The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. I’m looking at Duppys for the next 16 days, and I’ve gotta tell ya, it’s a rough one. This is a reef break for advanced surfers, exposed to the north, but the forecast is a flat spell.
We’re looking at a long gap with no real surf. From Friday, September 4th all the way through to the 15th, it’s tiny. We’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft of weak, short-period swell. The wind is offshore or cross-offshore from the east, so it’s clean, but there’s no power behind it. The combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits or low double digits – that’s barely a ripple. It’s depressing, you’d be sitting out there doing nothing.
There’s a little bump on Tuesday, September 15th. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ENE, but it’s a short 8-second period, so it’s just windswell. The energy is 96 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean, but with that short period and small size, it’s not a standout. It’s a glimmer, but not a day to plan around.
After that, it’s back to the same story for the rest of the second week – 0.7ft to 1ft waves with moderate to fresh offshore breezes. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
So, the bottom line is there’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a blank. It’s a bummer, because a north swell at Duppys can be a proper wave, but this isn’t it. Sometimes the ocean just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, the quiver stays in the rack.

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.
