Table - best surf conditions forecast for Duppys over the next 16 days.
Alright mate, I'll level with you. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a proper bummer. We're looking at a whole lot of flatness and frustration.
Duppys is the only spot on the radar, a reef break that faces north, and it's about as quiet as I've seen it. From Thursday the 9th through to almost the end of the month, there's nothing doing. The first week is a total dud, with combined swell energy barely hitting double digits (18). When there's a little bump, the swell height is tiny and the period is too short to hold any power. Plus, that cross-off wind is relentless, meaning the surface is blown out for any tiny wave that might show.
The one and only slightly less rubbish moment pops up on Tuesday the 21st of July in the afternoon. We might see a 1ft wave from the NE with a 9-second period, and the wind turns offshore. The energy is still weak (23). For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a shocking run. It's one of those times when the ocean just goes to sleep.
Bottom line: don't bother waxing up for a while. It's a long gap with no real surf. Things can change, but right now, it's a tough watch.

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.
