The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. We're looking at a pretty flat spell for Duppys to start. The next week and a half is mostly tiny surf or nothing at all. The first real sign of life is around Wednesday, August 26th.
On that Wednesday morning, we get an ENE swell at 4.6ft, but with a short period of 8 seconds and a cross-off wind at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 280, but it's a marginal deal.
Thursday the 27th looks better quality-wise but still small. A moderate offshore from the ESE at 12-15 mph will clean it right up. The swell is from the NE at 1.6ft-2ft, but the period is a nice 13-14 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell. Combined energy is 91-109, just on the weak side.
The big standout is a long-range call for Sunday, August 30th. The morning shows ENE swell at 8.2ft with a short 8-second period. By the afternoon, it jumps to 9.8ft from the ENE with a longer 11-second period and the combined energy goes nuclear at 2035. That's serious. But the wind becomes a cross-off from the south at 15 mph. The wave call says it's predicted to be too big for this spot, and at nearly 10ft with that short period, it's for experts only.
After that, it drops to nearly nothing for the first week of September. There's a small bump on Wednesday, September 2nd, with a 3.9ft ENE swell at 7 seconds and a moderate offshore, but the energy is only around 150. Not worth the paddle.
Best on offer? The Sunday, August 30th afternoon, but only if you're a serious charger. The biggest swell and energy of the whole run. For a cleaner, more manageable session, Thursday morning, August 27th, gives you the best combo of clean offshore wind and that long-period groundswell, just don't expect much size.

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.
