The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching Dee Why Point like a hawk. Let’s be straight up: the first week and a half is a real struggle. We’ve got a long, dry gap from now until the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, with nothing worth paddling out for. Small swells, onshore slop, and messy conditions dominate. You’re better off waxing your board and waiting.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Thursday morning, the 13th of August. A clean 5 ft swell from the SSW, with a moderate offshore breeze from the SW. The water is sitting at 63°, about 2° cooler than usual for this time of year – feels a bit nippy, but nothing a good wetsuit can’t fix. The combined energy is moderate at 335. This is your best bet for the near-term, but don’t expect perfection. It’s a solid option for advanced surfers, but the crowds are likely to be there.
Thursday afternoon the 13th turns a bit wild. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the S, with a combined energy of 1156 – that’s strong. It’s clean and cross-off, but with that size, it’s only for the experts. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s not a super long groundswell, but it’s got punch. The wind is a steady 12 mph cross-off, so it’ll be walled up and testing.
Friday the 14th offers a smaller, gentler morning: 4 ft from the S, clean with a light offshore breeze. That’s surfable, but ordinary. Not a standout.
Now, here’s the real standout. Look at Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning brings a massive 12 ft swell from the S, with a combined energy of 1601 – that’s very strong. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s clean. But fair warning: this is too big for this break. The forecast says it’s too big, and I agree. Only absolute experts should even consider it. The afternoon swells to 13 ft with a 12 mph onshore wind, making it chop and junk. That’s a miss.
So, overall: the best on offer is Thursday morning the 13th of August for a clean, manageable session. The Saturday the 22nd morning is a big-wave spectacle, but only if you’re a lunatic. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a bust.
Rusty.
