The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let's sort through what Duppys is offering up.
The long and short of it is we've got a pretty big gap of quiet water coming. For the next 12 days or so, from now up through the end of next week, there's nothing worthwhile. You'll see tiny bumps (like 0.6 ft to 2 ft) on the 16th, but the commentary calls it "poor" or "very ordinary" conditions. It's a stretch of flatness, so don't bother paddling out.
Let's look ahead. The real deal kicks off on the 27th of September. That Sunday morning is the one. The combined swell energy shoots up to 690, which tells you there's some serious power moving through. We're looking at head-high swell coming in from the NNE at 4 to 5 ft, with a period of 15 seconds. That's a long period groundswell, perfect for a reef.
The wind will be blowing E at about 15 mph, which is offshore for this spot. That's a good wind direction, keeping the faces smooth. The water temperature is around 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
For the standout, focus on the morning of Saturday the 27th September. You're looking at a solid 4 ft of clean, offshore-rippled swell hitting the reef. The crew factor's worth a mention: "sometimes" crowded, so it won't be empty, but it will be worth it. The week following (28th and 29th) also has fun waves, from 4 to 5 ft, with offshore to cross-off winds, though the commentary flags that the tide might play a role in the quality.
Before that weekend, it's a waiting game. The end of the month is your window. Keep an eye on the charts, but this one looks like a good call.
Rusty.

Information about the Duppys Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Duppys provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Duppys can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Duppys 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 (Duppys) 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 Duppys 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.
