The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here, looking at Dee Why Point for the next 16 days.
The first week is a bit of a write-off, lots of poor surf and messy conditions. Don’t waste your time until the second week.
The real standout is Monday morning, July 20th. The wind is glassy from the NW at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a 5ft swell from the ENE. The combined swell energy is moderate at 631. It’s going to be clean and well-shaped on the point. That’s the session to aim for.
The other one to keep an eye on is Friday morning, July 24th. You’ll see a 6ft southerly swell with offshore winds from the WSW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The energy is solid at 471. This one is for the advanced surfers, as it’s pushing into the bigger range, so it might be a bit too much for the groms.
After that, the swell fades fast. There are a few tiny, clean mornings but nothing special. The last hopeful call is Saturday morning, August 1st, with a 3ft southerly swell and strong offshore winds from the W at 12 mph. It’s a long way off, so don’t get too excited, but it’s worth a note.
Water temp is about 63°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Crowds can be a problem at Dee Why Point, but with the forecast looking this patchy, you might get lucky and find it quiet.
Rusty.
