The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for Duppys over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's gonna be a long, quiet stretch. We’re looking at an extended period of tiny, weak surf that's basically not worth paddling out for. The first real swell we get is small and weak, and it’s gonna be a while before we see anything fun.

Right now and for the next many days, it's a frustrating scene. The water's warm, about 85°, which is pretty average for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The swell energy is pitiful, with combined readings from the 10th of September barely breaking into double digits – we’re talking a meagre 47 for the morning of the 10th and then dropping down to teens and twenties. Tiny waves from the NNE all under 1ft, with periods that bounce around. It's cross-offshore wind constantly, which at least keeps the surface clean, but there's no push in the water to make anything happen.

We’ve got a real dead patch here. The swell gets so small that on the 23rd of September, the morning has literally zero wave data – a total flat spell. Even the afternoons with a little bump, like the 21st (2ft from the ENE), are barely a ripple and the period is short, around 7-8 seconds.

The only glimmer of hope shows itself a fair way out. Around the 18th of September, we start to see a bit of an uptick. In the morning, the combined energy climbs to 51 with a 1ft NNE swell and a period of 12 seconds, and by afternoon we get a similar 1ft pulse at 13 seconds giving us 55 in energy. It’s still tiny, but at this stage it’s the biggest we've got. And the wind goes clean offshore from the E, which is a big positive. Still, even then, the rating for this spot is advanced reef, and these are not the kind of waves you want to risk it on. It stays tiny through the weekend, with the 21st offering up a max 2ft swell from the ENE, but with a period of 7-8 seconds that just doesn't have any grunt.

So, what's the verdict? This is a tough one. There is genuinely no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. The whole period is a write-off for a proper session. It's just a lot of clean, but powerless water. With such a consistent lack of size and energy, this is more of a blank season than a surprise. Keep the board in the car shed and maybe focus on something else.

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.
