The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
This forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a full 16 days in front of us, but the only real surf worth talking about happens right at the start. After that, it’s a long, flat spell.
The one and only highlight is on Saturday, July 25th, at Duppys. Saturday morning you’ve got a clean 5ft swell coming from the ENE, with an 8-second period. The wind is offshore out of the ESE at 15 mph, keeping the faces smooth. Water temp is 83°, which is normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (256). It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, and the direction lines up well with the optimum N direction. This is a good session for experienced surfers. Crowds can pop up sometimes, so expect a few others in the water. Saturday afternoon holds the same size and direction, still offshore, still clean.
Now, here’s the bad news. From Sunday, July 26th, all the way through to Saturday, August 8th, it’s almost completely flat. We’re talking days and days of nothing. A few tiny waves show up in the second week – 0.3ft to 2ft – but with cross-offshore winds and very weak energy (the biggest reading is 108 on August 9th), it’s just not worth suiting up. The swell period gets longer, up to 12 seconds on the 5th, but the size is laughable. Even the 2ft on the 8th and 9th of August comes with cross-offshore winds and weak energy – not a good time.
If you’re into kitesurfing, those stronger cross-offshore winds in the second week might be your thing, but for a paddle surfer, this is a desert. The long stretch of nothing is rough, but it’s just the way it goes sometimes around here.
Get on that Saturday morning at Duppys. It’s your only real shot. After that, you’re waiting for a change.

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.
