The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Duppys over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I'll be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak stretch for this reef. The whole 16-day window from now through to the start of August is basically a flat spell. The water's sitting around 83°F at the start, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off on Saturday 18 July with barely a ripple – 0.3ft of swell from the north, period a meagre 8 seconds, and a cross-off breeze blowing 22 mph. The combined energy is a pathetic 1. That's about as weak as it gets. The whole first week is like that: tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves, mostly from the north or northeast, with periods between 8 and 9 seconds. Winds are cross-off or just offshore, but there's nothing to ride. The energy stays in the single digits or low teens. On Wednesday 22 July morning we get a brief offshore from the east at 19 mph, but the swell is only 0.7ft – still rubbish.
There's a slight spike on Thursday 23 July afternoon: 4ft from the northeast with a short 6-second period and combined energy of 94. That's the biggest number we see, but it's still a messy, weak little windswell with cross-off winds. Not worth getting excited about.
Then from Friday 24 July right through to Sunday 2 August, it's a straight run of zeros – no swell at all. A few offshore mornings pop up, like on 28 July and 30 July, but there's nothing to push. The last few days of July and into August show tiny 0.3ft waves from the north with moderate offshore winds, but the energy is barely 2 or 5. On 2 August we get 1ft from the east-northeast at 10 seconds, with fresh offshore wind and combined energy of 39 – still far from surfable.
So here's the deal: Duppys is a reef break that's fairly consistent normally, but this run is a total dud. There's nothing worth paddling out for. The conditions are clean enough at times, but you need water moving. This is one of those quiet spells where you might as well leave the board in the car. Forecasts can change, but right now it's a solid no-go.
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.
