The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at a solid run of waves coming up for Dee Why Point. We've got a bit of a slow start, but some real gems in the mix.

The pattern starts off with a clean pulse on Saturday the 1st. The morning shows a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a light offshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. The combined energy is moderate at 402, so there's some punch. This is a good, clean start.

Sunday morning the 2nd sees a bigger, longer period groundswell filling in. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to 12 seconds and the energy kicks up to 743. That's moderate energy, but the wind is a light cross-shore, so it won't be perfect. It's surfable, but the wind will put a bit of a ripple on it.

The standout is definitely Thursday the 6th. We've got a 5ft S swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze. That's a fantastic combo for Dee Why Point. The energy is moderate at 337, and the conditions are clean. This is the best of the first week.

Then Friday the 7th is another cracker. A clean 5ft S swell with a light offshore wind. It's clean and punchy. That's a solid day.

But the real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Saturday the 8th. We get a 5ft SSE swell with glassy conditions. That is the magic word. Glassy. The energy is moderate at 300, and it's just going to be smooth as silk. That's your pick of the whole forecast.

After that, things get a bit ordinary. We hit a dry spell from the 9th through to the 11th with tiny or messy surf. There's a gap of a few days where it's not worth paddling out. The swell tries to rebuild around the 12th, but it's accompanied by strong winds and onshore slop.

The second week gets more interesting and less certain. There's a pulse on the 15th of August that is very long-period. A 3ft SSE swell with a period of 21 seconds? That's a very long period groundswell. The energy is high at 1195, but with a light cross-shore wind it'll be tricky. A swell that long will want to stand up and break straight at a beach break, but at a point like Dee Why, it could link up into some proper lines. It's promising but less certain that far out.

Then on the 16th of August, there's a bigger 4ft S swell with a 13-second period and high energy at 1088, but the wind is onshore in the afternoon, making it a bit of a mess.

So, for the best surf: lock in Saturday the 8th for glassy, clean waves. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are also excellent. Keep an eye on that long-period groundswell on the 15th, but don't book your flights yet.

Rusty.

Information about the Dee Why Point Surf forecast

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

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 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.
