The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break down Duppys. It’s a reef break that works best on a north swell, exposed and ready to grab whatever rolls in. Water temp is about 84°F, right where it should be for this time of year.

Look, the first week is mostly a bust. Sunday the 9th is your only real shout. Morning’s a storm risk, wind out of the ESE at 16 mph, offshore, but only a 1 ft NNE swell with an 8-second period. Energy is weak (34). Afternoon’s better: the swell hits 5 ft from the ENE, period drops to 7 seconds, wind stays offshore at 16 mph, and the energy kicks up to moderate (204). It’s messy but rideable—your best bet in the early days.

Monday the 10th through Thursday the 13th is flat, choppy, and forgettable. Friday the 14th brings near-gale winds (31 mph) and tiny surf. Not a chance.

Now, here’s the big one. Saturday the 15th sees the swell jump to 8 ft from the ENE, period 8 seconds, with strong energy (829). That’s proper size—too big for beginners, expert territory only. Problem is, the wind is cross-off at 22 mph and the conditions are reported as poor. Same story Sunday the 16th with 7 to 7 ft and similar energy. If you’re a skilled surfer and the tide plays ball, there could be a few, but it’s not clean.

After that, Monday the 17th gives you a tiny 3 ft NNE swell with light 6 mph breezes—surfable but nothing special. From Tuesday the 18th onward, it’s flat and poor all the way to the end.

So, if you’re itching for a paddle, Sunday afternoon the 9th is your cleanest small-wave window. For power, Saturday the 15th to Sunday the 16th offers the most size, but cross-off winds and short periods keep it from being a standout. This kind of dry spell isn’t unusual here, but it won’t last forever.

Rusty.

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.
