Alright, let’s break it down for the Dee Why Point crew.

We start off slow, but Saturday morning (July 4th) delivers a clean 4 ft south swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the west. Water’s a normal 66°F – nothing crazy. Combined energy is moderate (333) and it’s a solid 12-second groundswell, so expect some nice lines on the point. This is the best early call: clean, rideable, and fun.

Sunday morning (July 5th) jumps hard – 10 ft south swell with a fresh 30 km/h cross-off from the SSW. That’s a big jump, and combined energy is huge (2027). For a point, that’s expert-only territory – it’ll be boiling and heavy. This size sticks around through Monday and Tuesday with 8 ft to 10 ft SSE swells and still that stiff cross-off wind. Energy stays strong to very strong (over 1000). Not a casual day.

Midweek (Wednesday July 8th to Friday July 10th) eases a bit but stays chunky. Thursday morning has 7 ft from the SSE with clean cross-off wind and moderate energy (1018). Friday morning (July 10th) is a standout: 7 ft SE groundswell with an 11-second period and true offshore from the west at just 10 km/h. Combined energy is over 1000 (1051) and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” Glassy, clean, and solid – grab that session.

Saturday July 11th morning drops to 5 ft from the SE, light cross-off from the NW, still clean and fun (energy 429). After that, we hit a 5-day lull from Sunday the 12th through Wednesday the 15th – tiny swells from 0.7 ft to 3 ft, mostly onshore or too weak. Not worth paddling out.

Thursday July 16th sees a minor bump to 5 ft south swell, but it’s marginal and nothing special. Then look ahead to July 18th and 19th – that’s 10 days out, so promising but uncertain. Saturday afternoon (18th) shows 12 ft from the south, light cross-off wind, but the report says it’s too big for this break. Sunday the 19th hits 13 ft to 15 ft south swell with offshore wind – massive energy (over 5000). For a point, that’s survival, not a fun surf.

Bottom line: Saturday morning (July 4th) and Friday morning (July 10th) are your cleanest, best windows. The big stuff mid-week is for experts only, and the long-range is huge but maybe too much. Keep watching, but don’t miss those two.

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.

Dee Why Point is 1 km (1 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
