The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one.
First up, we’re looking at Duppys. This is a reef break, exposed to the swell and it’s fairly consistent. The water temp is sitting right on 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, the honest truth? The first few days are a complete write-off. We’ve got nothing from Friday (31 July) through to Monday afternoon (3 August) – just a big fat zero for surf. The wind is howling from the east and southeast, kicking up a ruckus, but there’s simply no swell to work with. It’s a frustrating gap, but it happens.
Things start to flicker to life on Saturday morning, 1 August. We get a pulse of 4ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 15 mph, which will keep the faces clean. The combined energy is moderate at 228. It’s not a monster, but it’s the first real chance to get wet. The swell direction is ENE, which is close to the optimum N direction, so it’ll wrap in okay. This is your best bet in the whole outlook, and it’s the only standout. The Saturday morning session is the one to aim for.
After that, it’s a long, slow slide into tiny, weak waves. From Sunday (2 August) right through to Thursday (13 August), we’re looking at knee-to-waist high slop, mostly under 2ft, with periods all over the shop. The wind keeps blowing from the east, mostly cross-off or cross, so it’s not messy, but there’s just no power. The combined energy stays weak, often below 100. It’s surfable on a log, but you’ll be scratching for anything with a push.
Thursday morning (13 August) is the only other faint glimmer – we get a combined energy of 56 and an offshore wind, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s described as “surfable but very ordinary,” and I can’t argue with that. The rest of the window into mid-August is just more of the same: tiny, weak, and forgettable.
So, if you’re keen, make the call for Saturday morning, 1 August. That’s the only time Duppys will have any real life. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of flat spells and small dribble.
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.
