The Lowdown
Right, let's have a look at what's cookin' out at Duppys. To be honest, it's a bit of a flat spell for the next week or so. The good news is, we've got a bit of pulse due to show on Saturday the 1st of August, but until then, don't bother getting the wax off the rack. From now until Friday the 31st of July, it's a no-go zone. Zero swell energy on the charts.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes Saturday morning, the 1st of August. We've got a moderate offshore breeze from the Southeast cleaning things up nicely, and the water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 83° for this time of year, nothin' weird there. That afternoon, the swell kicks in with a clean 4 ft from the East-Northeast running on an 8-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 228, so there's a bit of push to it. The wind swings around to an offshore from the ESE, so the face should be nice and clean. It's not a world-beater, but after that long drought, a 2 out of 10 day will feel like a victory. Duppys is a reef setup, exposed to the north, so this ENE swell will wrap in okay, but don't expect perfection for a point break.
After that Saturday afternoon fling, it's back into the trenches. Sunday the 2nd through to Tuesday the 11th of August is just grim reading. We're talking near-flat conditions day after day, with onshore or cross-off winds doing no favours at all. The only thing worth mentioning is a tiny 2 ft from the NE on Wednesday the 5th, but with a short period of 7 seconds and a moderate breeze, it's not gonna be any fun.
The end of the window on Wednesday the 12th of August shows a little puff of 1 ft from the East-Northeast with a 10-second period and a fresh offshore wind, but the combined energy is only 47. It’s clean, but tiny. That's about it for the long range, and to be honest, it's more of a hope than a promise. The real standout, and the only one I'd even say have a look at, is that Saturday the 1st of August afternoon. Go for a paddle, get a few, and be happy.

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.
