The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Looking at the full sixteen-day picture for Duppys, it’s a rough one. There’s a big blank stretch right from the start – Thursday the 23rd all the way through Saturday the 25th, we’re looking at flatness or really poor conditions. Not worth the drive. The first real hint of anything comes Saturday the 25th morning, with a 1.5m swell from the ENE at a short 6-second period and moderate energy (247). But it’s only labeled marginal. Not a total wash, but not a green light.
Then Sunday the 26th morning shows a small pulse – 1.2m from the ENE, 8-second period, and light energy (170). Wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph, which cleans things up nicely for Duppys. This is the one true standout of the whole stretch. Not big, not powerful, but for an advanced surfer, it’s the best on offer. The water is 82°, right around average for the season.
After that Sunday morning, it goes completely flat from Sunday afternoon all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August. That’s eight days of zero action.
From the 3rd of August onward, we get tiny pulses – 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the north-northeast, with very short periods and weak energy (2 to 9). Winds stay offshore or cross-off, but there’s no wave to speak of.
So the only time worth pointing your car toward Duppys is that Sunday morning, the 26th of July. Small, clean, and that’s it.
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.
