The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Duppys. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one.

We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, small conditions. The whole first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. From Thursday the 3rd through to about Monday the 14th, we’re talking tiny, weak swells. For most of that period, the combined energy is in the single digits or low double digits (119, 136, 10, 2, 1, 17, 33, 82, 97, 101, 97, 46, 37, 47, 28, 33, 24, 20, 19, 20, 40), which is basically nothing. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which is a tease, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s going to be a frustrating wait.

The first real sign of life comes on Tuesday the 15th of September. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 157. That’s moderate energy, but the wind is a fresh offshore from the SE, which will keep the surface clean. It’s still not a standout, but it’s the first time we’ve had something to paddle for. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so the stinger suit is optional.

Then, on Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, we get a bit of a pulse again. Wednesday morning has a 4ft swell from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds and good offshore wind from the E. The energy is moderate at 197. Not perfect, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen in the whole run. For a reef break like Duppys, the long-period stuff (over 11 seconds) can make it tricky, but here we’re in the 8-9 second range, so it should be more user-friendly.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are the only windows. Don’t expect anything epic. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, blowy mess. This is one of those times where the forecast can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d be planning a fishing trip.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
