The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Duppys. Straight up, I’m looking at a long, flat spell. The waves are tiny and the energy is weak as dishwater. The better news is that the wind is almost always offshore or cross-offshore, so when there is something to ride, it’ll be clean. But that’s a big “if.” We’ve got a serious gap coming up.

Right now, starting Wednesday the 9th, we’re seeing a small 2ft swell from the NNE with a mediocre 10-second period. The combined energy is a measly 93 (weak energy). The wind is a fresh 19 mph easterly, cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the waves themselves are just too small to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for this time of year here.

That small, poor-quality surf carries on through the rest of the week and into the next. Thursday the 10th drops to 1ft, Friday the 11th is 1ft again, and by Saturday the 12th we’re at 1.0ft. All with that same fresh cross-offshore wind. The energy numbers are in the teens and twenties—basically nothing. Sunday the 13th is the worst of it, with a 0.7ft swell and combined energy of just 4 (weak energy). You’d be better off waxing the living room floor.

Then we get a bit of a pulse on Monday the 14th, with a 2ft swell from the ENE, but it’s still poor quality. Tuesday the 15th afternoon sees a spike to 4ft from the ENE, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds. The energy jumps to 163 (moderate wave energy), but with that short period and the “poor surf conditions” label, it’s going to be a messy, crumbly mess. Not worth the paddle.

From Wednesday the 16th through to the end of the forecast, it’s back to the doldrums. Swells between 0.3ft and 2ft, with periods that finally get long (up to 16 seconds on the 16th), but the energy is too low to do anything. The wind stays offshore or cross-offshore, so the water will be glassy, but you’re looking at barely a ripple.

Honestly, for the first week and a half, there’s close to nothing. The best window, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Tuesday the 15th, but with a 4ft, 7-second ENE swell, it’s more of a lumpy mess than a proper wave. Duppys is a reef break, so sometimes a longer period groundswell can make it work, but there’s just no size or consistency here.

Hang in there, but don’t expect any magic for a while. This is a rare stretch of flatness. Things can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.

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.
