Alright, let’s be straight – Duppys is lookin’ at a whole lot of nothin’ for the next couple of weeks.
From Wednesday July 8th right through to Thursday July 23rd, we’re in a real dry spell. The swell is barely a ripple. Most days show zero or just 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the north or northeast, with periods mostly between 8 and 14 seconds. The combined energy is pitiful – mostly single-digit or low double-digit numbers like 0, 4, 7, 11, 18 – that’s weak sauce.
The wind is a fresh breeze out of the east or east-northeast, mostly cross-offshore or offshore, so it would be glassy if there was a wave to ride. On the morning of the 8th, it’s clear with a 19 mph offshore breeze, water temp is 83°F – about average for this time of year. But every single time slot says “poor surf conditions.” No exceptions.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. From the 15th onward, it’s the same story: tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft north pulses, periods dropping to 8 or 9 seconds, energy values in the single digits. Even on the 21st and 22nd, with some clean offshore breezes and a 13-second period, the swell height is still just 0.3ft.
Duppys is a reef break for advanced crew, and it usually breaks pretty consistent, but not now. This is one of those flat spells where the ocean shuts down. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, there’s nothing to ride.

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.
