The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s been a bit quiet but we’ve got a few windows coming up at Dee Why Point. The overall pattern is a slow start with some cleaner spells later in the outlook, but don’t get too excited just yet.

The first real chance is Friday morning, September 4th. Dee Why Point is showing 4ft of S swell, with a 10-second period. The wind is a light WNW cross-off at 3 mph, and it’s glassy – clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate (328). This is the pick of the early period, but it’s a small window; the afternoon turns to rubbish with a strong ENE onshore. After that, from Saturday through to Monday morning, it’s mostly small, weak, or blown out. Monday morning, September 7th, has 4ft of S swell at 8 seconds, with WSW winds going glassy – that’s a glass-off, so it’ll be tidy but the energy is still moderate (197).

Then we hit a bit of a lull until Tuesday morning, September 8th, when the swell picks up to 7ft from the SSE, 8-second period, with a clean S cross-off at 12 mph. The energy is strong (607). That’s a solid step up, but it’s punchy – 7ft is getting into expert territory, especially if you’re a beginner. The wind is clean, so it’ll be workable for the experienced crew. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

The real standout, though, is Thursday, September 10th. The morning shows 8ft of S swell with an 11-second period, and the afternoon is the same size with a 10-second period. The combined energy is massive – 2038 in the morning, 3282 in the afternoon. That’s very strong energy. The wind is cross-shore from the SSE, so it won’t be perfect, but the size and period are there. This is a big groundswell; at a point break like Dee Why, it should line up nicely. But 8ft is expert-only, and the crowds are likely to be thick here. If you’re not confident, stay out of the water.

After that, the swell drops but stays clean. Saturday morning, September 12th, has 4ft of SSE swell at a long 12-second period, with a light offshore SW wind at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (489), and it’s clean. That’s a good, manageable size for most surfers, and the long period will give it some shape. The following week, from Sunday September 13th, it fades out to small, weak, and mostly onshore. The second week is a bust – Friday September 18th and Saturday September 19th have some size (6ft to 6ft) but with near-gale winds, it’s a write-off for paddling.

So, the best on offer is Thursday September 10th for the big swell, but it’s one for experts only with crowd factor. The more accessible standout is Friday morning, September 4th, or Saturday morning, September 12th – both clean, with moderate energy and good conditions.

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.

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.
