Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way.

To be honest, the next week or so is a proper mixed bag. We’ve got a bit of a wait for anything that really fires. The good news is, things start looking up around July 21st, but let’s walk through it day by day.

We kick off on Saturday, July 11th at Dee Why Point. Saturday morning is your best bet early on. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell out of the SE, with a period of 9 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze coming from the NW at 6 mph. The water temp is pretty standard for this time of year, nothin’ unusual. The combined energy is moderate at 370, so there’s some push there. It’s a point break, so that SE swell lines up nicely with what it likes. Expect good, clean waves, but watch out – this spot is often crowded, so get there early. Saturday afternoon, the wind swings NE and drops the quality, so the morning is where it’s at.

From Sunday morning, July 12th right through to Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops right off. We’re lookin’ at tiny, weak waves below 2 ft, with combined energy readings as low as 15. It’s basically flat or close to it. The winds are okay offshore or cross-off, but there’s just not enough ocean to work with. That’s a solid 3-day gap with nothin’ worth paddling for.

Wednesday the 15th throws a bit of a curveball. The swell jumps up to 10 ft out of the south on Wednesday morning with a combined energy of 2611 – that’s strong energy. But here’s the catch: that’s big, powerful swell, and with a period of only 10 seconds, it’s gonna be a bit of a mess. The wind is a fresh 19 mph from the SSW, clean but blowing cross-off, and the surf is described as marginal. This is expert territory at that size – 10 ft is well over 8 ft, so only for the experienced crew. Wednesday afternoon drops to 7 ft, still big and a bit raw.

Thursday the 16th has some leftover energy at 6 ft from the south, but that period drops to 8 seconds, and it’s just not shapin’ up cleanly. The wind stays cross-off, but the quality is marginal at best. By Friday the 17th, it’s back to tiny, poor surf with rain showers.

Now, there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th bring back some knee-to-waist high swell around 3 ft from the east, with combined energy up to 208. The wind Sunday morning is a light NW breeze, cross-off, and it’s clean. It’s ordinary, but it’s surfable – the kind of day for a longboard or a funboard.

Monday the 20th is a write-off with messy, choppy conditions and wind picking up.

Here’s the standout – Tuesday, July 21st. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Tuesday morning at Dee Why Point, we get a clean 3 ft easterly swell with a 11-second period, combined energy of 332, and a moderate offshore breeze from the SW at 12 mph. That’s a solid, quality groundswell with clean, offshore conditions. The swell direction (east) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum SSE, but it still works at this point. This is easily the best morning of the whole forecast – good waves, clean faces, and proper shape.

Wednesday the 22nd morning is also decent with a 4 ft southerly swell and a light westerly cross-off breeze, energy at 475. It’s a solid option if you miss Tuesday, but Tuesday is the pick.

After that, the second week fades again into smaller, weaker surf from July 23rd onward, with combined energy dropping back under 250 and tiny waves. Thursday the 23rd afternoon has a weird 2 ft swell with a 19-second period out of the south – that’s a very long period, which can sometimes be straight and tough at a beach break, but at Dee Why Point, it can wrap in and give you some long, clean lines. It’s a bit of a wildcard but worth a look if you’re curious.

So bottom line: Saturday morning the 11th is okay, Tuesday the 21st morning is the true standout with clean, offshore conditions and a solid, well-shaped swell. Everything else is either flat, messy, or too big and raw.

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.
