The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the early part looks pretty grim. We’re looking at a long dry spell with barely a ripple for the first week or so. The good news is, there’s a bit of a pulse showing up around the middle of the second week, but it’s a long wait.

Starting off, the first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t come until Thursday, the 5th of September. Even then, it’s nothing to write home about. The swell is tiny, only 0.3ft from the north, with a short period of 9 seconds. The wave energy is almost non-existent (2). It’s clean, with offshore wind, but honestly, you’d be lucky to find a wave you can stand up on. That lacklustre theme carries on right through until the weekend.

There is a slight uptick on the 8th of September. A fresh breeze is blowing offshore, but the swell is still disappointing at just 0.7ft to 1ft from the north-northeast. The period is long, around 14 seconds (groundswell), but there’s just no height to work with. Wave energy is weak (47-68). It’s clean, but we’re all still waiting.

We finally see a bit of life around the 13th of September. Sunday afternoon sees a bump in swell to 4ft from the east-northeast. But the period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-off from the east. Wave energy is moderate (159). The conditions aren’t terrible, but that short-period energy will make for a bit of a bumpy, disorganised wave.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout window is around the 17th and 18th of September. Duppys (Barbados) finally gets a nudge of solid groundswell. On Thursday the 17th of September, we’ve got a clean 3ft to 3ft swell from the north with a period of 10-11 seconds. The wind is blowing a fresh offshore from the east-southeast, which is going to make things clean and lined up. The wave energy is moderate to strong (161-183). This is your best bet for a decent session. The swell direction is close to optimum from the north, the wind is offshore, and it’s a reliable reef break. If you can get out there, it’ll be worth it. Friday the 18th of September looks promising too with similar 3ft swell and offshore wind.

So to sum it up: the first 10 to 11 days are a washout with barely any surf. The real action, and the only thing I’d genuinely recommend, is that window on the 17th and 18th of September at Duppys. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but it looks like the best we’re going to get.

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.
