The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, mate, it's a pretty bleak outlook for Duppys, which is the only spot on the cards. This is a reef break and it's fairly consistent, so it's a bit of a bummer to see it go quiet like this.
The water temperature is sittin’ at a balmy 85°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for the time of year, no weird anomalies to report there.
We kick off from Wednesday the 9th of September, but there's barely a ripple. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 15 and 116 (that's the "combined energy of all swells"). The wind's offshore, which is a positive, but the waves just aren't there to make it worthwhile. We've got a bit of a lift on Tuesday the 15th, with swell bumping up to 4 ft from the ENE, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the energy is still only moderate at 154. It's still marked as "poor surf conditions" though, so it's not going to be anything to write home about.
After that, it's back to absolute tiny dribble for the rest of the 16-day period, with swell heights dropping to 0.3 ft and energy levels bottoming out in the single digits. There's a few offshore wind days in there, but with no swell to work with, it's just a flat, glassy pond.
To be brutally honest, there's no standout day here, let alone a standout break. This is one of those extended flat spells we get. It's not a total shock for the area when the conditions line up like this, but it's a real test of patience. The setup with the wind and the tiny waves would honestly look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of this.

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.
