The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s comin’ our way.

The next 16 days are a real rollercoaster for Dee Why Point. We’ve got some clean, fun surf early on, then a flat spell in the middle, and a massive, powerful pulse in the second week. The absolute standout is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. That’s the one you want to be ready for.

We kick off properly on Friday morning, July 24th. Dee Why Point is looking solid with a 6ft S swell at 9 seconds. The wind is clean offshore from the SW, so it’ll be well-shaped and lined up. The water’s at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Combined wave energy is a solid moderate (882). That’s a damn good start to the weekend.

Friday afternoon the wind swings ESE and it goes cross-on, dropping the quality a bit. Saturday morning, July 25th, sees a clean 5ft S swell with a W cross-off breeze, and then Saturday afternoon turns glassy. A 4ft S swell with zero wind. That’s going to be buttery smooth if you can get out there. Sunday morning, July 26th, is back to clean offshore conditions with a 5ft S swell.

Then it gets quiet. From Monday, July 27th, through to Saturday, August 1st, the surf drops right off. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves. A few clean mornings, sure, but the swell is too small to get excited about. It’s a real lull in the action.

Now, hold on to your board. Sunday, August 2nd is a different beast. Morning sees a massive 15ft S swell. That’s a serious amount of water, and the combined energy is through the roof (5073). The wind is light and offshore from the WNW. The notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break. This is expert territory only. Unless you’ve got the skills and the board, you’ll be watching from the rocks. The afternoon is just as big.

Monday, August 3rd, the swell drops to 8ft and the wind goes cross-off, but it’s still a chunky, powerful swell. The energy is still high (988). This is still a serious, Kitesurfing might be the better call here if you’re not keen on the paddle-out.

The real gem, the one that’s got me stoked, is Thursday, August 6th through Friday, August 7th. Thursday morning sees a 6ft SE swell with clean, light S winds. The energy is strong (862). But Thursday afternoon, the wind turns cross-off, and that SE swell jumps to 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, with energy hitting 1469. This is a point break, so it should handle that long period beautifully, offering up some proper, long, racy walls. Friday morning, August 7th, is the absolute pick of the window. A 8ft ESE swell at 13 seconds, with clean offshore SW winds. The energy is massive (1736). This is a big, powerful, clean swell that will have Dee Why Point firing. It’s for experienced surfers, but it’s going to be world-class.

After that, it drops off again through the 8th, but that run from Sunday the 2nd through to Friday the 7th is a wild ride.

Stay safe out there.
