The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Duppys over the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef break, exposed to the north, and it’s fairly consistent when conditions line up. The water sits at 84° with a tiny anomaly of 0.4°, so it’s about average for this time of year—nothing to write home about there.
The first few days are a write-off, I’m afraid. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July have no surf at all, just poor conditions with fresh cross-off and offshore winds. Nothing to paddle for. That gap runs straight through until Saturday morning the 1st of August, when we finally see some life.
Saturday the 1st of August is the only real standout in this whole run. The morning brings a clean 4ft swell from the east-northeast with a period of 8 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind from the east-southeast. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 228. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, offshore, and the reef will shape it up nicely. The direction is not quite perfect for the optimum north, but the quality of the wind and the swell size make it the best on offer. The afternoon drops off a bit to 4ft and the conditions get ordinary, so hit the early session.
After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch. From Sunday the 2nd of August right through to Wednesday the 14th of August, the swell drops to almost nothing—mostly 0.3ft to 2ft, with periods all over the shop and barely any energy (values like 2 to 54). The wind stays cross-off or offshore, but there’s just no wave to work with. The afternoons on the 8th of August show a brief pulse of 4ft from the east-northeast, but with a period of only 7 seconds, it’s weak and messy—poor surf conditions, not worth the drive.
So, that’s the story. Saturday morning the 1st of August is the one to aim for. Clean, offshore, and a little bit of push. The rest of the fortnight is a flat spell. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, get out there on that Saturday.

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.
