The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the Dee Why Point forecast for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner to start, but there's a real pulse of energy comin' our way if you're willin' to wait. The water's sittin' around 63°, which is a touch on the cooler side for this time of year, nothin' too wild.

The first week is pretty quiet. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are a write-off – tiny 1 ft to 2 ft dribble with poor conditions. Friday the 7th morning has a little 2 ft bump from the SSE, but it's ordinary. The weekend is more of the same, small and messy. There's a solid 4-day gap with no real recommendations here.

Monday the 10th is a no-go; the swell jumps to 6 ft from the ENE but it's blowin' a fresh 22 mph westerly, makin' it a wild, poor setup – more a kite surfer's day than a paddle surfer's. Tuesday the 11th is where it starts to get interestin'. The morning sees a clean 3 ft S swell with a light WNW wind, and by the afternoon, it's glassy with 4 ft from the S. That's the first real window of clean, surfable waves, but nothin' huge.

The standout of the whole forecast is definitely Tuesday the 18th of August. Early morning, Dee Why Point is lookin' absolute magic. We're talkin' a solid 10 ft southerly groundswell with an 11-second period, and it's glassy – not a breath of wind. The combined energy is massive at 4566, so there's a lot of power in the water. This is excellent surf, but it's for experienced surfers only; that size and energy will be a handful. The swell direction from the SSE is a good match for the point, and with it bein' a point break, it should handle that long-period groundswell beautifully. Expect crowds here, it's a well-known spot.

The days around that standout are worth mentionin' too. Monday the 17th has a 8 ft to 10 ft S swell, but it's a little onshore, so it's more marginal. Wednesday the 19th still has size at 8 ft from the SE, but again, the wind is messy. Thursday the 20th afternoon brings a nice clean 5 ft SE swell, with a cross-offshore breeze, makin' for very good conditions, a solid option if the big day is too much.

So, in a nutshell, if you're an advanced surfer, mark Tuesday the 18th on your calendar. That's the one. The rest of the window is small or average, with a couple of clean windows on the 11th and the 20th for a more relaxed session. Stay keen, the ocean's got a pulse.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
