The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook for Duppys is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window staring at us, and the first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday, August 1st. Before that, there’s nothing. A real flat spell.
So, Saturday morning, August 1st, we get a pulse. Duppys is a reef break, and it’s picking up a 4ft swell from the ENE. That’s rideable, but the period is only 8 seconds – a short, choppy windswell. The wind is blowing from the East at 12 mph, which is offshore here, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is weak (197), so it’s not going to be powerful. It’s a entry-level day for the advanced crew, but it’s surfable. The water temp is about average for the time of year. By Saturday afternoon, the wind swings cross-off, the surf stays the same size but the quality drops, and it’s pretty ordinary.
Then Sunday, August 2nd, through to Friday, August 7th, it’s flat, flat, flat. No swell. Just wind. The easterly breeze picks up, hitting 19 to 22 mph, and we’re looking at clean but empty ocean. It’s a dead period.
Finally, Saturday morning, August 8th, a little bump appears. A 4ft swell from the NE with a 7-second period. That’s still short-period stuff, and the wind is a cross-off easterly at 19 mph. The combined energy is moderate (130), but the conditions are poor. The waves will be messy. It’s not a day to get excited about.
From Sunday, August 9th, all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, it’s tiny. Swell heights barely reach 2ft, and mostly sit around 0.3ft to 1ft. The wind doesn’t let up – a constant 19-22 mph easterly breeze, either cross-off or offshore. It stays clean, but there’s no power. The combined energy is negligible, mostly double-digit numbers. For a break like Duppys, which is fairly consistent and exposed to the north, this is a poor run. The longer period swells that do show up (like 11-12 seconds) are too small to do anything with.
The only real standout is that Saturday morning, August 1st. It’s the only time the swell gets over 3ft and the wind is truly offshore. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. For the rest of the window, you’re better off doing something else. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a long, flat road ahead.
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.
