The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the rundown on Dee Why Point.
We’re starting slow and ordinary. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July are small and messy. Swell around 2 to 5 feet from the south-east, but the wind’s all wrong most of the time. Not worth rushing out for.
Saturday the 25th of July is where it picks up. Morning has a clean 5-foot southerly swell with decent cross-off wind. But the afternoon is the real gem: glassy conditions, dead calm, with a clean 4-foot south swell rolling through. That’s a proper session, just watch for the weekend crew.
Sunday the 26th of July morning is another solid one. 5-foot south swell with a nice 11-second period and a light offshore wind. Clean lines, good shape. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th is flat or near-flat. Energy drops to almost nothing. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
Thursday the 30th of July brings a massive 13-foot south swell with a 12-second period. That’s enormous. Combined energy of 7843. This is expert-only territory at the Point. The cross-off wind keeps it clean, but the power is intimidating. Friday the 31st of July morning is still big, at 10 feet from the south (3473 energy) with a clean offshore breeze. That’s the best window for the crew who can handle it.
Saturday the 1st of August is a standout too: 7-foot south-east swell, long 12-second period, and light offshore wind. Clean, solid, and powerful. Sunday the 2nd settles to a more manageable 5-foot with a 10-second period, still clean.
Into the second week it gets smaller. Monday the 3rd is tiny, Tuesday and Wednesday are rough with onshore winds. Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon is worth a mention: 8-foot south-east swell with clean conditions.
Friday the 7th of August morning rounds it out with a glassy 5-foot south-east swell. No wind, clean waves – a nice end to the long-range outlook.
Rusty.

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.
