The Lowdown
Alright, grab yer board, let’s see what we’ve got coming up at Duppys over the next couple of weeks. This is a classic case of a couple of short windows lighting up, then a whole lot of flat and wind.
We kick off right away on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning’s a bit of a gamble with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-off breeze from the East at 12 mph, but the swell is a clean 5 ft from the ENE. The period’s only 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a weak, short-period windswell, but the wave energy is still moderate at 293, and you can get waves. The real standout is Saturday afternoon. The wind swings offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, glassing it right up. The swell drops a tiny bit to 4 ft, still from the ENE, with that same short period, but the energy is still good at 226. “Expect good surf conditions” for that session – that’s your best bet of the whole run. Clean, offshore, and with enough push for a fun session.
Now, the downside. After that Saturday arvo high, things go completely flat for the rest of the forecast. Sunday morning the 30th drops to a tiny 0.7 ft, and while the wind is offshore, there’s just no swell. It’s a long, dry gap. From Sunday arvo all the way through to Thursday the 3rd of September, it’s either ankle-biters or flat, with easterly winds hanging on. On Thursday the 3rd, the swell tries to perk up to 4 ft from the ENE with 7-second period and moderate energy (119-132), but the conditions are only rated as very ordinary, and the wind is still up around 16 mph. Not worth paddling out for.
After that, the swell vanishes again. From Friday the 4th of September right through to the end of the run on the 13th, we’re looking at a solid week and a half of 0.3 ft to 1 ft slop. The winds stay mostly offshore or cross-off, but you’re staring at combined energy readings barely cracking double digits. It’s frustratingly small, which for a spot like this is normal if a proper swell doesn’t push in.
So, the bottom line: The only true standout is Saturday afternoon. That’s the one. If you can sneak out for that session, you’ll get clean 4 ft offshore lines at an advanced reef break. For everyone else, it’s a long wait for a pulse that never really arrives.
Stay frothy.

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.
