The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next sixteen days.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. Thursday 23rd through to the end of July is a flat spell with barely a ripple – definitely a good time to wax the quiver and wait. The first real sniff of something rideable doesn’t appear until Saturday morning the 1st of August, and even then, it's marginal.
The main event, such as it is, falls on Saturday afternoon the 1st of August at Duppys. We’ll see a 4ft swell rolling in from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds. That's short-period windswell, so it won't have the grunt of a groundswell, but at 4ft it’s a fun size. The combined wave energy is a moderate 192, so there's a bit of push behind it. Winds are offshore from the East at 16 mph, which will keep the surface clean enough to make the most of it. Duppys is a fairly consistent reef break, but it's for advanced crew only, so leave the soft-tops at home.
Don't get too excited, though – the conditions are still described as ordinary, and this is the only real standout in the whole run. It’s a tricky period for the region; we get more days with nothing than with something. Keep an eye on the skies, because near the 4th and 5th, a tiny long-period groundswell tries to creep in (0.3ft to 0.7ft, 11-12 seconds from the North), but it’s too small to do anything with. We’ll need a bigger push to get Duppys firing proper.
So if you’re desperate for a paddle, Saturday the 1st of August is your window, but keep the expectations in check. The early part of the outlook is dead, and the rest is 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.
