Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Dee Why Point over the next couple of weeks.

We're kicking off Sunday the 6th of September with a bit of a slow start. The morning is surfable, but the wind is a moderate 16 mph from the southwest, blowing offshore, which will keep it reasonably clean. The swell is a small 3 ft from the SSW with a short period of 7 seconds, so the energy is lacking (116). The afternoon turns ugly as the wind swings cross-shore and the quality drops. Nothing to get excited about here.

The first real standout of the period is Monday morning, the 7th of September. The wind drops right out to a glassy 3 mph from the northwest, and the water is about average for this time of year. The swell has built to 5 ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is sitting at a moderate 280. It's glassy, clean, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." This is your best bet for a proper session in the early part of the run. The afternoon, however, is ruined by a cross-onshore breeze, so make the most of the morning.

Tuesday morning the 8th of September sees a bigger pulse of energy, with the swell hitting 8 ft from the SSE and a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is strong at 847. The wind is a moderate 12 mph from the south, cross-offshore, keeping it clean. But this is getting big – over 8 ft for the experts only later in the day, and the morning is on the edge. It's a marginal call, but the clean conditions make it worth a look for the experienced crew.

Wednesday the 9th of September is a messy day with onshore winds and a lot of energy, but the quality is poor. Thursday morning the 10th of September throws up a bigger swell of 10 ft from the south with a period of 10 seconds and a very strong energy reading of 2883. The wind is a moderate 12 mph from the south, cross-offshore, so it's clean. This is massive, only for the experts, and the energy is pumping. The afternoon stays sizeable but gets messy with cross-shore wind.

The next standout is Friday morning, the 11th of September. The swell has dropped to a very manageable 6 ft from the south with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is still solid at 768. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-northwest at 6 mph, delivering clean, well-shaped waves. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." This is one of the best sessions of the whole run, with a long-period groundswell that will love this point break. The crowd is often there, so expect a few people out.

Saturday morning the 12th of September is another glassy session with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the south-southeast, and the swell at 5 ft from the south with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy of 482. It's glassy, clean, and a solid option for a fun weekend surf.

After that, the window goes quiet. The swell drops away, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, with poor conditions through most of the second week. The energy is weak, with readings dropping below 300. There's a glimmer on Friday the 18th of September with clean cross-offshore winds, but the swell is small at 4 ft and the energy is only moderate (294). The forecast is marginal.

Another small highlight appears on Saturday morning the 19th of September, with light cross-offshore winds and a 3 ft SSE swell, period of 10 seconds, and moderate energy of 301. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions." It's small but clean, a nice little session for the weekend.

In summary, the absolute best of the run is Monday morning the 7th and Friday morning the 11th. Both offer clean, glassy or light offshore conditions with solid, rideable swell. The bigger days on the 8th and 10th are for the experts only. The second week is mostly quiet with a few small, clean moments.
