The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Dee Why Point.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but some serious muscle shows up later. The first proper surfable day is Thursday morning the 24th of July, with a clean 5ft swell from the south, period around 10 seconds – decent grunt for a point break. The WSW wind at 9 mph is offshore, making for clean lines. Expect moderate energy levels (438), and the water’s sitting at 64°F, pretty much normal for this time of year, which is about average. This is a consistent spot, so you can bank on it.
The real standout, though, is Sunday morning the 2nd of August. It’s a big one – 12ft of south swell, 10-second period, with a gentle offshore breeze from the southwest at 9 mph. The combined energy is massive (3557), but listen – that size is only for experienced surfers. Over 8ft, it’s expert territory. The wind is offshore and clean, but that much power at Dee Why means it’s going to be challenging. It’s often crowded here, and with that kind of swell, expect a crew.
There is a bit of a run from the 29th of July through the 31st where we’re scraping the barrel with tiny stuff and poor conditions, so don’t bother. And from the 4th of August onwards, it’s just too big and wonky, with cross-onshore winds making a mess. Glassy conditions roll in on the 6th but again, 13ft is only for the brave.
Best bet? Friday the 7th of August morning: 10ft from the southeast with a 13-second period, light offshore wind, and the energy reading is 3393. It’s big, but that long-period groundswell will run nicely down the point. It’s only for experts, but if you’ve got the bottle, that’s the session.
So, to sum it: Thursday the 24th is your friendly start, but the big dog is Sunday the 2nd and Friday the 7th of August for the bold crew.
Rusty.
