The Lowdown
Righto, surfers. Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you—it's a tough stretch ahead for the Duppys area. We're looking at a long, quiet run with barely a ripple on the cards for the next couple of weeks. This isn't a surprise for a spot with this kind of exposure; sometimes the ocean just shuts down and you've got to wait for the next system to roll through.
Let's run through it. Right from the start, Tuesday the 14th, we've got tiny 0.7ft swell bumping in from the NNE with a period around 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak (16), and while the water is a warm 83°—about average for the time of year—the wind is a cross-off from the East at 19 mph. It looks clean, but there's just no push. That "poor surf conditions" tag is spot on. This same story repeats all through Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th: 0.7ft or 0.3ft, weak energy readings of 9 and 3, cross-off winds. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th offer nothing better—0.3ft to 1.0ft, with combined energy barely hitting 5 or 16. The breeze stays in the 16-22 mph range, cross-off. Still clean, still flat. Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 22nd bring a slight lift with 1.0ft swell and a period that stretches to 12 seconds by Wednesday afternoon. The combined energy even climbs to 37—still moderate at best. But for a reef setup like Duppys, 1.0ft with that long period? It might just dribble through without any real shape. The 12-second period means it's a groundswell, but with that height, it's hardly going to wrap in.
Then, from Thursday the 23rd all the way through to Wednesday the 29th, we've got a dead zone. Zilch. Zero swell height, zero combined energy. The wind stays cross-off or goes offshore on Monday the 27th, but with no waves, offshore means glassy but flat. A total blank for over a week.
There's no standout session, no hidden gem. The entire 16-day window is basically a write-off for paddling out. If you're desperate for a wave, maybe keep an eye on Wednesday the 22nd afternoon when that slight bump and longer period arrive, but don't hold your breath. Honestly, with the persistent cross-off breeze and tiny swell, the conditions look more suited to kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.
Hang in there, folks. Forecasts can change, and it won't stay this quiet forever.

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.
