The Lowdown
Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next sixteen days. Gotta be straight with you, this is a lean stretch for Duppys. Most of the period is a write-off with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a long gap with basically nothing happening from the start right through until Saturday the 26th of July, and even then it's only a flicker of life.
Alright, so the first real whisper of a wave shows up on Saturday the 26th of July in the afternoon. Duppys is a reef break, advanced level, and it's fairly consistent when it goes. It's exposed to the swell but the optimum direction is from the north. That afternoon we see a small 5ft swell rolling in from the ENE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 256 (moderate) and while the wind is offshore from the ESE, it's a bit fresh at 25 mph. The water temp is sitting at a very average 82° for the time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a marginal call, but it's the best we've seen so far.
After that little tease on Saturday, it goes quiet again. There's a tiny pulse on Saturday the 1st of August with a 0.3ft northerly swell and combined energy of just 2 (weak). Honestly, not worth paddling out for. The wind is offshore in the morning from the east at 15 mph, so the conditions would be clean, but there's no power in the water. That same weak northerly energy just kind of lingers as tiny bumps through to the 5th of August.
There is a modest uptick on Tuesday the 5th of August in the morning. We get a 3ft swell from the NE, period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 61 (weak). Wind is cross-off from the ENE at 15 mph, so it'd be clean, but it’s still tiny. Nothing here that gets the heart racing.
The best of a pretty flat bunch comes in on Thursday the 7th of August. The morning sees a 2ft swell from the NNE with a 9-second period. Combined energy is 46 (weak), but the wind is offshore from the ESE at about 19 mph, so the surface would be pretty tidy. It’s still small, but if you're desperate for a slide and you’re sharp on a bigger board, that's your window. By the afternoon it's still offshore but the swell drops further. After that, it returns to flatness through to the end of the forecast.
Overall, this is a long dry spell. Don't get your hopes up for anything decent. It’s just one of those periods where the ocean is taking a nap.

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.
