The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check the run of surf at Dee Why Point.
Over the next couple weeks, you’re gonna have to earn your waves. The first week is full of small, weak slop, and you’re better off waiting for the second weekend. That’s where the real action is.
The water is at 63°F, a touch under the average for this time of year. Bit of a bite to it.
We open on Thursday the 6th of August with nothing worth mentioning. A clean 2ft south swell in the morning, but the energy is puny (70) and it’s short period. Thursday afternoon is even worse with a messy 3ft onshore wave. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are flat, ordinary days with 2ft waves – clean but weak. The combined energy hangs around 100-120, so basically nothing. Sunday the 9th through Wednesday the 13th is a total blank: rain, onshore winds, and tiny 1ft to 2ft waves. The energy drops to near zero. Days of nothing.
Here’s the first real window: Friday morning the 14th of August. Offshore wind from the SW, clean. A solid 5ft south swell with a 9-second period and the energy jumps to 331. It reads "expect good surf conditions." Dee Why Point will have some proper lines.
The standout is Saturday morning the 15th of August. This is the session to aim for. We get a 5ft south swell with a 10-second period, clean offshore SW wind at 15 km/h, and the energy pumps at 521. That’s strong, moderate energy. The wave comment is "expect good surf conditions." That’s a punchy, clean south swell with light offshore flow. For the advanced crowd, this is the one.
After that, it drops off again. Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th of August is back to small, choppy junk, with the swell barely hitting 3ft and energy low.
There’s a small blip on Thursday the 20th of August morning. A clean 3ft south swell, 8-second period, with almost no wind (172 energy). It’s okay, just ordinary.
And finally, Friday the 21st of August morning shows a long-range possibility: a solid 3ft south swell with a nice long 11-second period, a light offshore WSW breeze, and 279 energy. It says "expect good surf conditions." That’s a proper groundswell pulse for the point, but it’s far out, so don’t bank on it yet.
Bottom line: the first week is a bust. Saturday the 15th of August morning is your best bet – clean, solid south swell. Friday the 14th is a good backup. Friday the 21st looks promising but distant.
Stay patient and mark that 15th.
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. If you surf the same spot (Dee Why Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
