The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on the waves coming up.

We’re starting at Duppys, a reef break that breaks pretty consistently and likes a north swell best. Water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for this time of year. Nothing unusual.

Let’s be real: the first week is a total bust. From Saturday the 8th all the way through to Friday morning the 14th, there’s nothing worth paddling for. Tiny swell, messy cross-off wind, and combined energy numbers are mostly under 250 (208, 233, 165). The scores are all zeros. Not worth the drive.

Then Friday the 14th morning hits with a massive 18-foot swell from the ENE, period 11 seconds, and a combined energy of 6303. That’s heavy, serious power. But – and this is important – it’s way too big for Duppys. The data says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. Unless you’re a pro on a jet ski, stay on the beach. The afternoon is flat, so that’s that.

Saturday the 15th afternoon drops to 7ft from the ENE, period 8 seconds, energy 696. Still a big lump, but the wind is a strong cross-off at 25 mph. It’s messy and the score is still zero. No good.

The 16th is the closest we get to a session. Sunday morning has 8ft from the NE (8 sec, 716 energy), and afternoon has 8ft from the ENE (9 sec, 953 energy). The wind is a fresh cross-off from the ENE at 19 mph. The score is a marginal 1. It’s not clean, but it’s the most rideable size in the whole window. If you’re really keen, the afternoon of the 16th is your best bet.

From the 17th through the 23rd, it’s back to tiny, weak, and flat. Energy drops below 120, swell heights under 3ft, and the wind is either cross-off or offshore but the swell just isn’t there.

So, bottom line: no proper standout sessions in this 16-day window. The only day that’s even close to worth a go is Sunday the 16th afternoon at Duppys, with 8ft of ENE swell and moderate energy. But it’s not clean, not glassy, and it’s marginal. Everyone else, take a break.

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.
