The Lowdown
Alright, let’s do that again in feet and miles per hour.
Same story, different numbers. For Duppys, the first week is a total dud. From Saturday the 8th of August right through until Friday the 14th morning, it’s flat to tiny. Wind is a cross-off from the east or east-northeast at 18 to 25 mph, but the swell is mostly under 2 ft, with periods as short as 6 seconds. The energy is weak, often in the double or single digits. Not worth the paddle. That’s a solid week of nothing good.
The first proper standout is Friday morning, August 14th, and it’s a beast. Duppys is a reef break, and it’s fully exposed. The ENE swell is predicted to be 12 ft, with a moderate 9-second period. The combined energy is enormous at 1716 – that’s a ton of power. Wind is cross-off from the ENE at 25 mph, so it’ll be clean on the face. But the forecast warns the swell is too big for this break. This is strictly for experts who know the reef. Water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for the season.
Then the next window is Saturday afternoon, August 15th, through Sunday afternoon, August 16th. Swell sits between 6 ft and 8 ft from the ENE, with an 8 to 9-second period. Energy is strong (768 to 789). Wind holds cross-off from the east or ENE at 15-18 mph. The report calls it “marginal” due to tide, but it’s clean and powerful. Saturday afternoon at 8 ft and Sunday afternoon at 7 ft are your best chances for a solid, makeable wave.
From Monday the 17th onward, it drops fast. Swell plunges to under 2 ft, energy goes from 92 down to almost nothing. The 23rd shows a brief 3 ft spike with 123 energy from the ENE, but with an 8-second period, it’s not looking like a classic.
Bottom line: For the big-wave hunters, Friday the 14th morning is the one. For the rest, the best clean, solid surf lands on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th.

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.
