Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same stretch, but in feet and miles per hour.
Let’s be honest: this whole 16-day run is looking like a dust-off. There's barely any surf, and for the bulk of it, you’ll be fighting a stiff side-offshore breeze. We’re starting with a long, quiet period now that’ll last until about the 10th of July, with hardly a bump worth talking about.
From the 10th right through the 16th, it’s a total no-go. Swell heights are hovering between 0.3ft and 0.7ft, with combined energy numbers anywhere from 0 to a lame 19 – that’s weak, no grunt in the water at all. The wind is hammering from the east and east-northeast at 15 to 22 mph, putting a messy chop over everything. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
On the 17th, Friday morning, we get a tiny window with the wind turning offshore from the east at 19 mph. The swell bumps up to just 0.7ft, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the energy is still a dismal 9. It’ll look clean for a few hours, but there’s almost nothing to ride.
The days that follow stay stuck in the same rut. Swells wobble between 0.3ft and 1ft, periods stay short (7 to 11 seconds), and the energy never breaks past 14. The wind stays locked out of the east, mostly side-offshore. A quick look on the 21st shows another morning of offshore wind, but the swell drops back to 0.3ft with an energy of just 1.
Finally, on the morning of the 25th, we see the biggest pulse of the whole forecast – a 1ft north-east swell with an 11-second period, giving a combined energy of 30. That’s still tiny, and the wind is a moderate side-offshore from the east-northeast at 16 mph, messing up even that little bump.
There’s no standout good surf in this entire outlook. Duppys is an advanced reef that needs a solid north swell, and the wind is just wrong the whole time. The water temp is 28°C, normal for the time of year, so you won’t freeze while you’re staring at flat water. For a spot that’s usually pretty reliable, this is a real bummer.
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.
