The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s coming up for Dee Why Point. The next week and a half is a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get you out of the chair. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout I can see is on Friday the 4th in the morning. We’ve got a clean, glassy start with the wind swinging NNW at only 3 mph – dead glass. Swell is a modest 3 ft out of the south, with a 10-second period that’ll give you some shape. The combined energy is moderate (226), so there’s enough to push you along. It’s only an advanced wave here at Dee Why Point, so not one for grommets, but the conditions will be super clean and uncrowded if you get in early.
After that, the week rolls into some ordinary stuff – small, windy, and often cross-onshore. But hold onto your wetsuit, because Tuesday the 8th morning is a proper treat. The swell jumps to 6 ft out of the south, with a very short period of 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. The combined energy is strong (434). That’s expert territory – anything over 8 ft is expert only, but at 6 ft, it’s solid and punchy. The offshore wind will keep it clean, so for experienced crews, this is your window.
Then we go quiet again. There’s a massive gap with no real good surf until Wednesday the 16th morning. That morning brings a clean 6 ft east swell, with the wind cross-off from the west at 9 mph. The combined energy is again strong (427). This one runs into the afternoon as well, with the wind staying offshore from the WSW at 12 mph and the swell sitting at 5 ft (385 energy). That’s a solid day for the advanced surfer, with clean, offshore lines.
Overall, the best on offer is that Tuesday the 8th morning for the more experienced surfer who wants a bit of power, and then the Wednesday the 16th is your second chance. Don’t bother with the flat, windy days in between – those are for the kites.
Rusty.
