Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the long-range outlook for Dee Why Point coming at you in feet and miles per hour. Let’s get into it because we’ve got a big slab of time to work through.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty tough start. From Tuesday morning all the way through to Thursday morning next week, there’s not a single good session on the cards. That’s a long gap – about a week and a half with basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is either tiny, on the wrong angle, or the wind has it chopped up. It’s a real dry spell for Dee Why Point.

But hold on, because things finally turn around on Friday morning, the 18th of September. That’s the standout. The morning brings a glassy, clean start with a 4ft swell from the south, and the wind is dead calm – that’s glass. The wave energy is moderate (350), and with that period around 9 seconds, it’s got some shape. For a point break, this is the one to aim for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy to report there.

After that Friday morning window, it goes back to ordinary. The wind swings onshore in the afternoon and stays messy through the weekend. Then we get another interesting moment on Tuesday morning, the 22nd. Look, it’s a bit further out, so take it with a grain of salt, but the forecast has glassy conditions again with a 5ft south swell. That’s a solid size with moderate-to-strong energy (802). The period is 10 seconds, so decent shape. If this holds, Tuesday morning could be another good one, especially if the wind stays as calm as predicted. This is your second standout, but remember it’s a week and a half away.

After that Tuesday, the rest of the run into the end of September looks pretty poor. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the northeast, and the swell gets messy or weak. There’s nothing else I’d get excited about. Even when the swell bumps up a bit, the conditions just don’t line up.

So, the plan: wait it out until Friday morning the 18th, and maybe circle Tuesday the 22nd on the calendar. That’s your best bet for clean, rideable waves at Dee Why Point. Crowds are often a factor here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself. I’ll be there for that Friday glass-off.
