The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Duppys is a reef break, and it’s for advanced guys only. It’s fairly consistent, but the forecast is a real letdown for the most part. Water temp is up at 84°F, which is normal for the season.
The first real sign of life is on Thursday the 30th of July, but it’s a total dud. A fresh cross-offshore breeze at 22 mph and no swell at all. Friday the 31st is the same: gentle offshore wind, but zero surf. It’s a slow start.
Finally, on Saturday the 1st of August, we get a pulse. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the ENE with a short 8-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze blowing clean. The combined energy is moderate at 228, and it’s looking like good surf conditions. This is the only real standout in the whole outlook. Duppys will be clean and fun. The afternoon drops a little to 4ft, but it’s still surfable.
After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From Sunday the 2nd of August all the way through to the 14th of August, it’s a mess of tiny swell, strong cross-offshore winds, and flat spells. The combined energy numbers are mostly in the single digits or low teens. A few days like the 9th of August show a 3ft to 4ft short-period swell, but with a fresh cross-offshore wind at 19 mph, it’s just not worth it. The forecast keeps saying “poor surf conditions,” and that’s the truth.
Your only real shot is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. The rest of the 16 days is a long, empty stretch.

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.
