The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it. For the next 16 days, we're looking at a tricky stretch. The real action is condensed into a few days, but the wait might be worth it if you're an experienced surfer. The ocean's going to be pumping with moderate to strong wave energy for a couple of days, but it comes with some serious wind that will make things challenging.

The first real chance to get wet starts on the morning of Friday, 14th August. The swell is on the rise at Duppys, a reef break that's fairly consistent. The water's sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year—no wild anomalies to worry about. Friday morning sees an ENE swell at 8 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is already pushing moderate at 861, but that cross-off wind from the ENE at 22 mph is going to chop things up pretty good. This is a big, powerful wave though. It's cleaning up, but with that size and that wind, this is only going to be for the experienced crew. The crowd factor here? It gets busy sometimes, so expect some company if you're in.

Moving into Saturday, 15th August, the swell stays solid. Saturday morning holds at 8 ft from the ENE with a period pushing 9 seconds. The wave energy jumps up to 985, so there's real grunt in the water. It's still cross-off with a strong NE breeze, making it messy. By Saturday afternoon, the energy peaks at 1299—that's a strong pulse—and the swell eases slightly to 8 ft with the same period. The wind is still a problem though, cross-off at 19 mph. It's going to be a bumpy ride, but for the guys who can handle it, there's some serious power on offer. After Saturday, the surf just drops off a cliff.

From Sunday the 16th all the way through the rest of the month, we're in a major lull. There's pretty much nothing but tiny, weak, and often onshore slop. There's a brief flicker on Thursday the 20th with a 4 ft ENE swell that shows some energy (168), but it's crossed up and messy. Friday the 21st is similar—about 4 ft from the NE, but the period drops to just 7 seconds, making for a weak and confused wave. There's nothing worth paddling out for after that, with most days producing under 2 ft of swell and very little energy.

So, the standout? It's a tight window, but Saturday afternoon the 15th of August at Duppys is the real main event. We're talking 8 ft from the ENE (which is pretty much on the money for optimum direction), with powerful energy at 1299. It's big, it's strong, and it's going to be a battle. The wind is the buzzkill, making it less than perfect, but the raw power is undeniable. If you're an expert and you're hungry, that's your magic hour. Just be ready to compete for waves.

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.
