Alright, let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. This outlook for Duppys is a tough one. The next couple of weeks are looking flat and pretty hopeless for any decent surf. We’ve got a big gap coming up with nothing worthwhile to recommend.
The pattern kicks off with a long stretch of poor surf conditions. From Thursday the 9th right through until Monday the 14th of July, there’s barely a ripple. The swell energy is sitting at zero or just a few points (0 to 18), with tiny waves around 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft, mostly from the north or north-northeast. The winds are a fresh breeze from the east or east-northeast, mostly cross-off, which would keep things tidy, but there’s just no swell to work with. The water temp is about 83°F, with an anomaly of 0.9°F, so it’s pretty normal for this time of year – not a factor to save us here.
We move through the middle of the month and it’s more of the same. From Tuesday the 15th right through to Sunday the 20th, the swell stays tiny – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft – and wave energy is weak, barely hitting double digits (2 to 8). The period on these is short, mainly 7 to 10 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves if any. Winds stay fresh from the east or east-northeast, cross-off, so the ocean looks clean, but it's just flat. There’s a brief moment on the 12th where we get a tiny 0.7 ft from the north with a period of 12 seconds, giving a bit of energy (11), but it’s still not enough to get excited about.
The second week, the last few days of the window, from the 21st through the 24th, it’s much the same story. Tiny swell – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft – and energy levels bottom out again (2 to 7). The winds finally ease a little by Thursday the 24th of July, going moderate offshore from the ESE and east, which would give clean conditions, but the swell is still tiny. The best we see is on the afternoon of the 24th, with a 1 ft wave from the northeast at 7 seconds, but the energy is only 13 - that's barely a bump.
Look, I hate to say it, but there are no standouts here. Not one session in the whole 16 days offers anything that a surfer would call a proper wave. It’s a long, frustrating flat spell. This is just one of those times where you’ve gotta wait it out. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a bust.
Stay patient.

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.
