The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s size up the 16-day picture for Duppys. Honestly, it’s a flat and frustrating outlook. There’s a big dry gap ahead.
Right now, Monday July 20th is dead flat. Combined wave energy is a weak 4, with a 0.3ft NNE windswell. Not a single reason to wet your wetsuit.
Tuesday July 21st through Thursday July 23rd stays tiny. Offshore east winds at 12–18 mph keep the surface clean, but swell heights only reach 0.7ft to 2ft, with short periods of 7–8 seconds. Wave energy maxes out at 43. Clean but powerless.
Friday July 24th morning is your best window – a small 3ft NNE swell at 7 seconds, east wind at 15 mph offshore, keeping things clean. Combined energy hits 83. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which says it all. Friday afternoon bumps up to 4ft from the ENE with 173 energy but cross-offshore wind spoils it. Not a standout.
From Saturday July 25th all the way through to August 4th, it’s mostly flat. A brief pulse on Sunday July 26th afternoon shows 5ft from the ENE (8 seconds, 245 energy) but with fresh cross-off wind and poor conditions. After that, it’s zeros and tiny 0.3ft bumps that don’t deliver.
There is no true standout here. Duppys is a north-facing reef, fairly consistent, but the ocean just isn’t cooperating. Water temperature sits at 82° early on, about average for this time of year. It’s a dead spell, but these things don’t last forever. Hang tight.
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.
