Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Duppys.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: the next sixteen days are a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system.
From Saturday the 4th right through to the end of the second week, the story is pretty much the same: tiny, inconsistent pulses of swell, mostly from the north, with heights that barely register. The combined energy is next to nothing, often sitting in single digits or low teens – we’re talking 2, 3, 11, maybe a high of 22 on the afternoon of Wednesday the 8th. That’s weak, weak energy. The wind is a constant easterly breeze, mostly cross-off or cross-shore, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s simply no power behind it. Even when we get a short window of offshore wind on the morning of Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th, or Wednesday the 8th, it’s like polishing a turd – there’s no wave to groom.
The only wave that even shows up is a tiny 1ft, 12-second pulse from the northeast on the afternoon of Wednesday the 8th, but with a combined energy of just 22, it’s barely a bump. By the time we get to that second week, from the 11th onwards, it’s just a ghost town. The swell direction is all over the place – north, NNE – but with heights between 0.3ft and 0.7ft, it doesn’t matter. The period is all over the shop too, from 9 to 13 seconds, but there’s no height to make use of it.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. Not a single day worth paddling out for. This is a blank run, and for a spot like Duppys, that’s a pretty normal thing when the swell windows are shut. You’d need a kite and a prayer to get moving out there. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
