The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what's on the table for Duppys over the next couple of weeks. We've got a solid reef break on our hands, an advanced wave that needs an east-southeast offshore wind to really shine, and it's looking best with a northerly swell direction. The water temp is sitting right around 84°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Right out of the gate, the forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a long dry spell. There's nothing worth paddling out for from today through the 28th of August, and honestly, it stays quiet for days on end. The first flicker of something happens on Saturday the 29th of August. Saturday morning is still a write-off, but by Saturday afternoon we get a little bump of 4ft from the NE with a short, crummy 7-second period. The wind swings offshore from the east at 9 mph, which is a nice clean window, but the energy is weak (203) and it’s barely a 2 out of 10 for quality. It’s surfable, but you won't be telling stories about it.

Sunday the 30th of August sees a real pulse of swell – we’re talking 7ft to 7ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps into the strong range (898), so there's proper grunt in the water. However, that size is pushing into expert-only territory, and the forecast flags it as marginal due to tide. The wind holds offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, so it'll be clean, but that's a lot of power for an advanced reef. If you're a seasoned local and can read the water, Sunday afternoon could be your best bet, but it’s not a day for the faint-hearted.

After that, it drops off a cliff. From Monday the 31st of August all the way through to Saturday the 12th of September, we’re staring at tiny, weak surf. Swell heights mostly below 2ft, period all over the shop but the energy is almost non-existent (single digits to low double figures). The wind is often offshore or cross-off, so it'll be glassy and clean, but there's simply no wave to ride. It's a classic flat spell for this setup.

So, the standout window is narrow. The only real highlight is that Sunday the 30th of August. The swell is solid (7ft+), the direction (ENE) is a decent match for the optimum northerly, and we’ve got clean offshore wind. It’s a powerful, expert-only day with a chance of some proper waves if you can handle the grunt (898 combined energy). But for the vast majority of the forecast, the lineup at Duppys is going to be as flat as a pancake.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the horizon, and remember—forecasts can change.

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.
