The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here.
Around Dee Why Point, the next couple of weeks start subdued and get messy in the middle, with only a couple of windows worth paddling out. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions, so pick your days.
Tuesday morning the 11th is tiny – about 0.7m from the east-northeast, but the wind is offshore out of the west at 9 mph, glassy. Water temp is 62°, a bit colder than average. Combined energy is weak (162). Not a lot of juice, but you could get a few clean ones. The afternoon is the real winner for the early period: a south swell bumps to 1.6m, with a light northwesterly breeze. Energy hits 625, and it looks clean. Not the perfect direction for the point, but the best of the first week.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are ordinary – swells between 1m and 1.2m from the south, mornings are clean but weak. Thursday afternoon gets to 1.8m but turns choppy with an east-southeast wind at 9 mph.
From Friday the 14th through Wednesday the 19th, it’s poor. Onshore winds, rain, and lumpy conditions. Saturday the 15th has 1.9m south swell but southerly winds at 16 mph – more for kite gear than a surfboard. Energy is moderate (406) but messy.
Thursday the 20th morning is a small clean window – 0.9m from the east-southeast with light southwesterly winds.
Now, the one to wait for: Monday the 25th morning. A solid 2.5m south swell with a clean southwest cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph. Combined energy is very strong at 1968. That’s expert territory, but if you’ve got the skill, that’s the standout of the whole 16 days. Direction is close to the optimum, so it should line up.
Wednesday the 26th morning drops to 0.9m from the south-southeast, but glassy winds make it clean again, just small.
So, best on offer is Tuesday the 11th afternoon for a fun session, but the big one is Monday the 25th morning if you’re ready for size. Be ready for a rough stretch from the 14th to the 19th – about 6 days of poor quality.
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.
