The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Duppys. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s a real barren patch coming, so don’t get your hopes up for much wave action.
We start off on Saturday the 1st of August with a small, weak 4ft swell from the ENE at a short 8 seconds. The water’s sitting at a warm 83°, which is basically average for this time of year. The problem is the wind, a cross-offshore breeze at a solid 16 mph. It’s making the surface look clean, but that combined swell energy is only a weak 165, and the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. That theme sticks around for days.
From Sunday the 2nd, it’s almost a ghost town. The swell drops to zero, and while we get some fresh offshore winds, there’s just nothing to ride. This flat spell stretches right through the first week. We see tiny pulses of 0.3ft to 0.7ft swell here and there – like on Wednesday the 5th, we get a 1ft NE swell with a short 7-second period, and even with fresh offshore winds, the combined energy is a pathetic 22. That’s not worth paddling out for.
The flatness continues into the second week. The swell nudges up a fraction – a 2ft NNE swell on Tuesday the 11th with an 8-second period and the energy creeping to 45 – but it’s still too small to be fun. The wind stays cross-off or offshore, but it’s gusty, with speeds hitting 19 to 22 mph. Even when the water’s clean, there’s no power behind it. By Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, it’s back to tiny 0.7ft waves or straight-up flat again, with a strong wind making it look more like a kite session than a surf.
The end of the outlook, from Saturday the 15th of August onward, is just dead. No swell, just strong winds and clean but empty ocean.
Honestly, there is no standout session here, not even one. Duppys is a reef break that is fairly consistent, but this 16-day forecast has a long gap of almost no surf at all. If you’re desperate, the best you could look at is Tuesday the 11th with the 2ft NNE swell, but that’s scraping the barrel. The water’s warm, but the waves are not. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a write-off for paddling. It’s a tough one, folks.
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.
