Alright, let’s switch to feet and knots for you. Same story from Rusty – no big winners early on.
The only half-decent moment in the near term is Duckpool Bay on Wednesday 8th July morning. Glassy calm, clean as a whistle, but the swell is only 2 feet from the west (9-second period). Combined energy is low at 80. It’s an inconsistent spot, and you might have company occasionally. That’s about your only real chance for a clean wave in the first week.
Friday 10th July morning offers a light offshore from the east and 2 feet west swell – again clean but weak (86 energy). Everything else in the first week has cross or onshore winds and tiny waves. Water temp is average for this time of year.
From Sunday 12th July through Thursday 16th July, there’s a big gap with almost no swell – just pathetic little bumps, even if the wind is offshore. Don’t bother.
Second week: Friday 17th July sees swell building but winds turn messy. Saturday 18th July brings 5 feet west swell with a short 6-second period, fresh cross-shore wind, energy moderate at 191 – lumpy and choppy. Sunday 19th July morning has the biggest swell: 8 feet from west-northwest, 7-second period, but fresh cross-shore wind and energy hitting 512 – strong. That size is for experts only (over 8 feet in the afternoon drops to 5 feet). Windswell with short period and bad wind – better for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
No true standout here. The cleanest windows are those two mornings around Wednesday 8th and Friday 10th July, then a dry spell until that bigger but messy swell. Forecasts can change, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
