Duppys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple weeks.

Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch for Duppys. We’re looking at a real flat spell with very little to get excited about. The first few days are tiny, wind is cross-off, and it’s just not doing anything for a paddle surfer. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.

Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th have some tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNE, with a period around 10 seconds, but the energy is weak (16 or less). Winds are a fresh breeze from the E, cross-off, so it’s clean but there’s just no push. Nothing to ride.

Thursday the 16th through Saturday the 18th are even smaller, dropping to 0.3ft, with energy down to single digits. Still clean, but honestly, it’s a lake out there.

Then on Sunday the 19th morning, we get a spike—5ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 231 (moderate). That’s the biggest bump in the whole forecast. But here’s the catch: the wind is a fresh cross-off from the E, and the period is short, so it’s going to be a bit jumbled. Still, it’s the only day with enough size to get a wave, but it’s not clean enough to be a standout. After that, it drops again.

From Monday the 20th all the way through to Wednesday the 29th, it’s mostly flat or near flat. A few days show zero swell height. The wind stays cross-off or offshore at times, but there’s nothing to ride. There’s a long gap of ten days with no real surf on offer.

The only moment that might make you think twice is the morning of Sunday the 19th, but with cross-off wind and short period, it’s not worth paddling out for. If you’re into kiting, that moderate energy and clean cross-off might be more interesting than surfing.

Keep an eye on things, but for now, I’d leave the board in the shed.

Rusty.
