The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for Dee Why Point. We’ve got some solid swell on the way, but the wind’s going to be a pest for most of it. The first real standout is Monday the 20th – that’s the one to circle. After that, there’s a few glimmers, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing like that Monday morning.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’re kicking off with a pulse of S swell on Wednesday the 15th, pushing 8ft on the face with a 10-second period. That’s got some serious energy behind it (1160), but the wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 19 mph. It’s clean, but it’s a beast – definitely for the experienced crew only. The swell drops a touch on Thursday but the wind stays nasty, and by Friday the 17th, it’s gone to mush. We’ve got a dead stretch from Friday through to Sunday with poor conditions and tiny waves.
Now, Monday the 20th morning – that’s the pick of the forecast. We’ve got a 6ft ENE swell rolling in with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy. I’m talking dead calm (3 mph from the SSW). That’s clean, lined-up waves at Dee Why Point. The energy is strong (668) and it’s going to be a joy. The morning is a genuine standout. The afternoon turns onshore, so get in early.
Tuesday the 21st morning isn’t bad either – 5ft ENE swell, clean with a light cross-off from the NW. The energy is moderate (406), and it’s surfable, but the best window has passed. Wednesday the 22nd morning has a 4ft ENE swell, clean offshore from the WSW, but it’s a step down in size. The rest of the first week is ordinary.
The second week gets a bit messy. There’s a spike of S swell on Friday the 24th, hitting 7ft, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore, making it choppy and poor. The energy is moderate (665). Not worth getting excited about. The next few days are small and weak, with a bit of a clean-up on Tuesday the 28th morning – 5ft S swell, 10-second period, clean with a cross-off. That’s okay, but not a standout. The period is solid enough for a point break, but the size is moderate.
So, to sum it up: Monday the 20th morning is your best bet. Clean, solid, and glassy. After that, the 22nd and 28th mornings are worth a look if you’re desperate, but don’t expect fireworks. Crowds are often at Dee Why Point, so be ready for company.
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.

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).
