The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s coming up for Dee Why Point. The next week and a half is a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get you out of the chair. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout I can see is on Friday the 4th in the morning. We’ve got a clean, glassy start with the wind swinging NNW at only 3 mph – dead glass. Swell is a modest 3 ft out of the south, with a 10-second period that’ll give you some shape. The combined energy is moderate (226), so there’s enough to push you along. It’s only an advanced wave here at Dee Why Point, so not one for grommets, but the conditions will be super clean and uncrowded if you get in early.

After that, the week rolls into some ordinary stuff – small, windy, and often cross-onshore. But hold onto your wetsuit, because Tuesday the 8th morning is a proper treat. The swell jumps to 6 ft out of the south, with a very short period of 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. The combined energy is strong (434). That’s expert territory – anything over 8 ft is expert only, but at 6 ft, it’s solid and punchy. The offshore wind will keep it clean, so for experienced crews, this is your window.

Then we go quiet again. There’s a massive gap with no real good surf until Wednesday the 16th morning. That morning brings a clean 6 ft east swell, with the wind cross-off from the west at 9 mph. The combined energy is again strong (427). This one runs into the afternoon as well, with the wind staying offshore from the WSW at 12 mph and the swell sitting at 5 ft (385 energy). That’s a solid day for the advanced surfer, with clean, offshore lines.

Overall, the best on offer is that Tuesday the 8th morning for the more experienced surfer who wants a bit of power, and then the Wednesday the 16th is your second chance. Don’t bother with the flat, windy days in between – those are for the kites.

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.
