The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good hard look at what’s coming down the line for this spot. I gotta be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle.
The pattern setting up for the 16-day window is a long, flat spell with only a couple of glimmers. From now, we’ve got some small, wind-affected waves on Friday and Saturday, but it’s not worth your time. After a short pulse early next week, we then hit a real dry patch. From Sunday the 28th of July all the way through until the morning of Saturday the 1st of August, there’s just no surf on offer. That’s a big gap.
The only real standout comes in on the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. Duppys will see a small pulse of ENE swell at 4ft, coming from direction ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. It’s not going to be huge, but combined swell energy reads at 223, which is a decent bit of push for the size. The wind will be cross-offshore from the east at 15 mph, keeping the surface fairly clean. With this break being an exposed reef, it can handle a bit of swell like this, but keep in mind the crowd factor – Duppys can get busy. For a bit of a long-range promise, this is your best shot, but it’s not a guarantee. After that morning, the afternoon drops off.
Before that, the only other mentionable day is Saturday afternoon, July 25th. It’s not great, but with a 5ft swell and wind going offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, the conditions will be clean. Energy is 244, which is moderate. It’s lukewarm though, and the morning before is pretty rough.
It’s a tough run, lads. A few days with some potential for clean small waves, but mostly a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, so don’t fully write it off just yet.
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.
