The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Straight up, this is a tough run for Duppys. The 16-day window opens with a real flat spell. There’s a tiny bit of activity on Friday the 24th of July and Saturday the 25th, but it’s nothing to get excited about. After that, we’re looking at a long gap of almost no surf worth paddling out for, stretching all the way from Sunday the 26th of July right through to the start of August. The ocean is basically asleep. It’s not until the 5th of August that we see a little pulse of energy, but it’s still not delivering the goods.
The best of a very quiet bunch is the Saturday afternoon session on the 25th of July. We’ve got some clouds and a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind swings offshore at 12 mph, which is a major win for clean conditions. The swell is a modest 5 ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate wave energy (226). It’s not a stand-out day by any stretch, but it’s the only window where the conditions are described as "expect good surf conditions." Duppys is a reef break that needs a northerly swell direction to work best, and this ENE swell is close enough to be okay. For a fairly consistent spot, this is a rare moment of hope.
Then we jump all the way to the 5th of August. The Wednesday morning session sees a cleaner look again. The wind is offshore from the east at 16 mph, and the swell is 2 ft from the NE with a 13-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, which brings better shape and energy, even if the size is small. The combined energy is moderate (181). The water temperature is 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. Still, with the swell so small, it’s a marginal option at best.
Honestly, if you’re dead-set on a paddle this week, Saturday afternoon on the 25th is the only real chance. The rest of the window is a write-off. With the wind blowing strong from the east most days, it’s looking more like a kite session than a surf session for a lot of this period.
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.
