The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the Dee Why region for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but if you’re patient, there’s a solid window of clean, punchy surf headin’ our way.

The first few days are pretty flat. Tuesday the 28th through to Wednesday the 30th of July have just tiny dribbles, with waves under 1 ft and very weak energy (31). It’s a real flat spell, so don’t even bother paddlin’ out. The water temp is sittin’ around 65°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.

Thursday morning the 30th of July, we finally see a pulse of 5 ft S swell creepin’ in with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is WSW offshore at 15 km/h, and the energy is moderate (358). It’s nothin’ earth-shatterin’, but it’s clean. The combo swell energy jumps to 723 in the arvo, but the wind swings cross-shore from the SSE, so it gets a bit lumpy.

Now, Friday the 31st of July – this is the standout. Head to Dee Why Point. The morning brings a solid 7 ft S swell, with an 11-second period, and a clean, gentle offshore WSW breeze at 15 km/h. The combined energy is a strong 1794, so there’s proper grunt in the water. This is a point break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, givin’ you lined-up, powerful waves. It’s advanced territory at this size, so only for the experienced crew. The arvo holds at 7 ft, but the wind shifts cross-offshore, so the morning is the pick. Crowds are ‘often’ here, so expect a few locals out for this one.

Saturday the 1st of August sees the swell ease back to 5 ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period. The morning has a light WNW cross-off breeze, so it’s clean, but the energy is moderate (480). It’s a fun, smaller option. The arvo gets ruined by a NE onshore, so it’s a morning-only session.

Sunday the 2nd of August is similar – 4 ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, and a light NW cross-off in the morning keepin’ it clean (333 energy). The arvo is onshore again, so get in early.

From Monday the 3rd of August onwards, the surf drops right off. Monday morning has a weak 2 ft SE swell (109), and the rest of the week is tiny, with very weak energy right through till the 10th of August. Winds are often onshore or cross-off, but there’s just no swell to work with. The 5th and 6th of August show a bump of 4 ft to 6 ft from the SSE, but with cross-shore winds and only moderate energy (214 to 759), it’s messy and not worth the paddle.

The 7th through to the 12th of August are a write-off. Strong onshore ENE winds (25 km/h) and rain showers ruin any chance of clean surf, with the swell directions and periods all over the shop. The energy is moderate to strong (697 to 1394) on the 7th and 8th, but that’s all wind-chop, not surfable waves. The 9th to the 12th just fade to nothing.

So, if you’re keen, your best bet is Dee Why Point on Friday morning the 31st of July. That’s the one to clear the diary for. Everything else is either flat or blown out.

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.

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.
