The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Dee Why Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Friday the 28th. We’ve got a couple of days of junky, short-period windswell and messy onshores that are best left to the fish. The wait is worth it, though.

The standout of the whole outlook is Friday morning, the 28th of August. We’re looking at a solid 5ft groundswell out of the SSE with a long 11-second period. The magic is in the wind – a light offshore from the WSW at just 3 mph. That’s going to put a clean, lined-up sheet on the water. Dee Why Point handles that SSE direction well, and with that energy reading of 688 (moderate wave energy), you’ll have enough push for a proper session. Keep an eye on the crowds, though – they can be often here, and this is the kind of morning that brings everyone out.

Saturday the 29th is another good shout. Early morning has a clean 6ft swell from the SSE, still packing moderate energy (834), and a gentle cross-off breeze. It’s a touch bigger, but still in that sweet spot for advanced surfers. The wind stays clean, so you’ll get some good ones before the afternoon onshore kicks in.

Now, looking way out to Monday the 7th of September, there’s a promise of some real grunt. The morning shows a solid 7ft S groundswell with an 11-second period, and a fresh offshore breeze from the SW at 16 mph. The combined energy spikes right up to 1089 (strong wave energy). This is a serious swell. At over 6ft, this is for experts only – the power will be up. That said, it’s a long-range call, so while it looks proper on paper, treat it as promising but not locked in just yet. The best part of that day will be the morning before the sea breeze ruins the party.

For the rest of the days, the surf is either too small, too onshore, or too weak to get excited about. A couple of glassy mornings around the 30th and 31st will offer knee-high dribblers if you’re desperate, but honestly, wait for that Friday morning or hold out for the big one in the first week of September.

Water temp is sitting right around 64°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so a 3/2 steamer will be fine.

Stay on it, and I’ll catch you in the water.

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.
