Table - best surf conditions forecast for Duckpool Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again, laid back but honest. Let’s look at Duckpool Bay.
It’s a slow start, no two ways about it. The first few days are total washouts. Tuesday the 7th of July has a tiny 2ft west swell, only 8 seconds between waves, and the wind is onshore – pure chop. Wednesday the 8th morning is the only time you’ll see a clean face, with 2ft from the west, a 9-second period, and glassy wind. Combined energy is only 60 – weak. That’s the one shining moment, but the swell is still tiny.
The best we get is Friday morning, July 10th. Swell pushes to 3ft from the west, 9 seconds, combined energy hits a moderate 107, and we have light offshore wind from the east making it clean. It’s surfable, but only just. The afternoon stays clean but drops to 2ft.
From Saturday the 11th all the way to Tuesday the 22nd of July, it’s a desert. Waves barely hit 2ft. On the 22nd, a 5ft west swell rolls through, but with a short 8-second period and onshore wind at 22 mph, it’s a lumpy, blown-out mess. Combined energy is 295 – moderate – but you’d need a kite, not a paddle board. Water temp is 63°, a touch warmer than usual for the season.
No standout days here. The only window is Friday morning the 10th, and even then, it’s marginal. The rest is a long, flat stretch. This area can turn around, but right now, Duckpool Bay is sleeping.
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.
