This question was answered by @ryanpq:
Our detection of incoming DDoS attacks has a much higher threshold than what you are describing. Since our incoming DDoS detection is done at the network level a firewall on your droplet itself would not have any effect as the traffic will have already saturated the network interface and caused issues for other droplets on that physical node. This also means that you may not be seeing full logs of the attack that was stopped at this level. Instead I would recommend setting up some type of outside DDoS protection such as that provided by CloudFlare to provide this layer of protection for your droplets.
