The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.

Alright, the long-range models are pointing to Dee Why Point as the only game in town for the next couple weeks, but it’s a mixed bag. We've got a bit of a wait before anything worthwhile shows, then a few glimmers of hope.

The first option rolls in on Friday, July 31st. We’re looking at a solid 7ft to 7ft southerly swell, with a period around 9 to 10 seconds. That’s generating some serious grunt – the combined energy is sitting at 1284 to 1325 (moderate to strong wave energy). It’s a powerful swell, but the catch is a cross-off wind that'll put a bit of a side-wind texture on the face. It’s clean enough for the experienced crowd, but with that size and a 2/10 score, it’s not the cleanest.

The real standout window looks to be from Saturday morning August 1st, into Sunday morning August 2nd. On Saturday, we’ve got a 5ft SSE swell with a 9-second period easing through the day. The morning has light offshore winds from the WSW, then the arvo goes absolutely glassy with a NE breeze at just 3 mph. That’s a rare treat. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. The combined energy is a moderate 396, dropping to 367. It’ll be a bit of a lineup out there, because Dee Why Point can get crowded on a clean weekend, but for a point break, that’s just part of the deal.

Sunday morning is another beauty on paper. A clean 5ft SSE groundswell with a very long 12-second period rolling in. That’s the kind of period that gets a point like Dee Why humming, with proper lines and long walls. The combined energy is a solid 743 (moderate). The wind is a light northerly cross-shore, so it won’t be glass, but it’ll be clean enough. The crowd will be there, no doubt.

After that, we hit a flat spell. From Sunday afternoon right through the first half of the following week, it drops off. There’s a few days from August 4th where the swell fades to 0.7ft, so the board stays in the car.

Things start to look interesting again on Wednesday August 5th, but it's very ordinary until Thursday the 6th. That morning we get a clean 5ft southerly swell with offshore WSW winds, and the combined energy is a moderate 446. That’s clean, and the wave quality scores suggest good surf. Another decent window is Friday August 7th morning, with a 5ft SSE swell and light offshore winds – clean and cruisy.

There’s another gap until Tuesday August 11th afternoon, where a 6ft southerly swell with a 10-second period and a very high combined energy of 839 rolls in. That’s a heavy amount of water moving. The cross-off wind keeps it reasonably clean, but it’s pushing towards expert-only territory at that size.

Finally, looking way out to Thursday August 13th, we have a small 3ft easterly groundswell with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is 337 (moderate) and the winds are offshore. That late call is promising, but a long way out.

The Pick: If you want the cleanest, most user-friendly session, hit Saturday afternoon August 1st at Dee Why Point. Glassy conditions on a solid 5ft SSE swell are hard to beat. For the biggest, most powerful swell that’s still manageable for experienced surfers, Tuesday afternoon August 11th is worth a look, but be ready for that 6ft Southerly.

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.

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.
