The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, the next two weeks at Duppys are looking pretty bleak. There’s a long stretch of almost nothing, and the few moments that have a pulse are far from perfect. It’s a tough run for a spot that usually holds up.
The first real chance to paddle out is Saturday morning, the 1st of August. We’ve got a small ENE swell at 4ft, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (192). It’s surfable, but it’s just ordinary waves – nothing to get excited about. The water is around 83°, which is about normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s flat. From Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, the swell drops to barely a ripple – 0.3ft to 1ft at best. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, so the ocean is clean, but there’s no power. Combined energy values are mostly in the single digits or low teens – you’d be sitting on a lake.
We see a little life on Sunday afternoon the 9th of August, when a short-period NE swell at 3ft and 7 seconds shows up. The combined energy hits 102 (moderate), and the wind is offshore from the east at 15 mph. The waves are still ordinary – surfable but average. That’s the standout until Monday morning the 10th of August, when a 5ft ENE swell with a 6-second period arrives, combined energy at 205 (moderate). The wind is offshore again at 15 mph, but the period is so short the waves will be weak and lumpy. It’s marginal, and only for the hardcore.
After that, it’s back to tiny, messy scraps for the rest of the forecast. There’s a flash of longer-period swell (15 seconds) on Tuesday the 11th, but it’s only 0.7ft – not enough to break. The last week is a washout, with poor conditions and barely any energy.
So, if you’re really keen, Saturday morning the 1st of August is the only decent window for a clean, small-wave session. The Monday morning the 10th of August has a bit more size, but the quality is poor. For most of us, it’s a good time to do something else.
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.
