The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the imperial crowd.
Looking over the next 16 days, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Duppys. We’ve got a real dry spell to start, and honestly, it’s gonna be a long wait for anything that gets you excited. The first couple of days are a total write-off with nothing but poor surf conditions and a risk of thunderstorms, so don’t even bother paddling out on Friday July 31st.
Things finally show a little bit of a pulse on Saturday morning, August 1st. We get some small but clean surf rolling in from the ENE at 4ft (moderate wave energy of 197), with a short, choppy 8-second period. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so the surface will be clean, but the waves are going to be pretty ordinary. It’s not a standout, just a chance to get wet. Later that afternoon, the same size and direction hold with the wind going more easterly. The crowds come and go here, so you might have it to yourself.
After that, we fall back into a long, frustrating gap. From Sunday the 2nd right through to the morning of Saturday the 8th, it’s all poor surf conditions. We’re talking tiny bumps, strong cross-off shore winds, and a lot of nothing. It’s a full week of almost no swell.
Then, on Saturday afternoon, August 8th, the energy picks up a bit with 4ft swell from the ENE, but the period drops to a very weak 7 seconds, so it’ll be a disorganised mess with poor surf quality and the combined energy is moderate at 184. The wind is cross-off shore, so not ideal.
The only faint glimmer in this whole window comes on Sunday morning, August 9th. We get a clean 3ft of swell from the ENE, still a short 7-second period, but the wind is offshore from the east. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The combined energy is 103. It’s the best on offer, but I wouldn’t call it a standout. After that, it’s right back into tiny, poor conditions for the rest of the second week. Just a rough run for Duppys, folks. Stick a pin in it, because this one’s a bust for the next fortnight.

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.
