Alright, Rusty here, checking out the next couple weeks for Duckpool Bay. Gotta be honest: it’s mostly a big fat nothing. There’s one little window that’s worth a look, but other than that, you’re better off finding something else to do.

There’s a major gap of over two weeks with hardly any rideable surf. The only real chance comes on the morning of Friday, July 10. The swell bumps up to about 3ft out of the west, with a 9-second period. Combined swell energy hits a moderate 110. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, so the surface should be clean. This spot is inconsistent, so it’s not a sure thing, but with that offshore breeze, it’s your best shot. Water temp is normal for this time of year.

After that, it fades fast. Saturday morning the 11th drops to 2ft, still with cross-off wind but weak energy at 62. From Sunday the 12th onward, the swell shrinks to a tiny 0.3ft with a long 16-second period from the southwest. The combined energy number (21) says it all—barely a ripple. That flat spell hangs around for days. Hard offshore winds from the east blow Monday and Tuesday, but there’s nothing to push. Energy readings stay low, often under 30.

Later, Thursday the 23rd morning shows a bump to 4ft, but with a terrible 4-second period from the north and cross-off wind from the SSE. Combined energy is 93, but with that period, the waves will be weak and choppy. Not worth the drive.

If you’re a kiter, those strong offshore days might be fun, but for regular surfers, it’s a long dry spell.

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.
