if you're soft.

Best on offer is gonna be Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. You’re looking at a solid 8ft of SW swell rattling in at a nice 13 seconds, combined energy hitting 2185. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze – that's clean, lined-up surf. This is right in the sweet spot; it's got push but it's not out of control. For the more experienced crew, Tuesday morning, the 7th is also a standout with 6ft swell, light E wind, and clean conditions.

Don't sleep on Friday morning, the 10th of July either. The swell drops a touch to 8ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy with that N breeze. You can't buy better conditions than that.

The weekend holds in with some decent size, but by Monday the 13th, the energy really backs off. From the 13th through the 15th, it gets pretty small – waves under 3ft and weak energy. A glassy morning on the 14th might give a knee-high wave, but it's a quiet spell.

Then the charts are hinting at a serious pulse around Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning of the 21st looks excellent for the pros: 8ft of powerful SW swell at 13 seconds, light offshore wind – clean and heavy. The afternoon though, gets a bit wild with 10ft of SW swell and a 16-second period, combined energy over 4000. That’s serious power. The notes say it might be too big for this break, so that's strictly for the charger crew.

Doring Bay is a pretty consistent reef setup, and the recommended wind is offshore from the ESE. A lot of the good windows here have cross-offshore or glassy conditions, which is mint. Keep an eye on the crowds – it can get a bit busy, but if you're on it for those morning sessions, you'll be laughing.

So, in short: the first week is the real deal. Get out Wednesday or Friday morning. The second week has a tiny lull, but that last pulse on the 21st could be the wave of the fortnight.

Rusty.
