The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and here is your local surf outlook for Duppys. No messing around, just what's coming.
First up, we’ve got a real flat spell ahead for the next sixteen days. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, there's a big gap in the action. This Tuesday morning we are looking at some small, short-period wind swell rolling in from the ENE. It’s 3 feet, but with a weak, low period of just 7 seconds, the wave energy is weak (83). The water is sitting at 82°, pretty much average for this time of year. We’ve got a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE which will hold it together, so for a Tuesday, it’s clean but pretty ordinary conditions.
Don't get too excited for Tuesday afternoon because it stays small and weak, just that same short period 3 feet ENE wind swell. Then we hit the wall. Wednesday through to the end of the month is almost completely flat. There is a brief uptick on Friday the 24th afternoon; a bit more swell energy picks up to 5 feet from the ENE, with a combined energy of (226), but the wind goes cross-offshore, which kills it for us. There’s a moment later on Saturday the 25th afternoon that’s worth a look, same 5 feet swell, but because the wind swings back offshore and the model says the conditions are good, you might find a few. But that’s it. That’s the only real positive window in the whole first ten days.
Honestly, the rest of July and the first week of August are a flat-out blank. There are a few tiny pulses in the first week of August, like a 0.6 feet NNE swell on the 5th, but it’s cross-off wind and nothing surfable. It’s a long, dry run. The pattern here tends to stay poor for a while when it goes this quiet, so I wouldn’t hold my breath for a sudden change. For a reef break that usually handles a good N swell, this stretch is a bummer.
For the standout, the best you’re going to get is the Saturday afternoon on the 25th of July at Duppys. It won’t be epic, but with the 5 feet ENE groundswell and a moderate offshore breeze, it should offer up a couple of fun ones for the more experienced surfers out there. It’s a pretty inconsistent spot, so don’t go expecting a non-stop party.
Signing off from the beach.

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.
