Duppys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Duppys.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long dry spell from now until the end of July with tiny, weak swell and nothing really worth paddling out for. The energy just isn’t there. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until late in the second week, but it’s still looking pretty marginal.

The only window that gets my heart beating a little faster is around the 24th and 25th of July. Saturday afternoon the 25th is the standout. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy reaches 256 (moderate). The wind goes clean offshore out of the east at 16 mph, so the surface should be glassy. That’s your best bet for a proper session. The wave height is solid but not out of control, so it’s a good one for intermediate to advanced surfers. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is spot on for this time of year.

The Friday afternoon before that, the 24th, is also worth a mention with 5ft and 240 of energy, but the tide and conditions are a bit more questionable. The Saturday morning of the 25th is slightly smaller at 5ft.

After that, the swell drops off hard again. Sunday the 26th has some 4ft waves but the conditions are ordinary, and then from the 27th right through to the 5th of August, it’s flat as a pancake with zero surf. The very end of the run, around the 4th and 5th of August, shows a tiny 0.7ft pulse from the north with a long period over 11 seconds, but that’s just a whisper. The energy is 11 or less, so it’s not going to do anything.

So, to sum it up: the whole 16 days is mostly a bust. The only real bright spot is Saturday the 25th of July afternoon. Mark it in your calendar, but don’t hold your breath for much else.

Rusty.
