Dee Dees Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Dee Dees over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a couple of days of proper solid swell, but there’s a catch. Wednesday the 2nd sees a meaty 10-foot SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period, and the combined energy is a thumping 5035 – that’s serious power. However, that’s simply too much water for this reef break; it’s an expert-only affair at best. The wind is a cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’s not totally clean, but the real issue is the size. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off with strong, lumpy cross-shore winds and the swell dropping fast, so you can forget about it.

Friday the 4th is flat and blown out, a real dud. The weekend is a mess of onshore and cross-shore winds, with small, short-period, weak swell. There’s no surfable quality in sight.

Monday the 7th brings a nasty pulse: 12 to 20 feet of SSW swell, but it’s accompanied by a strong cross-onshore wind and rain. That’s a total no-go for paddling, but if you’ve got a kite, that’s where the interest lies.

Now, Tuesday the 8th is interesting, but again, it’s a problem of size. We’ve got an 8-foot S swell at 10 seconds, with a light cross-shore breeze, and the combined energy is 1476. It’s clean-ish, but the swell is still too big for this break by a fair margin. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Wednesday the 9th. The morning starts with a clean 5-foot S swell and glassy conditions – a light wind from the NE, 3 mph. The combined energy is 280 (moderate), and the break is exposed to the south swell. This is a proper window for intermediate surfers. The afternoon gets even better: the swell bumps up to 7 feet from the south, still glassy, with a combined energy of 873. That’s clean, solid, and surfable. The wind is almost nothing, making for a really special session. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so expect company.

After that, the forecast goes downhill quickly. The second week is a mix of onshore winds, short-period junk, and very small swell. Thursday the 10th is blown out by a strong cross-shore. Friday the 11th has tiny, weak swell. The weekend of the 12th and 13th is small, long-period groundswell (18-19 seconds) but only 1 to 2 feet, so it’s barely breaking. It’s clean and glassy on the Sunday afternoon, but you’ll be scratching for a ride.

Monday the 14th offers a brief, cleaner window with a 6-foot NW windswell, but it’s a short period (6 seconds) and the wind is only good in the morning. It’s surfable, but not special. The rest of the week is messy, onshore, or too small.

So, the best bet is clear: Wednesday the 9th at Dee Dees. The morning glass-off with 5-foot S swell is a gem, and the afternoon’s 7-foot clean waves are the pick of the entire 16 days.
