The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, straight up, the next couple of weeks at Dee Why Point are a bit of a mixed bag. We've got some decent pulses of energy coming through, but the winds are gonna be a real pain most of the time, keeping things messy. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance of a wave kicks off on Thursday, July 16th, but don't get too excited. We’re looking at a 6ft south swell with a short, weak 8-second period, and the wind is howling out of the SSW at 19 mph. It’s a cross-off, but that wind strength is just gonna make it a battle. The combined energy is moderate at best (401). Thursday afternoon is much the same, just a bit bigger at 7ft, but still with that same messy cross-off wind. It's a pass for me.

Friday, July 17th, the swell drops right off. You’re looking at a small 4ft SSE swell in the morning, but the wind is straight cross-shore and the period is a pathetic 6 seconds. The energy is weak (141). Not worth paddling out for. Friday afternoon is even smaller, barely a ripple.

The weekend is flat-lining. Saturday, July 18th, has a tiny 3ft S swell with a long 10-second period, but it’s all cross-shore wind and weak energy (341). Sunday, July 19th, shows a bit more size with a 5ft ENE groundswell, and the period stretches out to 11 seconds. The energy is moderate (669), but the wind is still cross-shore in the morning and cross-on in the afternoon, ruining any chance of it being clean. It’s a frustrating one.

Now, here’s the standout. Monday, July 20th morning. The wind finally plays ball. It goes light out of the WNW at just 3 mph, giving us a clean cross-off. The swell is a solid 5ft from the ENE with a 10-second period and moderate energy (557). This is the best wave of the first week. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and fun. Just be aware that this spot can get crowded, so you’ll have company.

After that, it drops back into a slump. From Tuesday, July 21st, through to Saturday, July 26th, we’re looking at small, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, and winds that are either onshore, cross-on, or cross-shore. The only bright spots are a few mornings with light offshore winds from the west, but the swell is just too small to get excited about, with energy values dropping as low as 50. It’s a real quiet spell, about a week of nothing special.

Then, hold onto your board. Wednesday, July 29th morning. This is the one to circle on the calendar. A solid 8ft south swell rolls in, with a 10-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the NW at 6 mph, and the combined energy is massive (2200). This is a powerful, clean swell, but it’s for experienced surfers only. That size at Dee Why Point will be a handful, especially with the long period making it dumpy. The afternoon sees the energy drop but still has plenty of size.

Thursday, July 30th morning, it backs off a bit to a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind cranks up from the WSW at 16 mph, giving us a clean offshore. The energy is moderate (353). It’s a fun, manageable wave for a wider range of surfers after the big day. The following days, July 31st, have a 6ft south swell with a long 12-second period, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, making it a bit of a windy, bumpy affair. The energy is good (979), but the conditions will be tricky.

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. 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.
