The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm here to give you the honest, no-bull truth about the surf ahead. Let's get into it.

Alright, mates, I'm looking at the next sixteen days, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a lean run. The only spot that gets a mention is Duppys, a reef break that's more of a specialist's wave. For the first five days, from Thursday the 20th of August to Monday the 24th of August, it's a total write-off. We're talking a measly 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft of swell, mostly from the north, with a weak, short-period energy reading of just 5 to 15. The wind's a cross-off from the east, but when the swell is that small, you're just bobbing around. The water's sitting at 84°, which is right on the money for this time of year.

Then, on Monday afternoon, the 24th of August, things get a little interesting. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east-northeast, with a moderate energy reading of 136. The wind switches to a true offshore from the east-southeast, which is a major positive – it'll be clean. The period is only 7 seconds, so it's a short, weak wind swell, but it's the only window of "surfable waves" in the whole forecast. That's the one to watch, but it's not a classic.

The rest of the run is grim. From Tuesday the 25th through to Friday the 4th of September, we're back to tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2 ft, with the occasional bump in late August and early September, but nothing that breaks the "poor surf conditions" mark. The energy levels are mostly in the low double digits, and the wind is almost always a cross-off. There's a brief moment on the 30th of August with a fresh offshore wind, but the swell is only 1 ft.

Forget about any standouts here. The only real highlight is that Monday afternoon window, but it's short, weak, and the break is a reef that can be pretty fickle. Duppys is exposed to the north, and the swell direction is mostly off that, but the size just isn't there. The period is short, so don't expect much push. Honestly, for a couple of days there, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.

So, the summary is: one tiny window of surfable, but ordinary, conditions on the 24th, and then a whole lot of flat and small. It's a dry spell, and for the area, those blank runs happen. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't be holding my breath.

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.
