The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it to imperial. This is Rusty, giving you the lowdown for Dee Why Point.
Water temp is about 65°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
First real surf hits on Thursday morning, July 30th. We see waves at 5ft from the south, with moderate energy (449). Offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph keeps it clean. The period’s short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft, but a fun, uncrowded morning.
Friday morning, July 31st, is better. 6ft south swell, 10-second period, pushing the energy up (603). Offshore SW wind at 9 mph. Clean, shapely, and a proper step up.
Best of the first week is Sunday morning, August 2nd. 5ft from the SSE with a long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell with strong energy (871). Wind is light cross-off from the NW at 9 mph. Expect long, clean lines and bigger gaps between sets. Ideal for experienced surfers on the point. Sunday afternoon glass off with a 5ft SSE swell and offshore W wind at just 3 mph. Dead clean.
Monday the 3rd is blown out with strong 22 mph south winds.
There’s a long dry spell after that – nothing decent until Monday morning, August 10th, which has small, messy surf. Not worth it.
Tuesday morning, August 11th, brings a late highlight: 5ft ENE swell with an 11-second period, and a light cross-off NW wind at 6 mph (energy 581). Clean, workable, a solid session to end the run. The afternoon jumps to 7ft but with onshore NE wind, too messy and big for most.
Best bet: Sunday morning, August 2nd. 5ft SSE groundswell, 13 seconds, light cross-off wind. Clean, powerful point surfing. Expect a few others out.
Next best: Tuesday morning, August 11th. 5ft ENE, 11 seconds, clean cross-off wind.
Rusty.
