Duppys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this next 16 days at Duppys is a bit of a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak surf, and honestly, there’s no standout session to get excited about. The whole period is a write-off for proper waves.

The first sign of any kind of energy doesn’t show until Wednesday, July 8th, and even then it’s tiny. Wednesday morning sees a 0.3ft swell from the north with a period of 9 seconds, but the combined energy is just a measly 2 (weak). By the afternoon, we get a slight bump to 1ft from the northeast with a 12-second period, pushing energy up to 22 (still weak). Thursday morning, July 9th, is the best of a bad bunch with a 1ft northeast swell, 11-second period, and energy at 30 (weak). But the wind is howling out of the east at 22 mph, making it a cross-off breeze. Not clean, not good.

After that, it’s back to flatness. The next few days show nothing but zeros or 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves with weak energy (9 to 29). The period jumps to 14 seconds on Saturday, July 11th, but the swell is still only 0.7ft, so it’s just a long-period ripple. There’s a brief moment late on Wednesday, July 15th, where the wind shifts offshore from the east at 19 mph, giving us a fresh offshore breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is still a pathetic 0.7ft with 10-second period and energy of 10 (weak). You’re better off staying home.

Duppys is a reef break exposed to the north, and it’s fairly consistent normally, but this run is a total dud. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For now, it’s a waiting game—forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
