The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what we got.

The next week and a bit is all about waiting for the good stuff. We've got some clean, surfable waves early, but truth be told, the real juice is at the tail end of the forecast. There's a massive pulse of energy comin' through, but it gets real big, real fast, so you gotta pick your moment.

The Early Days: Sunday 6th to Tuesday 8th

We start at Dee Why Point (Sydney) on Sunday morning. It's small, about 3ft from the SSW, with a moderate offshore wind keeping it tidy. The energy is weak (135), so not much push, but it's rideable. Water temp is 64°, which is about normal for this time of year. Sunday afternoon is blown out, so make your moves in the AM.

Monday morning is a highlight. The wind drops to almost nothing—a glassy 5 km/h offshore—and we have a 5ft SSE swell. It's got a bit more juice (261) and should be super clean. Short period wind swell, 8 seconds, but on a point it can still offer some fun ones. Don't sleep on it.

Tuesday brings some more size. The morning has 8ft of SSE at 9 seconds with an offshore breeze. It's got some power (810), and it's still clean. This is probably the pick of the early days if you're after a bit more wave. It's getting a bit much for the groms, so be mindful. Afternoon drops to 7ft but the wind goes onshore and it gets messy.

The Middle Stretch: Wednesday 9th to Sunday 13th

Wednesday is a washout. Strong winds from the SSW up to 40 km/h, and the swell jumps to 10ft. The energy is there (1098), but it's raw and unorganized. This is for the brave only, and honestly, it's probably more of a look-and-see day. I'd skip it.

Thursday is similar. Still big, with a 10ft S swell at 10 seconds, but the wind backs off slightly. The energy is massive (2966), but conditions are still marginal. Big, powerful, and not for the faint of heart.

Finally, on Friday morning, it cleans up. The swell drops to a solid 7ft from the S, with a light offshore from the SW. The period is 10 seconds, and the energy is still strong (974). This is the first day where it's looking genuinely good—the forecast says "very good surf conditions." This is your first standout day.

Saturday morning is also a winner. A drop to 6ft from the S with a glassy 5 km/h cross-off breeze. The period stretches to 11 seconds, a proper groundswell, and it should be absolutely lined up. The energy is still solid (797). Another great window.

But then we hit the flat zone. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday, it's mostly poor. Onshore winds, dropping swell, and generally messy conditions. A couple of small, clean windows here and there, but nothing to write home about.

The Big Finish: Thursday 18th to Sunday 20th

Alright, here's where I get fired up. The waiting pays off.

Thursday morning, the swell goes nuts. We're talkin' 13ft of SSE with a 12-second period, and the energy reading is off the charts at 4961. The wind is cross-shore, but it doesn't matter—this is too big for Dee Why Point. The forecast straight-up says it. This is a day for tow-surfers and the truly unhinged. The afternoon is even bigger, hitting 16ft with over 12,000 combined energy. This is a historic swell event.

Friday morning, the 19th, is the day. The swell drops to a still-mighty 8ft from the SSE, but the period is a solid 12 seconds. More importantly, we get a light offshore from the WSW, making it glassy. The energy is still enormous (2157). This is the standout of the entire outlook. Big, clean, powerful waves. If you can handle it, this is the session you've been waiting for.

Saturday morning, the 20th, still has some size, with 6ft from the SSE at a very long 13-second period. But the wind starts to come onshore from the north, making it less clean. There's energy (1200), but you'll need to find a sheltered spot.

And then it fades. The swell drops off quickly into next week, leaving small, clean leftovers but no real power.

So, bottom line: a few small windows early, a messy middle, and a proper, heavy finish on Friday the 19th. That's the one. Circle it.

Rusty out.

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.
