The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Dee Why Point. Things are pretty quiet to start off, but we’ve got a bit of a rollercoaster ahead.

Right now, there’s no real action worth paddling out for. The first few days – Tuesday the 1st through to the end of the first week – are looking pretty flat and ordinary. Mostly small, weak swell around 2ft to 3ft, with short period, and the winds are all over the place. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We’ve got a long gap of nothing decent until the second week. The first real chance of something surfable comes on Sunday the 6th, but it’s only marginal. A 4ft S swell with 11-second period shows up in the morning, and the combined energy is moderate at 400, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. Not worth getting excited about.

The standout window is looking like Saturday the 11th, but here’s the catch – the swell is predicted to be huge. We’re talking a 16ft S swell with 12-second period on Friday the 11th morning, with incredible energy at 12168. That’s way too big for Dee Why Point, which is a point break and loves a long period groundswell, but this is just monstrous. The wind is light cross-off in the morning, which would be perfect, but it’s only for experts – and even then, it’s calling it too big. The afternoon drops to 12ft, still massive.

The real sweet spot, if you’re brave, might be the following morning, Saturday the 12th. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the SSE, with short period at 8 seconds, but the wind is light offshore from the SW, making it clean. The combined energy is moderate at 409. It’s a decent option, but the short period means it won’t have that long, lined-up power Dee Why Point is known for.

Then, on Monday the 14th, we’ve got a real gem. A 4ft ESE swell with 10-second period, combined energy of 670 (moderate, but solid), and the wind is glassy in the morning. That’s the pick of the period – clean, glassy conditions, and a decent sized swell. The ESE direction isn’t the absolute optimum for Dee Why Point (which prefers SSE), but it’s close enough, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be smooth and fun. The crowd factor is “often” here, so expect a few locals out, but it’s worth it.

After that, the swell fades again into the second week, with small, weak surf and choppy winds.

So, if you’re holding out for the best, Monday the 14th morning is your standout. Clean, glassy, and a good little ESE swell. The massive Friday the 11th is a spectacle, but it’s a big wave day for experts only. Everything else in the first week is a write-off.
