Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: it's a tough stretch ahead for Duppys.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, the swell window is pretty much shut. We’re staring at a long, quiet run. From now through the rest of July, there’s practically nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. It’s a classic flat spell for this spot. The northeast wind is just relentless, blowing cross or cross-off most days, which doesn't help things at all.
On Monday the 13th, we finally get a tease. A tiny 1ft swell from the north with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind goes offshore. That’s the best wind we’ve seen, but the combined energy is only getting to 26 (weak), so while the conditions might look glassy in that "moderate offshore and clean" moment, there's just no power to push you around. It’s a paddling session at best.
The only other faint glimmer is much later. On Monday the 20th, we see another offshore wind day, with a little 0.7ft bump from the north-northeast. Again, period is short at 8 seconds, and the energy is a paltry 16 (weak). It’s a long way out, so treat that with a grain of salt, but it’s the only other time the wind might line up for a clean, though tiny, wave.
Truth be told, for a reef break like Dupps, you need a decent push, and we just don’t have it. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a swim is pleasant.
But if you're looking for surf, pack the board away for a while. A blank run like this is just how it goes here sometimes. Don't lose hope, though; forecasts can flip.
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.
