The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
Honestly, Duppys (reef) is looking flat and pretty hopeless for the next couple of weeks. There’s a big stretch of days with nothing worth chasing. The first real action? Barely any.
Starting Monday 14 September: tiny 0.6ft swell out of the NNE, 12-second period, but only 20 (combined energy). Wind is cross-off at 19 mph. Water temp is 85°, about normal for this time of year. Surf is poor.
Tuesday 15 sees a little bump to 3ft from the ENE, but period drops to 8 seconds and energy hits 125 (moderate). Still cross-off wind, still poor. Afternoon goes to 3ft but period plummets to 6 seconds – no good.
Wednesday 16 has offshore wind, but swell is back to 0.9ft. Same story through Thursday and Friday. Friday 18 September afternoon shows a slight glimmer: 2ft from the NE, 7-second period, energy 71, offshore wind, and the comment says “surfable but very ordinary”. That’s the highlight so far, and it’s still nothing to write home about.
The second week is more of the same – small swell, cross-off wind, low energy. Sunday 27 September shows moderate energy at 110 with 2ft from the NNE, 10-second period, but still poor conditions. Tuesday 29 September has offshore wind, 1ft, 9-second period, energy 61, and the comment says “surfable but very ordinary”. That’s your best bet, and it’s still marginal.
Nothing stands out here. If you’re keen, Friday 18 September afternoon or Tuesday 29 September afternoon might give you something tiny and clean to mess around on. Otherwise, this reef needs a proper north pulse, and it’s just not coming.

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.
