The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down Dee Why Point over the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a real slow starter – you’re gonna be sittin’ on the beach for about a week with nothin’ worth paddlin’ for. The wind just won’t cooperate and the swell is flat as a tack.
From Saturday the 15th through Saturday the 22nd, it’s pretty grim. Swell’s tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is a mess – cross or cross-onshore most of the time, choppin’ it all up. The water is 62°, a bit colder than normal for this time of year. There’s a quick window Wednesday morning the 19th with a light offshore breeze and 3 ft swell, but it’s nothing to write home about. Honestly, it’s a full week of poor waves.
Finally, Sunday the 23rd morning shows up. Early offshore wind from the WSW with a 4 ft S swell and a 12-second period – that’s real groundswell with some punch and shape. Combined energy is 355, moderate, and it’s comin’ from the S, which is the sweet spot for this point. Waves should wrap in clean, but expect company; this spot stays consistent and people know it. That morning is the best wave you’ll see for the first ten days.
Now strap in, ’cause Wednesday the 26th the ocean goes ballistic. A massive southerly swell arrives – 10 ft to 12 ft waves with 10-second periods, and energy readings over 2600. By Thursday and Friday, you’re lookin’ at 14 ft to 16 ft faces, 12-13 second periods, and energy numbers like 14,926. That’s expert-only big wave territory, and honestly it might be too much for Dee Why Point. Winds are glassy or light offshore early, so it’ll be clean, but this is serious. The absolute standout days are Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th mornings – glassy, clean 14 ft to 16 ft S swell. Massive, powerful, and beautiful if you’ve got the stones for it.
By Sunday the 30th, the swell drops to around 6 ft with onshore chop, and that’s your lot. So here’s the deal: wait till Sunday the 23rd morning for a decent session, then the following week delivers a monumental swell for experts only. Pick your moment, and respect the ocean.
