Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the start of this window is a bit of a let-down. Monday afternoon is a washout with the cross-off wind tearing up Dee Why Point, making it messy. Not worth paddling out for that weak, short-period NE swell.

The good stuff starts to build on Tuesday morning. The wind swings offshore from the WSW, cleaning things up for a fun, clean session. It’s not big, but it’s clean. Then Tuesday afternoon is where it really starts to fire. The swell jumps to 6ft from the S with a solid 11-second period, and that cross-off wind keeps the surf clean. This is the standout of the week. The energy is strong (706) and it should be lining up well on the point.

Wednesday morning holds some decent 3ft of S swell, but the wind goes a bit cross-off. Still clean, but not as good as Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon drops off, just ordinary. Thursday morning looks great again – clean 5ft of S swell with offshore WSW winds. Another solid one. Thursday afternoon turns to rubbish though, with that cross-shore wind chopping it all up.

Friday holds some clean, small waves with light offshore winds, but nothing too exciting. Saturday and Sunday are a total write-off with rain and cross-onshore winds mushing up whatever small swell there is. The energy drops away. It’s a frustrating run.

Then we hit a bit of a flat spell. The middle of next week looks poor, with weak, short-period swell and garbage winds. There's a few tiny glimmers – a glassy Wednesday morning and a clean Thursday morning – but the swell is tiny and weak. This run of ordinary conditions looks to stretch for several days.

The second week gets a bit more promising at the very end. Monday the 24th looks messy, but that afternoon shows a pulse of 6ft S swell, again with strong energy (682). It’s just a shame the wind is cross-onshore. It’ll be a battle.

Finally, Tuesday the 25th is your other chance. A 5ft S swell with cross-off winds from the WNW. That's clean, and a decent way to end the window. It’s more promising than anything else in that second week, but these longer-range calls are always less certain.

The water temp is a bit colder than average for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting the steamer.

All in all, Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning this week are your best bets. They should be worth the paddle out.
