The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and here's the surf outlook for your local region.
Alright, looking at the charts over the next couple of weeks, it's a bit of a slow start for Duppys. We've got a solid run of small, weak conditions before a pulse of energy shows up a week out. The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of something to get excited about lands on the 15th of August. That Saturday morning, the swell jumps up to 8ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 976 (moderate wave energy), but it's a fresh offshore breeze from the E, so it'll be clean. Keep in mind this is a reef break, and with waves over 8ft, this is firmly in the expert-only zone. The wind is offshore, which is a major positive, and the swell direction from the ENE matches the optimum for Duppys, which is from the N. It's a fairly consistent spot, so expect it to be a proper, heavy session for the experienced crew. The afternoon of the 15th drops a bit to 8ft, still with clean conditions, but the wind goes cross-offshore.
Sunday the 16th of August still has some size, around 7ft from the ENE in the morning, with a clean cross-off wind. The energy is still high at 764. The afternoon on the 16th drops right off though, so the morning is your window.
After that, it's a long, drawn-out period of small, weak surf. There are a few days, like the 19th and 20th of August, with waist-high waves, but they're accompanied by poor conditions or just mediocre energy. The best of a bad bunch is the 20th of August afternoon, with a 3ft swell from the ENE and a light offshore wind, making for clean little waves. It's surfable, but you won't be telling stories about it. The pattern then stays flat and weak right through to the end of the forecast window.
So, to sum it up: the standout is the morning of the 15th of August. Big, powerful, clean, and heavy. After that, it's a long wait for any real quality. The last week of the forecast is pretty much a write-off for anything decent.
Stay salty,
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.
