Table - best surf conditions forecast for Duppys over the next 16 days.
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s be real – the outlook for the next 16 days at Duppys is pretty grim for anyone looking to surf.
The swell is basically non-existent. You’re looking at waves barely 0.7 ft at the start, and it never gets any better. The combined wave energy is in the low double digits early on, like 11 on the 12th, and then it just drops into the single digits and stays there for most of the window.
Water temperature is about 82°, which is right around average for the season – comfortable, but not the story here.
The wind is a killer. It’s blowing steady from the east and east-northeast at 15 to 22 mph, almost always a cross-off wind. That means the surface is going to be textured and bumpy. There’s one morning on July 24th where the wind turns offshore, but the swell is completely flat – zero wave energy. That’s the definition of a tease.
We’ve got a massive dry spell in there. After July 12th, the wave energy plummets to almost nothing, and from July 19th through the 27th, there are days with zero swell whatsoever. It’s a long, flat, frustrating stretch.
There’s not a single standout session in this whole run. With those constant side winds and no real waves to speak of, honestly, this is looking like a better setup for kite surfing than for paddle surfing.
Don’t hold your breath on this one. The patterns will shift eventually, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
