Alright, let me break down what we’ve got here at Duckpool Bay for the next couple weeks. This stretch is west exposed, but it’s inconsistent and most of the time the waves just aren’t worth the paddle. From July 4th through July 19th, it’s mostly onshore wind with small weak swell.
One thing to point out first: the water temp is 63°F—that’s about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not need as thick a suit.
The only decent chances are tiny. On Wednesday morning, July 8th, you’ve got 2ft west swell with a 9-second period—combined energy is weak at 41. Wind goes glassy from the NE at just 3 mph, so the surface will be flat calm. Crowds are only sometimes here, but the spot’s inconsistent, so you’ll have it quiet.
Then Thursday morning, July 9th offers 2ft again from the west, 9 seconds, energy weak at 44. Light cross-offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph keeps things clean. Still very ordinary.
On Tuesday morning, July 14th, there’s a slight bump to 2ft with a 10-second period and moderate energy at 131. Wind is cross-off from the NE at 9 mph—clean but nothing special.
All the rest of the time is onshore wind and messy. Even when the swell hits 6ft on Friday July 17th, it’s onshore at 12 mph with a short 7-second period and strong energy (348), but it’ll be a churned-up mess—better for kite surfing. There’s no real standout in the whole 16 days.

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.
