Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got Dee Why Point on the radar for the next couple of weeks. The overall pattern starts with a solid pulse of south swell, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The best windows are going to be the mornings when that offshore breeze shows up.

Thursday, July 30th kicks things off. There’s a clean 6ft south swell rolling in with a 9-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the southwest. That’s a proper combo for a point break like this. The water is sitting at 65°, which is bang on average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (465), but it’s got enough push. This is a standout window for the first few days.

Friday morning, July 31st looks similar, with a 6ft swell from the south, period pushing 10 seconds, and a cross-offshore wind. Still clean, still surfable. The afternoon sees the wind shift cross-shore and the swell bumping up to 7ft, which pushes it into the more powerful category (1360 energy), but the cross-breeze will chop it up a bit.

Saturday morning, August 1st is another good call. A 5ft swell from the SSE, clean offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is moderate (396). That’s the sweet spot for a point break – long lines, clean faces.

Now, after Saturday afternoon, things get a bit ordinary. The wind swings onshore or goes cross-shore, and the swell drops. There’s a real lull from Sunday, August 2nd through to Thursday, August 7th. The swell stays small, under 4ft, and the wind is all over the place. Nothing worth paddling out for.

The next real highlight pops up on the Saturday, August 8th morning. The swell picks back up to 5ft from the south, and the wind is a light offshore from the WSW. Clean conditions, good energy (574). That’s your second standout.

There’s another gap with poor conditions and small surf from Sunday, August 9th through to Wednesday, August 12th. The wind is mostly strong or onshore, and the swell is tiny.

Then, Thursday, August 13th morning brings back a clean 4ft south swell with a light offshore. Nothing huge, but it’s clean. The real gem is Friday, August 14th morning. The swell jumps to 6ft from the south, period is short at 8 seconds, but the wind is a light offshore from the WSW. The energy is strong (906), and the forecast is calling for very good surf. That’s the best looking day in the whole run, though it’s a week and a half away so keep an eye on it.

Bottom line: Dee Why Point is a consistent point break, so it rarely stays flat for long. The best bets are the mornings of July 30th, July 31st, August 1st, and especially August 8th and August 14th. The 14th is the standout.
