The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' over the next couple of weeks for us. Let's be honest, it's a bit of a slow start, but there's a little light at the end of the tunnel if you're patient.
The first proper swell worth paddling out for hits Dee Why Point on Sunday morning, July 26th. We've got a solid 6ft of S’ly groundswell rolling in with a nice 11-second period, and the wind is ripping clean offshore from the WSW at 15 km/h. This is gonna be a proper standout. The combined energy is up there at 753 (moderate), and that offshore breeze will have it looking like a postcard. It's a point break, so it'll handle that long period swell nicely, but remember, it's advanced only and it can get crowded here. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The rest of the run is pretty ordinary. Saturday the 25th is small and messy, and by Sunday afternoon the wind swings onshore and kills it. Monday the 27th has a tiny 4ft wave but the wind is light, so it might be a knee-high session for the keen. After that, we hit a real dry patch. From Tuesday, July 28th all the way through to Saturday, August 8th, the swell pretty much drops off a cliff. There are a few days with a bit of wind swell, but it's weak, with energy readings mostly under 100 (weak), and the conditions are just poor. Honestly, it's a long stretch of flat to small, choppy, and uninviting.
The one other moment that might be worth a look is Wednesday, July 29th in the afternoon. The swell bumps back up to 6ft from the S, but it's a short period 9-second swell and the wind is a strong 25 km/h cross-off. It won't be as clean as Sunday morning, but if you're desperate, you might find a lumpy one. For the rest of that first week, and well into the second, it’s a real waiting game.
So, the clear winner is Sunday morning, July 26th at Dee Why Point. Get out there early, grab a few clean ones, and then pack the board away for a while because the forecast after that is a long, slow blink.
