Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, straight up – the next few days are a write-off for Dee Why Point. We’ve got a bit of a lull and some messy conditions to sit through, but don’t write the whole run off yet. There’s a proper pulse coming in the second week that’s got some real potential.

Right now, Wednesday the 15th is a non-starter. You’ve got a solid 8ft south swell rolling in, but that 30 km/h cross-off wind is just making it a battle. Weak energy in the water (968) and the whole thing feels marginal. Thursday and Friday are even worse – the swell drops, the wind stays messy, and we’re looking at poor surf. Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for from Wednesday through to Saturday the 19th.

Now, Sunday the 19th – we get a bit of a lift. The swell pushes back up to 6ft from the ENE with a 10-second period, but the wind is onshore and light, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. Still, there’s decent energy there (776), and it’s a step in the right direction. Not the best, but rideable if you’re keen.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 20th morning – that’s the first real standout. We’ve got a clean 5ft ENE swell, light offshore wind from the WNW, and the water feels normal for this time of year at 64°. The energy is solid (606) and the waves will have shape. This is your best window for a proper session in the first week. Get in early before the afternoon sea breeze kills it.

The middle of the week is quiet again – Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are small and clean but weak, with 4ft to 5ft and only moderate energy. Surfable, but nothing to get excited about.

Now, hold on for the real payoff. Saturday the 26th and Monday the 27th – these are the standout days. Saturday morning brings a 7ft south swell, light offshore winds from the SSW, and very good energy (939). The water is still average temp, but the conditions are clean, and the 10-second period will give you some nice lines. Monday the 27th is even better – 6ft south swell, 12-second period, glassy offshore from the SW, and massive energy (919). That’s a long-period groundswell, and at a point break like Dee Why Point, it’s going to wrap in beautifully. This is only for the experienced crew though – over 5ft and that long period will push through fast. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.

The 28th and 29th see the swell backing off, with 4ft to 6ft and cross-off winds, but the energy drops and it starts to fade. By the 30th, we’re back to tiny 2ft junk.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a total bust. Monday the 20th morning is your first decent window, but the real standout is Monday the 27th – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Clean, powerful, and Dee Why Point will be doing its thing. Late July is looking promising.

Rusty.
