The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards.
Alright folks, if you're sitting on the beach at Duppys waiting for a wave, you're going to be waiting a long while. The next 16 days look pretty bleak. We're looking at a long stretch of hardly any swell at all. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Monday, August 10th. That's over a week away. Until then, it’s flat.
Let’s be honest, the best this place is going to get in the whole run is Monday afternoon, the 10th. You’ll see some tiny 3ft NE windswell, but the period is only 6 seconds – that's short and weak. The combined energy is still only 96, so it's weak. The wind is straight offshore from the East though, so it might be glassy clean. It's a reef break, so that offshore breeze will help. The water temperature is sitting at 83.7°, which is about normal for this time of year. It's a "surfable" wave, but it's ordinary. There's not much else to get excited about. The next day, Tuesday the 11th, the swell is similar, but the wind goes cross-offshore, so it won't be as clean.
After that, it drops right back off into the tiny stuff again. The wind picks up to a strong breeze through the second week, but with barely any swell, it’s just going to be choppy. For a spot that is fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. Nothing here for anyone, not even a kite surfer would be interested in this. It’s a waiting game.

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.
