The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a flat spell ahead. The overall pattern for the next 16 days is pretty quiet, with only small, weak energy filtering in. There’s really nothing that jumps out as a standout session, but let’s break down what little we have to work with.
The first bit of surfable energy shows up around the 5th of September at Duppys, but it’s nothing to write home about. Saturday the 5th morning is a total washout with just 0.3 ft of swell from the north, but the afternoon picks up marginally to 3 ft from the east-northeast, with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 87, so it’s gutless. Winds are offshore from the east-southeast at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean, but honestly, the conditions are just ordinary. It’s really only surfable if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Sunday the 6th is much the same story – morning sees 3 ft from the east-northeast, period still at 8 seconds, energy at 97, and offshore winds from the east at 16 mph. Same deal: clean but weak. By the afternoon, it drops right off again to 0.3 ft. There’s a gap after that into the next week with a few tiny pulses, but nothing that breaks the 2 ft mark. The water temp at Duppys is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year – no weird anomalies.
By the second week, from the 9th through to the 17th of September, it’s all small stuff. Swell heights bounce between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, with periods mostly under 11 seconds, so no real grunt. The winds stay predominantly offshore or cross-offshore from the east, which is a positive, but with wave energy barely scraping 99 at its best, it’s just not enough to get excited about. There’s nothing here that’s too big for anyone – it’s all beginner-friendly, if you can call it surfable.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, there are better days to wait for. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer. The forecast confidence for the near term is solid – it’s definitely small – and the long-range stuff stays just as unremarkable. There are no clear standouts in this window.
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.
