The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The 16-day window ahead is pretty quiet overall for Duppys. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf, with only one real standout toward the end of August. After that, it’s mostly flat or tiny, so don’t hold your breath for much.
The week starts off with a run of small, poor-condition waves. Thursday morning the 27th, you’ve got a 2ft NE swell, period around 13 seconds, but cross-off winds from the east at 15 mph make it messy. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. The rating’s zero, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. Friday and Saturday are similar – small NE swell, choppy, no clean lines. Don’t bother paddling out.
Then Sunday morning, August 30, things change. This is the one to circle. The swell jumps to 7ft from the ENE, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 912 – that’s proper push. Offshore winds from the SE at 15 mph mean clean, groomed faces. This is an advanced-only setup – 7ft at this reef, with that much energy, it’s going to be solid and powerful. Expect some crowd, but it’s a short window before the swell drops. The afternoon still has decent 6ft swell but the wind gets a bit questionable, so your best bet is the morning.
After that, from Monday August 31 right through to Thursday September 10, it’s a desert. Tiny swells, often under 1ft, with periods all over the place. Some days have nice offshore winds, but there’s just no wave to ride. The energy values are mostly in the single digits – basically flat. If you’re into kite surfing, some of those breezy, side-offshore days might be fun, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
So, one clear standout: Sunday morning, August 30. That’s your window. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
