The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
The next couple of weeks are going to be a bit of a mixed bag for Dee Why Point. To be straight with you, the start of the window is pretty rough, with a whole lot of nothing worth getting excited about. There’s a solid chunk of poor surf and not much hope early on.
We’re looking at a real dry spell from Monday the 10th through to the 11th. Monday is pretty much a write-off. Tuesday morning might offer a tiny, weak knee-high wave, but the wind is up and it’s all a bit ordinary.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday the 11th in the afternoon. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore, and we get a bit of south in the swell. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and that’s a big win after nothing. You’ll see a minor bump in energy too.
Thursday the 13th morning brings our first genuine standout. There’s a decent pulse of south swell – about chest to head high – with a clean, moderate offshore wind. The energy is moderate and it’s shaping up nicely. That’s your best bet of the first week, no question about it.
But then it fades. Friday the 14th is average, and from Saturday the 15th through to Tuesday the 19th, we are looking at a real flat and messy spell. Short period windswell, onshore junk, rain. It’s a proper blank run and you’d be better off doing something else.
Keep the faith though. Towards the end of the window, around Thursday the 21st and into the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd, things start looking interesting again. We’ve got an easterly swell building, and the mornings are looking glassy with light winds. The energy levels kick up significantly, especially on Saturday the 23rd afternoon, jumping into strong territory. The catch? The winds turn onshore and chop it up in the arvos. The early sessions, especially Thursday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd mornings, are looking like the pick of the second week. The swell is solid, in that head-high range, but the wind will be key.
So, the two standouts to truly circle on the calendar are the morning of Thursday the 13th, with that clean south swell, and the morning of Saturday the 22nd with the building east swell and glassy conditions. Both are promising, but remember, the further out we get, the less certain it becomes.
This is Rusty, signing off.
