Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the outlook for Dee Why Point. Water’s at 19°, which is about normal for the season.

Nothin’ good in the first few days. Swell hits 3.0m from the south with an 11-second period, but the wind’s blowin’ 30 km/h from the SSW, messin’ it up. Energy’s strong at 2245. Sunday, Monday stay poor with rain and cross-winds.

Tuesday, July 7, cleans up. 3.0m SSE swell, 10-second period, cross-off wind from the SSW at 25 km/h. Energy 3303. Tuesday afternoon swell shifts SE, 11 seconds, energy 4250, still clean. Wednesday and Thursday get better. Thursday morning, July 9: 2.0m SE swell, 10-second period, light SSW wind at 10 km/h, clean. Energy 757. Wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the pick of the first week. Crowds often here, but it’s worth it.

Friday, July 10: 1.6m SE swell, 9 seconds, offshore WSW wind at 10 km/h, clean. Energy 491. Good, but not as good as Thursday.

Then a flat spell from Sunday, July 12, to Tuesday, July 14. Tiny 0.6m down to 0.1m. Wind 30–35 km/h from the WNW. Nothin’.

Wednesday, July 15: 1.5m south swell, short 8-second period, offshore WSW wind at 30 km/h, clean. Energy 273. Surfable but weak.

Thursday, July 16: monster. 4.5m south swell, 11 seconds, light offshore WSW wind at 15 km/h, glassy in the afternoon with 5.5m swell. Energy 4986 and 7145. Way too big for most—only for experts. Wave comment says it’s too big for this break. Friday and Saturday stay huge. Saturday afternoon, July 18: 3.0m SE swell, 12-second period, offshore WSW wind at 20 km/h, “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” Energy 2476. This is your big-wave standout for the second week.

Sunday, July 19, drops to 1.8m, and by Monday, July 20, it’s 1.0m and poor.

Two standouts: Thursday morning, July 9, for clean, paddle-friendly waves; and Saturday afternoon, July 18, for big, clean, offshore conditions for the experienced crew.

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.

Dee Why Point is 1 km (1 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
