The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next two weeks at Duppys aren’t exactly pumping. Most of the run is flat or barely a ripple, with only a brief window of ridable surf right at the start of August. For the rest of the time, you’re looking at long gaps where the conditions just aren’t worth hauling your board out.
Water temp is about 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We kick things off on Saturday, the 1st of August. That’s the only real highlight. Saturday morning brings a 5ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. It’s a short-period wind swell, so nothing heavy, but combined wave energy is moderate at 268. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 16 mph, which will keep things glassy. This is the pick of the window, and the only time the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." Saturday afternoon drops off to 4ft, still clean offshore wind, but the energy drops to 197 and the score slips. After that, the swell disappears.
From Sunday the 2nd right through to the 13th of August, it’s mostly flat or tiny dribble. You’ll see days with swell heights of 0.3ft or 0.7ft, occasionally 1ft, and a few pulses up to 2ft or 3ft, but the wave comment stays "poor surf conditions" the whole way. The wind is often cross-off or offshore, and when it’s offshore it’s clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. For a reef break that needs a proper push from the north, this is a frustrating stretch.
Bottom line: if you’re keen, Saturday morning on the 1st of August is your only chance. 5ft, offshore, clean, and it’s surfable. Don’t hold your breath after that. For the rest of the two weeks, you’re better off checking the charts again.
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.
