Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on offer for Dee Dees.
Right off the bat, things are looking pretty grim. We've got a long dry spell to get through, with no decent surf at all from Friday the 3rd right through until Monday the 13th of July. That's a solid week and a half of poor conditions, so don't bother even checking the cam until the second week.
The one and only standout is on Wednesday the 15th of July. That morning, things come alive. We're looking at a solid 5ft swell out of the southeast, with a very long 16-second period – that's proper groundswell energy pushing through, carrying some serious punch with a combined energy of 1031 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light offshore out of the NNE, which will have it clean and lined up. That's excellent surf for experienced surfers. The caveat here is that long-period swell can sometimes straighten out on a beach break, but the quality forecast is top-notch, so get on it if you've got the chops.
Throughout the rest of the second week, there are a few other days with waves, but nothing else worth cancelling work for. The 12th of July has a glassy session with 2ft swell, but it's very small. The 13th and 16th have some clean but ordinary conditions with smaller swell and choppier winds. Crowds at Dee Dees can be there sometimes, so on that Wednesday the 15th, expect a few other keen locals to have the same idea.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year. Not too shabby.
Stay safe.
Rusty.

Information about the Dee Dees Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dee Dees provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dee Dees can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dee Dees 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 (Dee Dees) 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 Dee Dees 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.
