The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Duppys. This is a reef break for the advanced crew, and it needs a northerly swell to light up. Right now, we’re staring down a long flat spell.
From Friday morning, August 21st, all the way through to September 4th, it’s mostly tiny surf – 0.3ft to 1.0ft at best – with periods all over the shop. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 50 (like 10 or 40). The wind is often cross-off or offshore, keeping things clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. The water temperature is 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The only real chance to get in the water comes on Thursday afternoon, September 4th. We’ve got a moderate offshore breeze from the east at 12 mph, with a 3ft swell from the ENE, short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 89 (moderate, but just barely). The notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – that’s the best of a bad lot. The morning of the 4th has a bit more energy at 120 (moderate) with 3ft from the ENE and the same short period.
After that, it drops back to nothing. No real standouts. Duppys is fairly consistent, but this stretch just isn’t delivering. If you’re keen, the 4th of September afternoon is your only window – otherwise, keep the board in the car.

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.
