Doura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, Rusty here for the lowdown on this stretch.

Let’s start with the water: it’s sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than we usually see this time of year, so you won’t need the thickest rubber.

First few days are a total bust. Saturday the 11th is tiny and messy, just leave your board in the car. Sunday the 12th morning, we finally see a bit of a pulse, but it’s only 2ft from the NW. The wind goes dead glassy though, so it will look pretty for a morning paddle, even if the energy is weak (94).

The middle of the week turns on a bit. Monday the 13th morning gives us a clean 3ft wave from the NW, a light cross-off breeze, and moderate energy (152). It’s surfable, definitely, but nothing to call home about. The real action starts later.

The standout window is from Sunday the 19th. Sunday morning pushes up to 6ft from the NW, the wind is light and clean from the north – perfect conditions for Doura. The energy jumps to 382, which is a solid step up. This is the first proper swell of the outlook.

Monday the 20th morning looks even better. Swell holds at around 6ft from the NW, the period is a bit longer, and the energy is strong at 460. With that clean offshore wind, this is the session to aim for. It’s still a manageable size for most, and it’ll be well-shaped.

Later on, we see a bigger pulse on Friday the 24th with 7ft swell and energy pumping at 690, but the wind goes cross-shore, which will put some chop on the face. That’s one for the experienced crew only, as it’s a solid size and not perfectly clean.

Overall, it’s a slow start with a couple of decent but small clean days, then a genuine run of good swell from the 19th to the 20th. Later pulses have size but the wind might spoil the party.

Rusty.
