The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in the water for the next couple of weeks.
We’re staring down a pretty rough patch to start. From now up through about July 24th, Duppys is pretty much flat. A few tiny bumps of 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft from the NNE, with a weak period of 8 to 9 seconds. The wind is cross-off or offshore, which is nice, but there’s no wave to ride. The combined energy is a measly 5 to 9. It’s a tough go.
Then, on July 26th, we finally get a pulse. Sunday morning brings a 5 ft swell from the ENE, with an 8-second period. The wind is offshore from the ESE, promising clean conditions. The combined energy hits 250 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we’ve seen. The water’s at 82°F, pretty normal for this time of year. This is your standout window. The afternoon of the 26th still has a 4 ft swell but the wind goes cross-off, and the forecast is a bit sketchy. After that, it’s flat again from the 27th to August 2nd.
For the second week, keep an eye on Monday, August 3rd. The morning has 3 ft swell from the ENE with a short 8-second period and cross-off wind. But the afternoon is the one to watch: the wind swings offshore, the swell is still 3 ft from the ENE, but the period bumps up to 10 seconds, giving a combined energy of 202 (moderate wave energy). It’s a long way out, so don’t book the trip yet, but it’s a clean little window.
So, the best bet is the morning of July 26th for the biggest, cleanest surf. The afternoon of August 3rd is the long-range gamble for a cleaner, more manageable wave. Duppys is a reliable reef, but crowds can show up sometimes, so expect a few paddlers.
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.
