The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Well, I gotta be honest with you, this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for the Duppys (reef) lineup. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for proper surf. The first real sniff of anything happening isn't until the 15th of September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
The water temp is sitting at a balmy 85°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a long dry spell from now until the 14th of September. That’s a solid ten days of tiny, weak swells with barely any energy. The combined energy values are all in the single or low double digits, which is just flat. The wind is mostly a moderate to fresh breeze from the east, keeping things clean, but with swell heights barely reaching 2 ft, there’s nothing to ride.
Now, on the 14th of September (Monday afternoon), we finally see a bit of a pulse. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 113, which is moderate but that’s about it. Conditions are clean with a moderate breeze, but the whole setup is still "poor surf conditions." It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout.
The only day that offers a flicker of hope is the 15th of September (Tuesday). The morning session sees a 3 ft swell from the ENE, period of 8 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the east. The combined energy is 73. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s as good as it gets in this window. The offshore wind will keep it clean, but the swell is small and short-period. It’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re desperate, Tuesday morning is your only shot.
The rest of the 16 days just fades back into tiny, weak swells with moderate to fresh offshore winds, but nothing with any size or power. The combined energy drops back to low numbers, and the surf is consistently rated as "poor."
So, there you have it. A long, flat run with one very ordinary, average day on the 15th. Nothing to get excited about, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
