Alright, let me tell ya, it’s Rusty here, and we’re looking at Duppys. Straight up, I gotta be real with you: this forecast is a tough one. For the next two weeks and a bit, we are looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is just not showing up. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead.
Looking at the chart, the first real blip of energy doesn't even appear until Tuesday the 7th of July, and even then it’s just a tiny 0.3 ft pulse from the north with a period of 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 2. Don’t get your hopes up. That little bump fades in and out over the next few days, with the most we see being a very modest 1.3 ft from the NE on Thursday the 9th of July, with period up to 11 seconds and energy hitting 38 at the afternoon session. It’s all labelled "poor surf conditions" though, so even that tiny window is a long shot.
The wind is a persistent problem here. It’s blowing cross-off from the East or ENE, and it’s fresh, sitting around 18 to 22 mph for most of the period. That’s going to chop up any tiny bump we get. We do see a shift to a straight offshore wind from the East on Saturday the 18th of July, but by then the swell is all but gone, barely registering 0.3 ft from the north with a period of 8 seconds. It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The whole outlook is a bit of a bummer. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a true flat spell. You’d need a lot of patience, because for the next two weeks nothing is breaking the 1.5 ft mark. There’s no standout session here, not a single one I’d tell you to paddle out for. It’s a write-off, I’m afraid. Hang up the board for a bit.

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.
