Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast for the next 16 days at Duppys is a tough one. We’re looking at a real dry spell. There’s some tiny pulses of swell, but the wind is a constant problem, blowing cross-offshore from the east and ENE at 19 to 25 mph pretty much the whole time. That’s a fresh to strong breeze that’s gonna mess with the shape.
From now (starting Saturday the 4th of July) right through to Sunday the 19th of July, there’s no decent surf on offer. The swell is tiny, almost non-existent, with heights barely scraping 0.7 ft to 1 ft and combined wave energy sitting at a pathetic 0 to 30 (weak). The few tiny pulses on Thursday the 9th of July morning (1 ft from the NE at 11 seconds) and Wednesday the 8th of July afternoon (1.0 ft from the NE at 12 seconds) are only giving us 30 and 22 units of energy respectively – not even enough for a proper ride. It’s all “poor surf conditions” across the board.
The only thing that changes is the wind easing slightly to a “moderate breeze” around Saturday the 18th of July, but even then, the swell is a measly 0.7 ft from the north with only 9 units of energy. With that tiny swell and the persistent cross-off wind, if you’re desperate for time on the water, your best bet is to look at a kite or foil setup. For a paddle surfer, Duppys is a flat, windy spot for the entire 16-day window.
There are no standouts, no bright days – just a long, blank gap. That’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
