The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Duppys over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough run. The opening days are a write-off. Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th are a no-go with a fresh 19 mph easterly breeze and barely a ripple. We’re talking tiny 2 ft to 2 ft NNE windswell with weak energy (103 and 98). Not worth paddling out for.
The only real hope in this whole 16-day window is a pulse that shows up on Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning session sees a jump to 3 ft from the ENE with a short 8 second period. The combined energy climbs to 125 (moderate energy). The wind goes offshore from the east at 16 mph, so the faces will be clean. It’s a reef break, so that short period won’t be as much of a drama. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The break is fairly consistent, but be aware – crowds are possible here. It’s not a beginner wave; it’s advanced-only. The swell direction is ENE, which is a bit off the optimum N, but it’s still the best we’ll see.
After that, it fades back into tiny, weak stuff. The 18th and 19th of September have small 2 ft N swells with moderate offshore wind, but the energy is weak (78 and 66) and the conditions are just ordinary. The rest of the run is a mix of cross-off and offshore winds on tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft waves, not worth a mention.
So, the standout here is Wednesday the 16th of September morning at Duppys. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window where the stars line up for a few clean, punchy waves. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of the fortnight.
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.
