Duppys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming swell window for Duppys. Let's be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry spell to get through before there’s even a whisper of a wave worth paddling for.

Looking at the whole 16-day picture, there is absolutely no surf on the cards from now until about the 19th of July. That’s a big gap with nothing but blank ocean reports. The winds are mostly a fresh cross-offshore breeze, which would normally be a good thing for cleaning things up, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a waste of a good wind. Water temp is sitting at a very warm 83°F, which is about average for this time of year.

Now, things do start to look a little more promising right at the very tail end of the forecast period. The standout, and really the only window worth getting excited about, is the afternoon of Monday, July 21st. We’ll see some long-period NNE groundswell pushing in around 2ft, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined swell energy finally climbs into moderate territory at 144, which is a heap better than the tiny numbers we’ve been seeing. The wind looks to be fresh offshore from the east, which should keep the face of Duppys nice and clean. Because Duppys is a reef break, that longer period swell from the north-northeast should wrap in nicely and produce some decent, lined-up waves. It’s a long-range call, so don’t book the trip just yet, but that afternoon is the one to keep an eye on.

The morning of Monday, July 21st is also worth a mention, with similar 2ft swell and offshore winds, though the energy is a bit lower at 86. The 20th of July sees a bit of size building (1ft to 2ft) but it’s still very weak and the winds are cross-off, so not as clean.

Overall, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can always change, but right now, we’re looking at a blank run for at least two weeks. Hang in there.
