The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Duppys. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat, so we're going to be waiting a long time for anything worthwhile.
The whole 16-day window is dominated by tiny, weak swell. The combined wave energy barely cracks triple digits on a couple of afternoons, maxing out at a paltry 195 (moderate energy) on the 13th, but even then, the conditions are just rubbish. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is spot on for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you’re staring at a flat ocean.
We're looking at a massive gap here. From now, right through until the afternoon of Sunday the 13th of September, there's literally nothing to get excited about. The swell is a joke – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft, and even when it tries to push a little on the 13th, it's a messy, short-period 4ft from the ENE with a period of just 8 seconds. That's a sloppy, junky little windswell. The wind is a constant issue too, with a solid 18 to 22 mph breeze from the E and ENE. It's cross-offshore, which is clean, but with no swell to work with, it's just a windy, flat ocean.
The one tiny blip is the afternoon of the 13th. The swell hits 4ft, but with that short period and the wind, the surf quality is still rated as poor. It's just not going to be a fun paddle. For a more advanced reef break like Duppys, even a small bump can be tricky, but this looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one with that consistent wind.
After that, we go right back into the doldrums. The rest of the week is all 0.3ft to 1ft dribble. The conditions are clean, the wind is offshore, but there's simply no energy in the water. The combined energy drops back to single digits and low double digits (weak energy). It's going to be a very quiet period.
So, to be clear, there is no standout day. There is no best option. The forecast is a total write-off for surf at Duppys. If you're desperate for a paddle, you’ll be waiting until the 13th for the most meagre of pulses, but don't expect any waves. Just flat and breezy. That's the long and short of it.
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.
