The Lowdown

Righto, surfers. Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Duppys.

Alright, for Duppys, we've got a pretty quiet run ahead, to be honest. There's a long stretch of small, poor surf starting from now, so don't be in a rush. The first couple of weeks are mostly tiny waves with onshore or cross-off winds – not much to get excited about.

We start with Saturday the 22nd of August through to the end of the month. It's small, messy, and the combined swell energy is weak at only 13. The wind is up from the east, and while it's cross-off, it's a bit too strong for clean conditions. The water temp' is about average for the time of year, nothing special.

Sunday the 23rd actually has offshore winds, but with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the north at 9 seconds, you'd be lucky to find a wave. This poor spell just keeps rolling on through the week with combined energy levels barely hitting double figures.

The first real hint of something different shows up on Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning has a long period 16-second swell from the NE, but it's only 1.0ft, so it's just a whisper. The combined energy is still weak at 45. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft from the ENE with a short 8-second period and the combined energy hits moderate at 313, but the wind is cross-off and fresh, making it a bit lumpy.

Thursday the 27th of August isn't bad with a 2ft NE swell, a 13-second period, and moderate energy of 140. The wind is offshore in the afternoon, so it'd be clean. Still, it's only just giving us a marginal surf.

Now, the standout – and I mean the *only* real standout – comes on Saturday the 29th of August. We get a solid 8ft swell from the ENE in the morning, with combined energy at a strong 678. That's some serious power. The wind is cross-off, so it'll be clean. But listen, 8ft is expert territory, especially with an 8-second period, which can be a bit fat and walled. For a barreling reef break like Duppys, this is the one to circle. The afternoon stays solid at 7ft and 563 energy, still with clean cross-off winds. After that, it drains away fast. The rest of the run into September is back to the tiny stuff with no energy to speak of. Sunday the 6th of September shows a bit of a pulse again at 4ft from the ENE with a short 8-second period and moderate energy of 215, but the fresh cross-off wind will mess with it.

Keep an eye on Saturday the 29th of August. That's the day. It's not a beginner's wave, but for the experienced crew on a proper reef, that's as good as it gets in this forecast.

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.
