Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Dee Why Point has in store over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first week has some meaty, clean waves, but you gotta pick your moments. Then there’s a flat spell before a late pulse of big southerly energy shows up for the second week.

We kick off Monday, July 6th, but honestly, it’s a write-off. We’ve got an 8ft SSE swell, but the wind is howling at 15 mph from the SSE, making it a messy cross-chop. The wave energy is moderate, but it’s not worth paddling out for.

Tuesday, July 7th, is where it gets serious. The swell jumps up to 10-12ft from the SSE/SE with a 10-11 second period. That’s big, powerful stuff, with strong wave energy. The wind swings to a cross-off S/SSW at 15 mph, keeping it clean. But look, at over 8ft, that’s strictly for the experienced crew only. Beginners, sit this one out.

Wednesday, July 8th, is your standout. The swell drops back to a still-chunky 8ft from the SE, 10-second period, with moderate-strong wave energy. The wind is a light 9 mph from the south, cross-off. That’s going to set up some proper, long, rippable walls on the point. It’s clean, it’s got power, and it’s the best call of the whole run. Expect a crowd though; Dee Why Point can get busy when it’s good.

Thursday, July 9th, the swell eases to 6-6ft, still SE, but energy drops. The morning wind is a light 6 mph cross-off – glassy, clean conditions. This is a really good, accessible size for a broader range of surfers.

Friday, July 10th, the swell is around 5ft from the SE. The morning looks prime with a light offshore from the WSW at 9 mph. That’ll groom it up nicely. The wave energy is low-moderate, so it’ll be a fun, manageable day on the point.

Saturday, July 11th, the swell fades to 4ft in the morning from the SE with clean light NW winds. Still rideable, but dropping. By the afternoon the onshore NE wind kills it.

From Sunday, July 12th, through Tuesday, July 14th, we hit a flat spell. The surf drops to knee-high or less (0.7ft to 2ft), with strong offshore winds. Wave energy is pathetic. There’s nothing worth chasing.

We resurface on Wednesday, July 15th. A new south swell arrives at 7ft, with a 10-second period and a moderate offshore SW wind at 12 mph. Wave energy is back to strong. Conditions are very clean, and this is a nice pickup for the experienced guys. By the afternoon it gets bumpy with an 18 mph S wind.

Thursday, July 16th, the swell builds to a solid 10ft from the S/SSE. That’s big again, with strong energy. It’s clean but powerful – expert territory only. The onshore winds pick up by the afternoon.

Friday, July 17th, sees the swell holding at 7ft from the SSE. The morning looks excellent with a light offshore SW wind at 12 mph, giving you clean, lined-up walls. Wave energy is moderate-strong. Another good session for the advanced crowd.

Saturday, July 18th, is also promising with a 7ft SE swell, 11-second period, and light W winds in the morning. That’s a nice, long-period groundswell, which will wrap beautifully into the point. Wave energy is moderate-strong. This is the other standout of the second week.

After that, Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th see the swell drop away into the poor range again, with weak energy.

And then, look out for Tuesday, July 21st. The guidance is showing a massive 13ft south swell with a 9-second period and howling offshore SW winds at 18 mph. Wave energy is very high. That is absolutely enormous for Dee Why Point. Even with offshore wind, that’s only for the most hardcore, expert surfer. For everyone else, it’s a show day.

So, my pick of the whole forecast: Wednesday, July 8th. That 8ft, clean, cross-off SE swell is going to be a proper session with some solid, grindable walls. If you want a smaller option, Thursday, July 9th morning is your glassy, fun-size window.

Stay safe out there.

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. If you surf the same spot (Dee Why Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. 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.

Dee Why Point is 1 km (1 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
