The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The surf’s been pretty quiet around Duppys, but there’s a pulse of something real on the horizon. Don’t get too excited just yet, though, because we’ve got a long dry spell to sit through first.

Right now, through the last few days of August, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly cross-off or just cross. Duppys is seeing weak, short-period junk in the 1 ft to 2 ft range, with a long period around 15-16 seconds, but it’s just not stacking up. The energy is weak, between 45 and 225, and the conditions are described as poor. It’s not worth paddling out for.

Then Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th get a little bump in height, up to 4 ft, but the period drops to 7 seconds for Sunday morning – that’s short-period wind swell, messy and weak. The energy is still moderate at best (160, 140). The wind stays cross-off, so it’s not completely blown out, but the waves are just not doing anything special.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday afternoon, the 30th of August, is the standout. The wind swings to a light offshore, from the SE at just 6 mph, and the swell jumps to 7 ft from the ENE, with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy goes through the roof – 1218 – that’s strong wave energy. This is a solid, powerful groundswell. The guidance says it’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. At that size, it’s too big for beginners, and it’s a proper reef break, so it’s going to be a heavy, critical wave. The wind will be light and glassy, making for clean, scary-good conditions. Expect crowds to be possible here, as it’s a known spot.

Monday the 31st still has some size, around 4 ft to 5 ft, with energy dropping to 421 and 310, but the wind stays offshore or cross-off. It’s going to be surfable, but not the same quality as that Sunday afternoon blast.

After that, it’s back to flatness. From Tuesday the 1st of September right through to the 10th, the swell is basically nothing – 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with very low energy (mostly under 55). The wind might be offshore, but there’s no wave to ride. It’s a blank run of about nine days. So, if you’re looking for a window, you’ve got that Sunday afternoon and maybe Monday, then it’s a long wait.

The water temperature here is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

So, the best bet is that Sunday afternoon, the 30th of August, at Duppys. It’s a proper reef, advanced-only, and the conditions will be magic. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
