The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to it. Duppys is lookin’ real quiet over these next 16 days. Not much worth paddlin’ out for.
From Friday the 4th right through to Sunday the 13th, it’s basically flat. Swell heights are tiny, from 0.3ft to 2ft, with combined energy mostly in the low single digits up to about 102. The wind’s comin’ out of the E and ESE at 12 to 22 mph, cleanin’ it up with offshore and cross-off breezes, but there’s just no grunt. Water temp is 85°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Then on Monday the 14th, we get a little bump. Swell hits 4ft from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds. Combined energy hits 150 (moderate). Mornin’ wind is offshore from the SE at 16 mph, and then it goes cross-off from the ENE in the afternoon. Still, the surf is rated as poor—that short period means weak, messy waves. It’s okay for a beginner size, but the quality is not there.
After that, we drop off again. Tuesday the 15th has a small window in the afternoon: 3ft from the ENE, period of 7 seconds, and light offshore winds from the E at 9 mph. Combined energy is 107 (weak to moderate). The file says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s the highlight, and it ain’t much. The rest of the week fades back to tiny, weak surf with combined energy in the single digits.
There’s no standout here. No real swell, no quality, no consistency. Duppys is a fairly consistent reef break, so this is a rough patch. If you’re itchin’ for a session, the afternoon of Tuesday the 15th is your only real option, but keep your expectations real low. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
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.
