The Lowdown
Alright, let me translate that for you all.
It’s been a slow start with no real waves to talk about until the morning of Thursday, August 27th. Then we get a few days of something decent before it all fades away into a long flat spell starting September 1st.
First up, Thursday morning, August 27th at Dee Why Point. We’re looking at a 6ft south swell, nice and clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Water temp is about normal for the year, just a hair under 63°F, so a wetsuit is still your friend. The energy is moderate (598). It’s an advanced wave, and crowds are often around, so get there early.
The one you really want is Saturday morning, August 29th. That’s where it’s at. A solid 6ft SSE groundswell with a 10-second period is pushing in, and the light SSW wind keeps the surface glassy and cross-offshore. The energy is solid moderate (740), and the forecast is talking very good surf. This is the session. Same average water temp, so you’re set. Crowds are likely again, but it’s worth it.
We get a few more clean mornings after that—Sunday the 30th has a 4ft south swell, and Monday the 31st has a glassy 4ft south swell. But from September 1st on, it dies hard. There’s a big gap of nothing until we see a late spike on September 9th with a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is up and conditions are only questionable.
Mark your board for Saturday morning, August 29th. That’s your best shot.

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 Why Point 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.
