The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s in store for the next couple of weeks using feet and Fahrenheit.
The outlook is bleak for a good stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with only a small window of hope. If you’re itching for a wave, you’ll have to wait.
The only real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. Duppys will see a pulse of swell from the ENE at about 5ft. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s windswell, not the good stuff. The wind will be offshore from the SE at 12 mph, which is a major plus, keeping the surface glassy. The combined wave energy is moderate. This is the best we’ve got in the whole 16-day window, but don’t expect anything world-class.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The Saturday afternoon drops to 4ft, and then from Sunday, August 2nd, all the way to Thursday, August 13th, it’s a flat ocean. Tiny waves, mostly under 1ft, with a persistent easterly wind blowing 15 to 22 mph. The water temperature is about normal for the season, nothing to write home about.
For a reef that’s usually pretty consistent, this is a real dry spell. A run of flat days like this is normal for the area, but it won’t last forever. Keep an eye on the charts.
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.
