The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet, same story, different numbers.
This stretch is a tough one, to be honest. There’s a long quiet period out of the gate. For a full five days, from Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s basically no rideable swell. It’s just flat or close to it, with a stiff easterly breeze that’s mostly cross-off or just offshore, but with nothing to work with. The water temperature is sitting around 84°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning brings in a pulse of ENE swell at 5ft, coming from the ENE but with a short 8-second period and moderate wave energy (268). The wind is offshore from the SE – a nice clean setup. This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, and with the optimum direction from the north, this ENE pulse should wrap in nicely. The offshore wind will keep it glassy. Just a heads-up, crowds are sometimes an issue here.
After that morning, things drop off again. The afternoon on the 1st still has knee-to-waist high 4ft surf, but the energy drops (197) and verdict is ordinary. Sunday the 2nd is flat again, and Monday the 3rd only sees a brief flicker of 4ft in the afternoon with a 7-second period (155 energy), but the quality isn’t there.
There are a few more weak pulses through the first half of the second week – small stuff around 3ft to 4ft – but it’s all accompanied by fresh easterly winds, mostly cross-off, and the wave comments all say poor. The swell period stays short, mostly 7 to 10 seconds. There’s a little spike of moderate energy on the 12th of August morning (107 energy, 2ft), but the conditions are described as “very ordinary.”
Bottom line: if you’re after a paddle, Saturday the 1st of August morning is the only real window that’s worth getting wet for. After that, it’s a whole lot of small, windy, and uninspiring. For the record, none of these options look good for beginners – the 5ft is right on that edge, and the reef break adds a layer of risk.

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.
