On the NW tip of the island is Duppies, a consistent, powerful right that suffers from strong currents. Probably the best wave on the island after Soupbowls, it is not for the faint hearted. It breaks some distance offshore, is reputed to be sharky, and the name refers to malevolent spirits and ghosts, so the vibe is heavy. Cliffs mean getting caught in the north to south current is a scary proposition.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
