Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Duckpool Bay over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you—this stretch is lookin’ pretty grim. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead.
The first real chance to wet a board doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, July 8th, and even then it’s barely a whisper. For the days before that—Saturday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 7th—it’s all poor surf conditions. Tiny swell, messy wind, and just nothing to get excited about. Save your wax.
Come Wednesday morning, July 8th, there’s a tiny 2ft swell rollin’ in from the west with a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak (40) so don’t expect much push. But the wind flips to a glassy northeast breeze, making it the cleanest we’ve seen. Duckpool Bay can be inconsistent and it’s showing—still, for a brief window it’ll be surfable but very ordinary. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but on a day like this you’ll probably have it to yourself.
Thursday morning, July 9th, the same 2ft west swell with light east-northeast cross-offshore wind keeps it clean (combined energy 47). It’s still small and ordinary, but if you’re desperate for a glide, that’s your other slim pick. Afternoons get choppy.
By Saturday the 11th, the swell jumps to 4ft from the north, but it’s short period (6 seconds) and the combined energy is moderate (124). Light south wind in the morning keeps things clean, but the quality is still poor. Afternoon turns to rain showers and a choppy mess.
From there it’s back to tiny or messy conditions right through to Sunday the 19th. There’s a day on the 13th with a long-period 12-second pulse, but the swell is only 1ft and the wind is cross-onshore—don’t bother. The rest is a blur of small, onshore slop.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a standout, there isn’t one. The best on offer is that glassy Wednesday morning, July 8th—tiny but clean. The rest of the 16-day run is a write-off. This area can have long flat spells, and this is one of ’em.
Stay tuned, forecasts change. Rusty out.

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.
