The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for our local waters over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a slow start and a bit of a lean run overall. We’re looking at a good stretch of days with very little to get excited about. The first real glimmer of something surfable doesn't show up until Thursday, the 27th of August, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary. The first few days starting from the 24th are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. You’d be best off doing something else.

The main event, the only time the numbers really jump off the page, is around Monday, the 31st of August. Swell starts to build from the east-northeast, pushing up to 6 ft. The combined energy hits a very strong 721 (moderate to strong wave energy), which is the clear standout of the whole forecast. The period is a moderate 11 seconds, so it’s got a bit of push. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, which should keep the surface clean. It'll be a bit of a handful for the learners; at that size, it’s pushing into intermediate territory. For the advanced crew, this is the window to keep an eye on.

After that, the swell quickly backs off again. The first week of September sees us back to knee-to-waist high dribble with mostly cross-off winds. Tuesday, the 1st of September, has some offshore winds forecast, but the swell is tiny at 3 ft, so it’s just a grovel. There's a brief uptick in energy on the 2nd of September afternoon with a 3 ft NNE swell and offshore wind, but it’s still marginal. The second week looks very slim with consistent wind but not enough swell to make it worthwhile.

So, the standout is Duppys. A reef break that’s fairly consistent and works best with a northerly swell direction. The best call is to pencil in Monday the 31st of August. The swell is coming from the east-northeast, which is a bit off its optimum north, but the size and energy make it the only real option. Expecting a bit of a crowd here, as it can get busy. The water is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about normal for the time of year.

If this swell doesn't show, there’s not much else in the barrel. A few days in the second week have offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. It’s a waiting game.

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.
