The Lowdown
Righto, let’s see what’s heading our way for Dee Why Point. The next few days are flat and pretty average, but there’s a solid pulse of energy coming through towards the end of the week and into the weekend. That’s where the real interest is.
We start off quiet. Tuesday the 28th of July is tiny, with a weak SSE swell of just 1 ft at 8 seconds and combined energy of only 39. The wind is cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph, so the water is clean, but there’s just not enough to ride. That carries into Wednesday with even less – 0.3 ft of SE swell – and strong offshore winds from the W at 12-16 mph. Clean but flat.
Then Thursday the 30th of July things start to stir. The swell builds to 5 ft from the S at 9 seconds, with energy jumping to 303. The morning has a gentle offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, and the water is clean. That’s the first real chance of a wave. The afternoon gets a bit choppy as the wind swings SE, so the morning is your window.
Friday the 31st of July is the standout of the whole run. The swell pushes up to 6 ft from the S, with a period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of 654 – that’s proper moderate wave energy. The morning is clean with a gentle offshore from the SW at 9 mph. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 8 ft at 10 seconds and energy above 1700, which is strong, but the wind turns cross-off and then onshore, and tide issues might mess with the lineup. For experienced surfers, the Friday morning session is the one to circle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Saturday the 1st of August is still good. The swell holds at 5 ft from the SSE, with 10 seconds and energy around 466. The morning is clean with a light cross-off from the W at 6 mph. The afternoon glass off sets in with 3 mph from the ENE and the swell sitting at 5 ft – that’s a beautiful window for clean, smooth waves. The energy may be a touch lower than Friday, but the glassy conditions make it a serious highlight.
Sunday the 2nd of August sees the swell back to 4 ft from the SSE, with a longer period of 12 seconds and energy up to 777. The morning is light cross-shore from the NNW, but the afternoon gets onshore ENE wind at 9 mph, and the tide could be tricky. The longer period swell means the waves will have better shape and more punch, but the point break here should handle it well.
From Monday the 3rd of August the swell fades quickly. The rest of the week and into the second week is mostly small, with heights dropping below 3 ft and energy below 100. Winds are a mix of offshore and glassy at times, but there’s just no wave to push you. The 12th of August has a fresh offshore from the WSW at 19 mph and a weak 2 ft E swell, but the energy is only 218 – not enough to get excited about.
So for the best on offer: Friday morning the 31st of July is the top pick. The S swell at 6 ft with 11 seconds and a gentle offshore gives you clean, powerful waves at Dee Why Point. Saturday afternoon the 1st of August is a very close second, with glassy conditions and a solid 5 ft SSE swell. That’s the good stuff.

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.

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.
