The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day run for Duppys is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing, punctuated by occasional tiny pulses that just don’t have the juice.
The forecast starts off with a total flat spell. From Monday afternoon, July 27th, all the way through the end of July, there’s zero surf on offer. The wind is howling out of the east at 16 to 22 mph, mostly offshore, but without any swell to work with, it’s just an expensive day for a sunburn. That gap runs for a solid week.
We finally see a little flicker of life on Monday, August 3rd. The morning brings a 4 ft swell from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds and moderate wave energy (145). The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, which keeps the surface clean, but that short period means the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. The afternoon drops to 4 ft with energy at 120. It’s not great, but it’s something. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s back to the small stuff. The rest of the first week of August and into the second week sees tiny, inconsistent pulses. A 0.3 ft swell on the 4th, another 0.3 ft on the 5th, a 2 ft on the 6th – all with poor surf conditions and low energy values. The winds stay mostly offshore or cross-off, keeping it clean, but there’s just no push.
The only other day that might raise an eyebrow is Friday, August 7th. We get a 3 ft swell from the NNE with an 8-second period, and energy hits 100 in the morning. That’s the highest we see in the whole window. The wind is offshore in the afternoon, which is a nice touch. But for a spot like Duppys, which is a fairly consistent reef break, a 3 ft wave is barely a ripple. The swell direction from the NNE is not the optimum N direction either.
Look, the honest truth is there’s no standout session here. The numbers are just too low. For beginners, anything over 5 ft can be a handful, but we don’t even get close to that. For experts, there’s nothing to get excited about. The combined energy levels are all in the double digits or low triple digits, indicating weak to moderate wave energy at best.
Hang in there, it’s a bleak outlook, but the forecasts can change.
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.
