Alright, let’s break down what’s in store for Dee Why Point. This is a point break for the advanced crew, don’t think about paddlin’ out here on a foamie. Water temp’s about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild.

The story for the next week or so is clear: a nice pulse of swell to start, then a dead stretch, then some serious size later on. The best window is tight, so you’ll need to be ready.

Friday the 10th is your best early bet. A clean 6ft swell out of the SE, with moderate energy around 510 (moderate energy). Wind is off the SW at 3 mph, which means smooth, clean faces. By the afternoon it’s glassy with a 5ft SE swell. That’s the session to target early on.

Saturday the 11th still has a 4ft SE swell in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the size and energy are already fadin’. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind. Then it all goes quiet. From Sunday the 12th through Tuesday the 15th, we’re down to tiny, weak waves – under 2ft mostly, with energy readings in the double digits. A proper flat spell sets in.

From Wednesday the 15th, the swell kicks in hard, but it goes from zero to too much real fast. Wednesday afternoon hits 12ft from the S, and by Thursday the 16th it’s 15ft from the SSE. That’s expert-only territory – way over 8ft and powerful. The combined energy is massive – 2189 and 3788 (very strong wave energy). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but for a point break with a straight S swell and that size, it could be a bit heavy and straight. Only for those who know what they’re doin’.

The real highlight, if you can be patient, is Saturday the 25th. Circle that date. A solid 10ft swell from the S, with a long period of 12 seconds (that’s a proper groundswell) and energy readings of 3011 (very strong wave energy). Wind is WNW cross-off at 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy. This one has all the makings of a special day for experienced surfers. Just know that crowds are a regular thing here, so you’ll be sharing the lineup.

So, to put it simply: hit Friday the 10th for clean, fun waves, then we’ve got a flat spell. The only other real standout is that Saturday the 25th, which looks like a beauty, but it’s a ways off so keep an eye on the charts. The massive stuff in between is strictly for the pros.

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.

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.
