The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
We've got Dee Why Point on the radar for the next couple of weeks. It's a point break that needs a solid SSE swell to really light up, and that's exactly what we're tracking. The water is sitting at 63.7°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The week starts off a bit messy. Sunday the 19th sees some cross-on wind and a 5.9ft ENE swell, but it's not clean. Monday the 20th is where it gets interesting. The morning is a real standout with a light WNW cross-off breeze cleaning up that 5.6ft ENE swell. The wave energy is moderate (803), and it's going to be clean. That's the pick of the first few days.
We then hit a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 21st drops off to 4.3ft, and the wind is all over the place. Wednesday the 22nd is small, with 3.3ft and 3.0ft swells, but we get a glassy moment Wednesday afternoon. The surf is ordinary, but at least it's clean. Thursday the 23rd sees the swell drop right out to 2.3ft in the morning, but the wind goes offshore. The energy is weak (81). It's a waiting game.
Now, hold onto your boards. The real action kicks off from Friday the 24th. A new S swell starts to fill in, hitting 3.6ft Friday morning with a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (346). Friday afternoon is glassy with a 3.9ft S swell. Then Saturday the 25th brings a 4.6ft S swell with a long 13-second period and a solid offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (640). That's quality groundswell.
Sunday the 26th keeps it clean with a 4.6ft S swell, and Monday the 27th jumps up to 6.2ft with a strong offshore wind. The energy is strong (707). This is getting serious.
But the absolute standout, the one you've been waiting for, is Tuesday the 28th. We're looking at a 7.2ft S swell, 13-second period, light offshore wind, and the wave energy is massive (2413). The forecast says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and that's exactly what it is. This is a big, powerful groundswell hitting a point break, so it's going to be a proper session. The afternoon gets even bigger, with an 11.5ft SSE swell and a 16-second period, but the energy is insane (5738) and the wind turns onshore, making it too big and blown out for Dee Why. The morning is the window.
Wednesday the 29th keeps the quality high with a 7.5ft SSE swell and clean conditions. The energy is very strong (1713). Another excellent day for the experienced crew.
We then see the swell slowly ease through the end of the month and into August. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st have clean 4.9ft SSE swells. Saturday August 1st gets a bit messy with strong cross-wind on a 7.2ft swell, but Sunday the 2nd is blown out by a strong offshore wind. The energy drops right off.
Then, just when you think it's over, Monday August 3rd delivers another cracker. A 7.5ft SSE swell, 13-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is massive (2119). That's another one for the experienced surfers only.
So, the best of the best? Monday morning the 20th of July for a clean, fun-sized swell, and the absolute standout is Tuesday morning the 28th of July for the big, powerful groundswell with offshore winds. That's the one to circle on the calendar. It's a point break, so the long period will make for some long, grinding walls. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.

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.
