The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local outlook for Duppys.

So, overall, Duppys is lookin' mostly flat for a solid stretch, a real quiet spell with barely a ripple. The water temp is sittin' right around average for the time of year at 84°F, so nothin' to complain about there. The next couple of weeks are gonna be a test of patience, with the only real pulse of swell worth paddlin' out for comin' in about a week's time, but even that's a mixed bag.

We start with a whole lot of nothin'. From Tuesday the 18th right through until the morning of Monday the 24th of August, it's just poor surf or flatness. You're lookin' at a solid week with waves barely reachin' your ankle, if that. Winds are mostly cross-off or straight offshore, but there's just no energy in the water to do anything with it.

Then, on Monday the 24th of August, it gets interesting for a hot second, but not in a good way for most of us. Monday morning shows a big jump: a 10ft swell, comin' from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1380 (strong to very strong wave energy). The problem is, the report says it's predicted to be too big for this break. That's a day for the pro crew only or the tow-in boys, far too heavy for a beginner and even a challenge for the average surfer. The afternoon session on that day goes completely flat.

After that big pulse, things drop right back to nothing for days. The morning of the 26th of August (Wednesday) offers a tiny glimmer. We get a 4ft ENE swell with a period of 8 seconds and light offshore winds from the SE. The combined energy is 209 (moderate wave energy). The forecast says "expect good surf conditions" and it gets a score that says it's worth a look. This is the standout session for the whole period, but it's not a world-beater. The swell direction is from the ENE, which is cross-off for Duppys optimum N direction, so the shape might be a little wonky. A mellow wave for a quiet session.

The rest of the run-up to the end of August stays tiny. The end of August and start of September has a bit more activity toward the end. On the morning of the 31st of August (Monday), we see a 5ft ENE swell with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is 672 (strong wave energy). It's got decent offshore wind from the E, but the forecast calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." The period is long (12 seconds), which means it's a groundswell and could have some good shape, but at Duppys (a reef break), that could make it peaky. The afternoon of the 31st and the morning of the 1st of September keep that energy, with 6ft ENE swells and periods of 11 and 12 seconds, but the wind is a cross-off from the ENE, which is not ideal. Still, it's a better bet than the first week if you're desperate for a wave.

Overall, the only real standout in the whole 16 days is that Wednesday morning (26th of August), but even that's a small, short-period wave. The big pulse on the 24th is for experts only, and the late August/early September swell is more of a hopeful paddle than a guaranteed good time.

If you're after a wave, pencil in that Wednesday the 26th for a clean little session. Otherwise, this is a long stretch of flat water.

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.
