The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Duppys.
Honestly, this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a real flat spell for the next 16 days. The water’s warm at 83°F which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for us. The first bit of actual swell pops up on Monday morning the 27th of July, but it’s a messy 3ft from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just 117. The wind is a cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the wave comment says it all – poor surf conditions. It’s a no-go that day.
From Tuesday the 28th of July right through to the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, there’s absolutely nothing. Zilch. A total lull. Then we get a tiny, barely-there 0.3ft on the 3rd and 4th, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The wind stays mostly cross-off or offshore, keeping the water clean, but there’s no energy to work with.
The end of the first week and into the second week shows a little more life, but it’s still small. Thursday the 6th of August has a combined energy of 31 for the afternoon, with a 2ft NE swell at 8 seconds. That’s weak, but at least there’s something. The wind is fresh offshore, so the surface will be clean. It’s really the only window that might be worth a quick paddle for the absolute die-hards, but it’s small and short-period.
The rest of the period through to the 11th of August dribbles along with tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft swells. The wind is often offshore, but the swell just isn’t there. The combined energy rarely breaks 30. For a reef break that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough stretch.
So, the standout? There isn’t one. It’s a long, flat period. The best you could hope for is a small, clean session on the 6th of August, but that’s scraping the barrel. The wind is good for the most part, but without swell, it’s a write-off. I’d hang the board up for a bit and wait for the forecasts to 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.
