Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty. Alright, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up over the next couple of weeks. The standout window is short and sharp, so you’ll want to be on it. After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch with a few flickers of life way down the track.

The first real action kicks off on Thursday morning, the 27th of August. Dee Why Point is the only spot on the radar, and for a point break, it’s looking pretty decent. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about normal for this time of year. Thursday morning we’ve got a solid S swell coming in at 7 ft, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1370, so there’s plenty of push. The wind is a cross-off from the S at 12 mph, which keeps things clean. This is advanced territory at that size, but the point should handle it well. The swell direction is S, which is not the ideal SSE, but close enough to get the bank working. It’s the best of the run.

Thursday afternoon fades fast as the swell drops to 5 ft and the wind swings cross-on from the SE, making things messy.

Friday morning, the 28th, is a decent second option. The swell drops to 5 ft but comes from a better SSE direction, with a longer 11-second period. The wind is light offshore from the WSW at 3 mph – glassy, clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 700. It’s a solid, clean morning but not as punchy as Thursday. Friday afternoon turns to rubbish with a cross-shore wind.

Saturday morning, the 29th, sees smaller 4 ft SE swell, but the wind is a light offshore from the SW, keeping it tidy. The energy is moderate at 439. It’s a small, clean wave – good for a longboard or a bigger board. From Saturday afternoon onwards, things get pretty ordinary. The swell drops and the winds aren’t friendly. There’s a long gap of small, weak, or onshore conditions from Saturday afternoon through to the end of the first week of September.

Then, on Monday, the 7th of September, there’s a flicker of hope. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the S, with a 10-second period and a moderate combined energy of 531. The wind is a cross-off from the NW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. But it’s only a marginal call, and the rest of the week is small again.

The only other thing brewing is late on Friday, the 11th of September. A tiny 1.0 ft swell from the SSE with a very long 21-second period – that’s a groundswell, but it’s just too small to do anything with.

So, the call is clear: if you’re keen, get out Thursday morning the 27th or Friday morning the 28th. After that, it’s a long wait.

Rusty.
