G’day, Rusty here, with a look at Dee Why Point for the next couple of weeks. There’s a little window of clean surf right now, but it gets real messy and blown out after that, so you’ll want to get on it early.
The first standout is Thursday morning, the 9th of July. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the SW keeping it clean. The wave energy is 735 (moderate), and the water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s a point break, so that longer period will be a treat, and the conditions are looking very good. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
Thursday afternoon fades a bit, but Friday the 10th is the pick of the bunch. Morning shows a 6ft SE swell with a 9-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the WSW. The combined energy is 513 (moderate). Then Friday afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph, and a 5ft SE swell (10-second period) with moderate energy at 533. That glassy afternoon session is the best on offer—clean, lined up, and lovely.
Saturday the 11th morning still has some clean 4ft surf (SE, 9 seconds) with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy drops to 367 (weak-to-moderate). After that, the wind turns onshore and the swell drops, and from Saturday afternoon through to the following Thursday, the 23rd of July, it’s a real write-off. There’s a big gap of about 10 days where the surf is either too small, too windy, or just plain messy. The wind cranks up to near gale force mid-week, with an 8ft swell on the 15th and 16th, but with 28-31 mph winds, it’s a kite-surfing show, not a paddle.
By Sunday the 19th of July, we see some glimmer of hope. The morning brings a clean 3ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and a moderate offshore, but the energy is low at 281. The following days are small and ordinary, with a few waist-high waves but nothing to get excited about. The swell direction is mostly S or SSE, which isn’t the optimum for Dee Why Point (which prefers SSE), so take that for what it is.
Overall, the first 48 hours are the clear winners—especially Friday afternoon’s glassy session. After that, it’s a long wait for anything worthwhile.
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. Our Dee Why Point 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.

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.
