The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for Dee Why Point over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean spell, and there are a few gaps where you’re better off leaving the board in the car.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 22nd of August is flat with a tiny 1ft north-easterly windswell and a weak energy reading of just 15. It’s not happening. Sunday the 23rd shows a glimmer of hope with a glassy morning and a south swell bumping to 4ft, but the wave energy is still only moderate at 243. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. We’ve then got a run of days, from Monday through to Saturday the 29th, where the surf is small, the winds are messy, and the energy readings mostly sit below 200. It’s a proper dry patch.

Now, the standout window arrives on the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. The south swell comes through at a solid 3ft with a period of 9 seconds, but it’s the conditions that make it special – light and clean with a glassy feel. The combined energy is a moderate 285. For Dee Why Point, that’s a real session. Keep in mind this is an advanced break and crowds turn up often, so expect some company. Water temp is about 63°F, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, but nothing too wild.

Looking further ahead, a bit of a promise shows up on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning is marginal, but the afternoon brings a 4ft south swell, a period of 11 seconds, and a clean, strong offshore wind blowing at 16 mph from the west. That’s a solid energy reading of 398 and it should produce some clean, lined-up waves. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a hopeful look, but it’s the best bet in the second week.

Overall, save your energy for that Sunday the 30th morning and maybe keep an eye on that Thursday the 3rd afternoon. The rest of the time, you might just be watching the horizon.

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. 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.
