The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a pretty lean run ahead. We’ve got a bit of surf to start the week, then a long, dry spell that stretches all the way from the afternoon of Monday the 28th of July right through to Friday the 31st. After that, there’s a little window of fun sized waves around the weekend of the 1st of August, but then it goes quiet again for the bulk of the second week.

For Sunday the 26th, we’re looking at Duppys. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and handles a north swell best. The morning will see some messy conditions with a risk of thunderstorms and a 9 mph ESE breeze blowing offshore, which is a big plus for clean faces. Swell is coming through at 4 ft from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds, so the energy level is moderate (170). It’s surfable, but the quality isn’t anything to write home about.

By the afternoon, that wind swings more ENE and picks up to 12 mph, turning cross-offshore. The swell drops off, and conditions go pretty ordinary. Monday the 27th morning holds similar 3 ft ENE swell with a cross-off breeze at 16 mph, but again, it’s not firing. By Monday afternoon, the swell dies completely.

Then we hit a big gap. From Monday the 28th of July right through to the afternoon of Thursday the 31st of July, there is nothing worth paddling out for. The ocean basically goes flat with only tiny scraps of swell – mostly under 0.7 ft. Winds stay fresh and cross-offshore, but there’s just no wave energy to work with.

Finally, on the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July, we see a pulse starting to show. Duppys picks up a 6 ft ENE swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (407). Winds are 12 mph from the east, cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. It’s still only a marginal call though – tide could be an issue.

The standout window comes on Saturday the 1st of August. Morning sees 5 ft swell from the ENE, period stretching to 10 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph. The combined energy is solid at 419. This is the best of the bunch – good shape, clean faces, and a proper groundswell feel. That long period will mean better lines on this reef, with longer lulls between sets making it easier to get out the back. The afternoon holds similar 5 ft swell and an offshore breeze, just a bit shorter period at 9 seconds. This is the one to aim for if you’re keen.

After that, it’s mostly flat again. A few tiny pulses of 1 ft to 1 ft pop up around the 8th and 9th of August, but with fresh cross-offshore winds, there’s not enough energy to make it worthwhile.

Water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. Crowds can be a thing at Duppys sometimes, but with this kind of forecast, it won’t be busy.

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.
