The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Dee Why Point.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about 1° off the average for this time of year... so pretty standard, nothing to stress about in the wetsuit department.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Friday the 17th has some tiny, weak swell with a rain shower and glassy conditions first thing, but the energy is weak (112) and the period is short. It’s surfable, but only just. By the afternoon, it drops right off. Saturday and Sunday are pretty average with cross-shore winds and small, messy waves. Not worth getting excited about.

Now, Monday the 20th is where things start to look up. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy in the morning. The combined energy is moderate (563), and it’s going to be clean. That’s a solid window for a paddle. The morning session is the one to aim for before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.

Tuesday the 21st morning is also looking tidy – 4ft, ENE, glassy again, with 369 energy. Good follow-up session.

The middle of the week drops off into smaller, ordinary surf, but keep an eye on Saturday the 25th. The morning shows a 4ft S swell, 10-second period, clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (296). That’s a decent little burst of quality for a weekend morning.

Then we hit a bit of a flat spell from Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 28th. Very small, weak swell, mostly under 3ft. A bit of a lull.

But here’s the standout: Wednesday the 29th. We’ve got a 7ft S swell rolling in with an 8-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore and clean. The combined energy is strong at 1125. That’s a proper pulse of energy. The period is a bit short, so it won’t be the most lined-up, but for Dee Why Point, that’s a solid mid-winter swell. Thursday the 30th is also holding decent size with 5ft and clean cross-off winds, energy at 372. The setup is more for experienced surfers given the size.

Friday the 31st sees the swell bump up to 8ft from the SSE, but the wind is howling at 19 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy and messy. That one’s more for the experts or the kite crew.

Overall, the best bets are Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st mornings for clean, fun waves, and the real standout is Wednesday the 29th for size and energy, though it’s a bit raw. Keep an eye on the wind.

Rusty.

Information about the Dee Why Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Dee Why Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dee Why Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dee Why Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dee Why Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dee Why Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
