Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Dee Why Point.

Right off the bat, the first week and a half is a tough stretch. We've got a real flat spell on our hands with only tiny, weak swell and poor conditions most days. The first few days are pretty much a write-off with rain showers and light cross or onshore wind messing up what little energy there is.

Wednesday the 19th morning is the first time we see a glimmer of hope – glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft ESE swell, but the combined energy is only weak (167). It's surfable but nothing to get excited about. The next few days remain small and mostly lacklustre until we hit the following week.

Now, hold onto your boards. The standout window opens up on Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday morning looks like the best bet of the whole 16-day run. We've got a solid 5ft S swell pumping in with a moderate energy level (391), and it's coming in clean under a light offshore breeze. Dee Why Point handles a south swell really well, and with that light cross-offshore wind, the sets should be nicely groomed. The afternoon picks up a bit more size to 5ft from the SSE, but the wind swings cross-onshore, making it less appealing.

Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th still have the S swell running, but the wind turns on. It's howling out of the west at 18-25 mph, which means strong offshore wind. While that keeps the surface clean, those conditions can be a battle to paddle into and hold your line. It's more of a challenge for the experts. The swell energy is still moderate (around 300-400) but the quality drops.

After that, we fade back into smaller, weaker surf. The weekend of the 29th and 30th offers some knee-high ENE swell, but the wind is messy or variable, so it's not a priority.

So, if you're picking a session, Tuesday the 25th morning is the one to circle. Dee Why Point will have clean, lined-up S swell in the chest-to-head-high range with light offshores. Be ready for a few other surfers though – it does get busy there. Later in the week, Thursday the 27th morning could be okay for experts who can handle strong offshores and want some clean but challenging 3ft S swell.

For the rest of the time, keep your expectations low. The middle of the run is a long gap of small, weak, or blown-out surf. Ride what you can, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
