Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dee Why Point over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half at Dee Why Point is looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long dry spell of tiny, gutless waves and poor conditions before a couple of windows open up that’ll actually get the heart pumping.
For the first week, from Sunday 12 July right through to Thursday 17 July, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, with weak energy readings (94 or less) and messy cross-off winds. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. Honestly, you’d be better off doing anything else. There’s a brief pulse on Wednesday 15 July with an 8ft S swell, but the period is short at 9 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s not clean enough to get excited about – that’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle surfer’s wave.
The real standout, the only one worth circling on the calendar, is on Sunday 19 July. Early morning, it’s glassy – zero wind – and there’s a solid 8ft swell from the east with a proper 11-second period, giving it serious energy (1426). That’s a strong, powerful groundswell. For a point break like Dee Why Point, that long period will groom into nice, lined-up sets. But listen, at 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. It’s going to be a big, clean day. The crowds are likely to be heavy here, so get in early.
Monday 20 July morning is the next best call – a 6ft ENE swell with a 10-second period, light NW cross-off breeze, and clean conditions. Nice energy (855). Not as big as Sunday, but still a very good session for strong intermediates and up.
The following week fades back into smaller, inconsistent stuff. Tuesday 21 July morning has a 4ft ENE swell with light WSW offshore winds, which is clean and fun, but the energy is dropping (384). For the rest of the week, it’s either too small, too windy, or the direction is off. By Saturday 25 July, it’s back to tiny, weak waves and onshore slop. A blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area when the swell windows are so narrow.
So, to wrap it up: the 16-day window is mostly a dud, but Sunday 19 July is the undisputed best day – go early for the glassy, big, clean waves. Monday 20 July morning is your backup.
Rusty.

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.
