The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the look ahead for Duppys. Let's be straight with you – it's gonna be a tough stretch.
The next couple weeks are mostly a write-off for getting wet. A lot of flat spells and junky conditions. We're looking at a long, quiet run starting now, all the way through to the 18th, where there's just nothing doing. Tiny dribbles and strong winds – not worth paddling out for. One glimmer shows up on Wednesday the 19th, where things might finally line up.
Wednesday, 19th August is your one standout in this whole outlook. Duppys sees a swell from the ENE at 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds. Not huge, but that combined energy reading of (232) tells you there's enough push for a decent wave. The real beauty here is the wind – a gentle offshore from the E in the morning, creating clean, lined-up peaks. It'll be glassy, and that's a major positive. Crowds are possible, so get in early. That NE optimum swell direction is a good match for the reef. This is the session to aim for. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Before that, the 15th and 16th might look small on paper, but with strong offshore wind blowing like a freight train, any wave under 2ft is near impossible to paddle into. Skip it.
After the 20th, it's back to scraps. The 23rd shows a bump of ENE swell at 4ft, but with a short 6-second period that'll feel weak and mushy, the combined energy is only (101). Not your friend. The rest of the run into the end of the month is flat or near-flat with nothing to recommend.
Bottom line: stash the board until Wednesday the 19th. That's your golden window. After that, it's back to watching the horizon.
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.
