Duppys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Duppys.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak run ahead. The forecast covers the next 16 days, starting from Tuesday the 28th of July, but there’s a long stretch of nothing worthwhile at the start. From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell is flat – just zero energy, and those easterly winds are pumping at 19 to 22 mph. The water’s glassy, sure, but with no waves, it’s a waste of a look.

Then we get a small flicker of life from Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Tiny pulses of northerly swell roll in, with heights around just 0.3 ft and weak energy readings. That’s not enough to push a surfboard. The wind stays offshore or cross-off, so the conditions are clean, but the ocean’s basically a pond.

Thursday the 6th of August shows the biggest bump of the whole run, but even then it’s marginal. We see a 2 ft swell from the northeast, with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate wave energy hitting 76. That’s weak. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, and with those onshore-cross winds and fresh breeze, it’s looking more like a kite session than a paddle session. Not worth a paddle out for a surfer.

From Friday the 7th onward, it’s back to tiny. The combined energy stays in the single digits to low twenties. The best day after the 6th might be Monday the 10th of August, with a 1 ft northeast swell and periods around 10 seconds, but the energy’s only 23. You’d be scratching around for anything rideable.

All through, the water temperature anomaly isn’t mentioned, so it’s not unusual for the time of year.

Overall, there’s no standout here. Nothing close to a true good day. For an advanced break like Duppys, which is fairly consistent and exposed to the north, this is a real dry spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home and come back in a couple of weeks.

Rusty.
