The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here again. Let's run through the same outlook in feet and inches for you.
Alright, Dee Why Point is looking a bit quiet to start. Saturday the 22nd is a flat one, with a tiny 1ft northeast windswell and the wind all over the place. Not worth the paddle out. There's a dry spell until Sunday morning the 23rd, which is where the first real window opens up. We've got a clean 4ft south swell rolling in with a glassy morning, light northerly breeze. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The combined energy is moderate (283), so it's a fun, clean option for the advanced crew.
After that, it's a bit of a bust. Monday the 24th through Saturday the 29th is mostly small, choppy, and poor. There's a few clean mornings but the swell is tiny and weak. You're looking at a gap of several days with nothing to really chase.
Then we get a proper standout. Tuesday the 1st of September is a good one. The morning brings a clean 6ft south swell, light offshore west-southwest wind, and the energy jumps to moderate (315). The afternoon holds up with a 6ft south-southeast swell and light cross-offshore breeze. That's a solid day of punchy, clean surf for the advanced crew.
But the big one is Friday the 4th of September. This is the standout. We're looking at a solid 10ft south-southeast swell with a very strong energy reading (1287). That's a ton of water moving. The wind is light and cross-offshore all day, so it'll be clean. But at that size, this is strictly for experts only. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit dumpy, but for a big wave charger at Dee Why Point, it's game on. The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of smaller leftovers, but that Friday is the one to wait for.
Stay sharp, and I'll see you out there.

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.
