Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening in your local waters. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next two weeks at Dee Why Point.

The first few days are pretty average, a bit of a tease. You’ve got to wait for the real quality, but it does come through. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year, nothing to complain about.

Sunday the 23rd starts off with a small, glassy morning. There’s a 1.2m south swell, about 9 seconds between waves, and a light north-northeast breeze at 5 km/h. It’s clean, but the energy is just moderate (256). It’s surfable, but ordinary. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and ruins it.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are a write-off. Onshore winds, small messy swell, poor conditions. Not worth the paddle out.

Wednesday the 26th morning gives you a little window with a light offshore wind, but the swell is only 0.9m from the east-northeast. The energy is weak (111). It’s clean, but tiny.

Now, Thursday the 27th morning is a proper bright spot. A 1.3m south swell, zero wind, glassy as a mirror. The energy is ramping up (373), and it’s expected to be good. This is a top session for a Thursday dawn patrol.

But your best bet this whole outlook is Friday the 28th morning. We’re talking a solid 1.4m south swell with an offshore wind from the west-southwest at 10 km/h. The energy is strong (537) and the swell period is a nice 11 seconds. Dee Why Point will be running clean. It’s an advanced wave, so you need to know what you’re doing, but for those who do, it’s a gem. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so expect company.

Things go quiet again through the weekend. Monday the 31st has a very long period 18-second groundswell from the south-southeast, but it’s only 0.8m. That kind of energy at a point break can be fun, but it’s marginal.

Into the first days of September, surf stays small but clean. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have small south swells with clean, offshore breezes. It’s clean, but you’ll be scratching for waves under a meter.

The final standout pops up on Friday the 4th of September morning. A 1.3m south swell, 11-second period, with a 15 km/h offshore from the west-southwest. The energy is strong (457) and the conditions will be clean. Another excellent session for the advanced crew at the Point.

After that, it fades into small, clean leftovers.

So, mark your calendar for the morning of Friday the 28th of August and the morning of Friday the 4th of September. Those are your sessions.

Rusty, signing off.
