The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the region around Duppys.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a tease. We've got a real slow start, with nothing much worth paddling out for. The first solid week is a write-off with barely a ripple and fresh winds. There’s a long gap with almost no surf to speak of from the start right through to the end of next week. It’s not until the last few days that things finally start to look interesting, but even then, it’s a slow build.
For the first surf that’s worth getting excited about, you’re looking at Wednesday the 23rd of September. That’s a long way off, but Duppys might finally turn it on. We’re expecting a moderate 4ft swell pushing in from the NNE, with a period around 11 seconds – a decent groundswell that should have some push and shape. The water’s sitting at about 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a nice anomaly. The winds are forecast to be light offshore from the east, keeping the reef break clean. The combined wave energy is moderate, reading at 270, so there’s enough power in the water to make it interesting. Expect some decent lines, but this is an advanced break, so don't take it lightly. On that Wednesday morning, conditions are looking the best on offer in the whole period. The afternoon might hold up, too, with a similar 3ft swell.
If you’re a beginner, just stay home until this passes. Anything over 5ft at a place like this isn’t for you, and Duppys is strictly for the experienced crew.
That's it for highlights. The rest is a flat spell or barely surfable junk.

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.
