Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Dee Why Point.

Right off the bat, Tuesday is a complete write-off. Tiny, weak, and all over the shop. You’d be wasting your time even looking at it. The water temp is sitting around 64°F, which is right about where you’d expect for this time of year, so no dramas there.

Things kick into gear properly on Wednesday morning. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the south with a 10-second period, and the energy reading jumps to 2024, which is strong. The wind is a cross-offshore, so the face should be clean. But mate, that's a lot of water for this place. Wednesday afternoon pushes up to 12ft and the energy goes through the roof at 2172. This is big, powerful, and it's only for the experienced crew. The south swell direction is right on the money for the point, but it might just be too much of a good thing. This is the standout window; if you're good enough, Wednesday afternoon is where you want to be. For the rest of us, Thursday morning with 8ft from the south-southeast still has some size, but the tide might make it a bit tricky.

After that, it fades. Thursday afternoon drops to 6ft and the wind goes onshore, making it messy. Friday is smaller and junky, and by the weekend we’re down to mush. Saturday morning has offshore wind but only 3ft of swell – not worth suiting up for.

There’s a bit of a gap here, a few days of nothing much. The swell tries to pick up again on Monday afternoon with 5ft, but the wind is all cross-shore and it’s not going to be any good. Tuesday the 22nd sees a couple of metres of swell, but again, the wind is messy and it’ll be a struggle.

From the 23rd through to the 26th, it’s just poor. Lots of onshore winds, smaller swells, nothing with any real push or shape. The energy readings stay in the low to mid hundreds, which tells you it’s weak. There’s a chance we see some kite surfers out having a go with the conditions, but for a paddle surfer, it’s grim.

The end of the month shows a bit of size returning on the 26th with 6ft but it’s from the northeast, which is the wrong direction for this break, and the wind is on it. The last few days of the month drop back down to 3ft to 4ft of short-period junk. Clean enough with the cross-offshore wind, but there’s no power behind it.

So, the summary is: Wednesday is the day. Get on it early if you can handle it. After that, it’s a waiting game for something better. This spot can get good with the right south swell, so don't write it off, but the next week and a half is looking pretty bleak.

Rusty.
