The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what we’ve got coming up for Duppys.
Honestly, mate, looking at this 16-day run, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a massive gap of flat conditions staring us down. The first real chance of anything rideable kicks off on July 13th, but it’s barely a whisper. We get a tiny pulse of swell, but it’s weak. The best you can say is there might be a clean-looking wave, but with only 0.7 ft of north swell, you’re battling a fresh cross-off breeze at 19 mph. It’s not really surfable; more like a frustrating paddle.
The water at Duppys is sitting at 82°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From July 23rd onwards, the energy completely dies. We’re looking at zero combined energy (0) day after day, all the way through to the end of July. That’s a solid week-plus of nothing.
There is absolutely no standout window here. The combined swell energy peaks at a pathetic 30 (moderate energy) on July 19th afternoon with a 1 ft north-northeast swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is still a fresh cross-off. It’s not going to give you any kind of proper wave.
If you’re desperate, the most likely time to find a dribble is around the 19th and 20th, but don’t get your hopes up. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if that’s your thing.
We’re in for a long, flat run. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a bit of a desert.

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.
