Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in with a look at Duckpool Bay.

To be straight up with you, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid sixteen-day run with almost nothing to get excited about. The first couple of weeks are a write-off. From July 12th right through to the morning of July 27th, the swell is just too tiny, barely flickering above 1 foot. The energy levels are weak, mostly sitting between 18 and 59, with hardly any push. You’ll see long-period groundswell trying to show up, but with heights like that it’s just not doing anything.

Now, for the one bright spot. On the morning of Monday, July 27th, we finally get a pulse. Swell jumps up to 6 ft from the WSW with a moderate energy reading of 554. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so the surface will have a few ripples, but it’s not blown out. That size is punchy, maybe pushing into expert territory for some, but if you're comfortable in overhead waves, this is your only shot. The breaks here are exposed, so it will catch that energy. Periods around 9 seconds mean it's a shorter-period wind swell, so it might be a bit crumbly and not have the clean lines you'd get from a groundswell.

For everything before that date, honestly, leave the board at home. It’s flat.

Stay patient,
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.
