The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, this is going to be a lean spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly tiny, weak swell, and the conditions just aren’t coming together for any real quality. There’s a frustrating gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for, and it stays pretty grim until things show a tiny pulse of life later on.

The only break we’ve got to work with is Duppys, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the north. Water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, nothing wild.

The first real flicker of surfable waves doesn’t show up until Saturday the 19th of September, but it’s small. That morning you’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the NNE with a 12-second period, weak energy (56), and a moderate offshore breeze from the east. It’s clean, but it’s hardly going to get the heart racing.

The best of a pretty ordinary bunch looks like the weekend of the 20th. Sunday the 20th of September has the best shot. The morning swell is 2ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, combined energy is still weak at 63, but the wind is offshore from the east, keeping it clean. The afternoon holds similar 2ft NE swell. It’s small, but on a forgiving reef like Dupps, with offshore wind, you can find a few fun ones if you’re not picky.

Further out, Saturday the 26th of September shows a jump in energy. The morning has 1ft from the NNE, but the period stretches to 13 seconds and the combined energy hits 108 (moderate). The wind is a fresh offshore from the east. That’s a groundswell pulse, but still only 1ft – it’s more promise than performance. A long-period swell on a reef like Duppys can offer up some nice lines, but the size just isn’t there. This is promising, but less certain this far out.

Forget about any standout waves for beginners or experts; nothing gets over 5ft in the whole window. For the most part, the setup is weak and the scores are poor. If you absolutely have to get wet, aim for Sunday morning the 20th – the cleanest and most consistent of a very flat period.

Stay tuned, things can change.

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.
