Alright, let me look at what we’ve got coming up for Duckpool Bay.
Honestly, the next few weeks are looking pretty flat and disappointing for this spot. We’ve got a long, blank run to start, with nothing worthwhile from Tuesday the 7th right through to Friday the 10th. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the combined wave energy is really weak — well under 100 (51 down to 80) — so there’s just no push in the water. Winds are mostly onshore or cross during that first stretch, making things pretty messy.
The first real chance you’ll want to get wet is Saturday morning the 11th. It’s still small, around 1ft from the W with a short 8-second period and combined energy of only 38, but the wind swings cross-offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which keeps it clean. It is inconsistent here at the best of times, so don’t expect waves lining up regularly; you’ll have to be patient.
Things actually look best for Wednesday morning the 15th. We’ve got a small 2ft W swell, 10-second period, with combined energy of 30, but early morning winds go glassy — that’s rare enough to make it a standout for the tidy little peelers that do roll through. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Unfortunately, after that, it’s back to flatness. From the 16th through the 22nd, swell heights drop to 0.3ft – 1.0ft most days, with combined energy as low as 5 (19th). Winds are a mixed bag: we get a bit of glass on the 17th morning and the 20th morning, but with effectively no swell, you’re better off finding something else to do. The 21st and 22nd see a small bump to 1ft and 2ft, but winds are onshore from the W at 12 mph, making it choppy and ugly.
Bottom line: the only session worth chasing is Wednesday morning the 15th for a small, glassy window. Everything else is either too weak or blown out. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though — it doesn’t stay poor forever around here.

Information about the Duckpool Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Duckpool Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Duckpool Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Duckpool Bay 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 (Duckpool Bay) 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 Duckpool Bay 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.
