The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Duckpool Bay over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with very little to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle, with only a couple of tiny windows where you might even bother paddling out. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first real chance to even think about a wave comes on Saturday, August 8th, in the afternoon. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell rolling in from the WSW, with a weak energy reading (79). The wind is light and clean, coming cross-offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. But the swell period is only 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and crumbly. It’s a “surfable but very ordinary” kind of day. Crowds are possible here sometimes.

Then, on Monday, August 10th, the morning brings a bit more size – 4ft from the north – but with a short, snappy 5-second period. The combined energy is still only moderate (65). Wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSE, so the surface will be clean. Again, it’s just ordinary, not a standout by any stretch.

The rest of the forecast is a write-off. There are long gaps of 5-7 days with absolutely nothing recommended. The swell is tiny, the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy levels are very weak (4-36). The swell is too small and weak for any real fun. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area.

If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are the afternoons of August 8th and the morning of August 10th. But keep your expectations on the floor. It’s a poor run, and I wouldn’t be driving out of my way for it.

Rusty.

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.
