The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Dee Why Point.
The window starts off pretty average, but there’s a solid pulse of surf building into the second week that looks like the real highlight. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there, just your standard winter chill.
We kick off on Saturday the 25th with a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday morning has 5ft swell from the S at 11 seconds, combined energy of 605 (moderate), but with a 12 mph W cross-off breeze, it’s clean but a bit bumpy – pretty marginal, honestly. The afternoon is where it gets interesting: a glassy 4ft Southerly swell with only 3 mph N breeze, energy at 363 (moderate). That’s a proper window of clean, fun waves. Not the biggest, but the conditions are sweet.
Sunday the 26th morning is the first standout. We’ve got 6ft from the S at 11 seconds (733 energy – solid moderate), with a 9 mph WSW offshore wind. That’s clean, punchy, and lined up. This is the best session of the first week. The afternoon goes downhill with an ESE cross-on, so get on it early.
Monday the 27th morning offers a small 3ft S swell, 9 seconds (172 energy), and a light WSW offshore – clean but ordinary. After that, the surf drops right off through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We’re looking at tiny 0.3ft to 2ft swells with no real quality, despite some offshore winds. There’s a bit of a gap here for a few days where it’s just not worth paddling out.
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August stay small, with 2ft to 3ft S swell. The morning of Saturday the 1st has a WSW offshore on 2ft (120 energy – weak) – clean but small.
Then, hold onto your board. Monday the 3rd of August morning is the standout of the whole forecast. We get a 6ft SE swell, 7-second period (674 energy – moderate), with a 6 mph WNW cross-off breeze. That’s a decent push of clean, fun waves for advanced surfers. The energy is solid. Tuesday the 4th morning also looks good: 5ft from the ESE at 8 seconds (489 energy) with a NW cross-off. Not quite as clean as Monday, but a good session.
The rest of the second week keeps some energy in the water. Wednesday the 5th morning has 5ft ESE swell (405 energy) with a W cross-off, and Wednesday afternoon goes glassy with 5ft ESE swell (349 energy) and a light NW breeze – that’s another quality window. Thursday and Friday mornings hold 4ft to 5ft ESE/E swell, but with some cross or cross-on winds, they’re less clean. The very end of the period, Sunday the 9th morning, gets messy with strong 22 mph WNW winds.
So, in short: forget this first few days unless you’re desperate. The standout is Sunday 26th July morning with that 6ft offshore swell – that’s your best bet. The second standout is Monday 3rd August morning with 6ft clean SE swell. Both are for experienced surfers. Winds are offshore and conditions are clean. Crowds are often here, so expect company if it’s firing.

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 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.
