The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about what’s happening at Duppys.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle at this spot. We’ve got a massive gap here with no real surf to get excited about. From now, Thursday the 27th of August, all the way through to the end of the first week of September, it’s mostly just poor conditions. You’re looking at a solid week-plus of tiny, weak slop or just messy, blown-out junk. The swell is mostly small, with heights barely scraping 2ft to 4ft for days on end, and the wind is often a messy cross-off or just too strong. There’s a brief pulse on Saturday the 29th with a 5ft swell from the ENE, but that period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s just lumpy and weak – and the forecast is marginal at best. That’s not enough to get me out of bed.
Then Sunday the 30th of August finally shows some life. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the wind is offshore from the ESE. But even then, it’s only a marginal call – the quality is still not fully on point, and you’ve got to be an experienced surfer for that size. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but I wouldn’t call it a standout.
After that, it’s back to tiny dribble and strong, frustrating winds for the rest of the run into mid-September. There’s practically nothing rideable from the 31st of August right through to the 11th of September. A few days show clean conditions with offshore wind, but the swell is pitiful – 0.3ft to 0.7ft. You’d be floating, not surfing.
The water temperature is around 84°F, which is within the normal range for this time of year, so at least a tropical dip is nice, but the waves just aren’t there.
Bottom line: If you’re set on Duppys, the only window worth even a second look is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August for a bigger, cleaner set. For everything else, save your energy. This is a long, quiet 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.
