Alright, Rusty here, let's run through what’s coming our way. Over the next couple of weeks we’ve got a real mixed bag, but there are a few windows that’ll get the heart racing. The main player is Dee Why Point (Sydney). The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

We start off a bit rough. Monday the 6th kicks things off with a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, period at 10 seconds, but the wind is a cross-shore SSE breeze at 16 mph, making it a bit of a chop fest. The energy is massive, at 1521, but the conditions are messy, so it’s not the best time to paddle out unless you’re keen for a battle.

Tuesday the 7th is where it gets interesting. The swell holds at 10ft from the SSE in the morning, but the wind swings to a cross-offshore S breeze at 16 mph, and things clean right up. The energy jumps to 2203. Then Tuesday afternoon, the swell pushes up to 12ft from the SE with an 11-second period, energy hitting 2574. The wind stays cross-offshore, and it’s looking clean, but honestly, 12ft at Dee Why Point is getting into expert territory – that’s big, powerful, and will be too much for beginners. The direction is right on the money, matching the optimum SSE swell direction, and the longer period means better shaped waves, but it will be hefty. This afternoon on Tuesday the 7th is a standout window for experienced surfers who want a serious session.

Wednesday the 8th drops off a bit with 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon from the SE, energy still strong at 1908 and 1413, but the wind is a bit stiffer. Still cross-offshore, so clean, but the quality is not as high as Tuesday.

Thursday the 9th sees the swell dropping to 6ft from the SE, period 10 seconds. The morning is clean with a light southerly at 6 mph, energy at 750. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-shore SE breeze and light rain. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.

Friday the 10th is a real gem. Morning has a 5ft SE swell with a light offshore WSW breeze at 6 mph. Then Friday afternoon – that’s the best of the first week. 5ft swell from the SE, 10-second period, and *glassy* conditions with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph. Energy is 501. That’s clean, smooth, and will be a joy. This is the standout for the first week for the average surfer. It’s not huge, but it’s perfect.

Saturday the 11th starts with 4ft SE swell and a light cross-offshore NW breeze, clean but small. The afternoon gets blown out by a 16 mph NW wind, so it’s a write-off.

From Sunday the 12th through to Monday the 20th, we have a long dry spell. The swell drops to 1.0ft to 2ft for most of that period, with some weak energy readings (24 to 99). There’s a small bump on the 16th with a short-period 6ft S swell (7 seconds), but it’s messy. This is a real flat patch that lasts over a week.

Then we get a look at something promising again. On Friday the 17th, a 7ft S swell rolls in with an 11-second period, and a light offshore W wind at 6 mph. Energy shoots up to 1390. That’s excellent for experienced surfers – clean, solid, and decent period. That’s a long-range standout, a bit less certain but if it holds, it’ll be a ripper session. Saturday the 18th is smaller at 5ft SSE and Sunday the 19th drops to 4ft, nothing special.

Tuesday the 21st brings another big pulse: 10ft in the morning and 12ft in the afternoon from the S, with cross-offshore winds. Energy at 1827 and 2167. Again, that’s too big for most – strictly for the experts, but if you’re game, it’ll be a wild, powerful day at the Point.

So, honest truth: the two best windows are Friday afternoon the 10th for clean, fun waves, and the afternoon of Tuesday the 7th for a big, expert-level session. The long-range Friday the 17th also has potential if you’re patient.

Keep your eyes on the sky, and your board ready.

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.
