The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Dee Why Point over the next couple of weeks.

First thing, you’re going to have to be patient. The surf is looking pretty ordinary through Monday and into Tuesday morning, so don’t rush out in a panic. The water temp is sitting at 17°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so grab a thick suit.

The first real standout window is Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. A clean 1.6m south swell, with a nice 12-second period, is moving in. The combined energy is solid at 724 (moderate), and with a light offshore breeze from the WNW, it’ll be glassy and clean. This is a long-period groundswell, so expect proper, well-shaped waves. Dee Why Point handles that direction well, but the sets will be a bit more spread out. It’s a spot that can get crowded often, so get out there early for the best of it.

Thursday morning, August 13th, is another one to circle. We’ve got a 2.1m south swell, 9-second period, with a clean offshore breeze from the southwest. That’s a fair bit of push – combined energy of 974 (moderate to strong). This is getting into the size that’s better for the more experienced crew; beginners might find it a handful. But for the crew who know the point, it’ll be a ripper session with clean, offshore conditions.

After that, the week gets a bit messy. Friday and Saturday (14th and 15th) see smaller, weaker swells with some rain showers and onshore winds creeping in. Nothing to get excited about.

The second week is a mixed bag. There’s a bit of a lull from Sunday the 16th through to Tuesday the 19th, with small, choppy, and mostly onshore conditions. Not worth paddling out for.

Then we get a couple of interesting glassy mornings. Thursday, August 20th has a 1.0m south swell, 9-second period, and dead calm winds – glassy. Combined energy is low at 210, so it’s small, but it’ll be pretty. Friday, August 21st morning is similar, with a 1.2m ENE swell and glassy conditions.

The last real highlight is Sunday, August 23rd morning. A 1.1m east-northeast swell, 10-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW will keep it clean. It’s not huge, but combined energy of 283 (weak to moderate) means there’ll be a few fun ones. Still, don’t expect a classic.

For the rest of the outlook, Monday the 24th afternoon shows a 1.3m ENE swell with a clean offshore wind, but the following days get blown out by strong southerly winds again. Not great.

Overall, the best surf is definitely Tuesday afternoon (11th) and Thursday morning (13th). That’s your window. After that, it’s a lot of waiting with a few small, glassy mornings to keep you sane.

Rusty out.
