The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. It’s a pretty flat story overall. The first bit of anything you’d call a wave doesn’t show up until Saturday the 1st of August, and even then, it’s a sorry little pulse. Before that, Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July? Absolutely nothing. Poor surf conditions across the board. So you’re looking at a couple of days with zero to start.
Now, for the only break we’re talking about here, Duppys – a reef setup that’s fairly consistent and likes a north swell – the outlook is grim. The water’s sitting at 84°F, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s one nice thing, at least.
Come Saturday the 1st of August, we finally see a pulse. Morning swell pushes up to 4ft from the ENE, with an 8-second period. That’s weak, short-period stuff. The combined energy is moderate (197), but the wind is a moderate offshore from the ESE, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but the quality is just ordinary. Afternoon drops a touch to 4ft and the energy backs off to 165. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. This is the only period with any real size, but for a reef break like this, that short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly.
From Sunday the 2nd of August onward, it’s a heartbreaking run. Swell collapses to near nothing – 0.3ft, 0.7ft, 1ft at best. The combined energy dips into weak territory (single figures and low teens). Winds are mostly cross-off or moderate offshore, keeping it clean, but there’s simply no energy. Periods flicker between 8 and 11 seconds, but it doesn’t matter when the swell is that tiny. The whole second week, through to Friday the 14th of August, is the same story: clean conditions, but a flat ocean. The combined energy never gets past 70, and that’s on the 14th. It’s not even worth getting the board waxed.
There are no standouts here. Absolutely none. The only true highlight – if you can call it that – is Saturday the 1st of August, with a bit of waist-to-chest high swell and clean offshore wind. But it’s short-period and ordinary. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when there’s no proper groundswell.

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.
