Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lining up on the Northern Beaches for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one main player, Dee Why Point, so I’ll be keeping it real about what’s on offer there.

First up, the first few days are pretty average. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off with tiny 2 to 2ft S swell and strong winds making a mess of things. The combined energy is weak (92). Not worth paddling out. Friday the 4th morning shows some life with a 4ft S swell, 10-second period, offshore WSW breeze at 10 km/h. Wave energy jumps to moderate (283), and conditions look clean. That’s the first real nod of the period. It’s a small but clean window for the advanced crew. The afternoon on Friday gets ruined by onshore ENE winds though.

Saturday the 5th is small and messy, and Sunday the 6th morning has a 4ft S swell (289 energy) with a cross-off breeze, but it’s tagged as marginal – likely tricky with the swell period at 11 seconds. That long period can make Dee Why a bit straight, so keep that in mind.

Now, Monday the 7th morning is a true standout. We get a 4ft S swell, 10-second period, and glassy conditions with N wind at just 5 km/h. Combined energy is 272 – moderate – but that glass is a huge positive. Expect clean lines. This is the best of the near-term. Light crowds possible here, but it’s a point break that handles a crowd okay. Water temps are about average for early spring, nothing weird.

Tuesday the 8th morning sees a bigger 6ft SSE groundswell, but with a short 8-second period and cross-off SSW wind at 20 km/h (472 energy – moderate-strong). That’s pushing into advanced-only territory for size and the short period will make it fat. Afternoon gets onshore chop.

Thursday the 10th morning is another decent pulse: 4ft S swell, 11-second period, clean cross-off SW wind, and energy hits 632 – strong. This one’s got some grunt and shape potential. Glassy Friday morning the 11th also has 4ft S swell, clean offshore wind, moderate-strong energy (381). Both these mornings should offer good walls for the experienced.

After that, from the 12th into the 16th, we hit a long dead patch. Tiny swells under 2ft, poor wind, onshores or strong cross-off breezes that just don’t line up. Energy drops to weak or very weak (22 to 78). There’s nothing to recommend for a paddle session for nearly a week.

Then on Thursday the 17th morning, a 4ft S swell returns with 265 energy, but it’s still tagged as poor surf conditions – likely the wind or period not playing ball. The run continues through the 18th with only 2ft and fresh WNW winds. No diamonds in the rough at the end.

So the overall vibe? There are two windows that stand out: Monday 7th morning and the stretch from Thursday 10th to Friday 11th mornings. Both offer clean, surfable S swell with good winds. Monday morning with that glassy surface is probably your pick of the fortnight. After that, it’s a long quiet spell until the last couple of days of the forecast – but those are still poor quality. Get on it early in the week or you’ll be waiting.

Stay stoked,

Rusty
