The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Duppys is going through the wringer. The next few days are a total bust. Wednesday the 12th starts with a 5ft swell from the ENE, but it’s short-period junk at 7 seconds, and that 30 km/h easterly offshore wind is blowing way too hard for any quality. The combined energy is 242 – moderate, but it’s messy. After that, it drops like a stone. From Thursday the 13th all the way through Monday the 24th, it’s flat and tiny – most waves under 2ft, with periods all over the shop and almost no energy. A long, boring gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling for.
But then, Tuesday the 25th of August finally lights up. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the ENE, 8 second period, with a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE at 20 km/h. The combined energy hits 423 – solid moderate – and that offshore wind keeps it clean. That’s the best morning of the whole run. The afternoon gets even bigger: 8ft from the ENE, period stretching to 11 seconds, and the energy jumps to 1674 – that’s strong. The wind is still offshore, but that size is strictly for experts, and the long period might make it a bit straight on the reef. Still, for the experienced crew, that afternoon session on the 25th is the real prize. The morning of the 25th is the smarter pick – cleaner, more manageable, and still a proper wave.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Wednesday the 26th goes flat again, and the 27th is just a tiny 0.3ft pulse. So the only real action is that window around the 25th. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but that’s where the hope is.
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.
