The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. The next couple of weeks are going to be a mixed bag for Dee Why Point. We’ve got a bit of a gap before anything really turns on, and even then, the standout windows are pretty narrow.
The first decent chance we see is around Friday the 11th. Thursday the 10th has some size, around 7ft from the S, but the conditions are only marginal. Friday morning looks much better. A 5ft S swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the SW. That’s a clean window on a point break, and the combined energy is moderate (475). It’s not huge, but it’ll be worth a look for the advanced crew.
The real highlight in this whole stretch is Saturday the 12th morning. It’s smaller, around 4ft from the S, but the period jumps to 12 seconds and the wind is dead glassy from the N. The combined energy is moderate (464), but that glassy surface on a point break with some solid groundswell period is about as good as it gets for a clean, lined-up wave. This is the one to circle.
After that, things taper off pretty quickly. The rest of the second week is a write-off, with dropping swell and poor winds. There’s a brief uptick on Monday the 21st morning – a 4ft S swell with clean cross-offshore W wind, but the energy is only moderate (271) and the period is short (8 seconds). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
In short, don’t waste your energy on most of this. If you can get out Friday morning for a clean one, do it. But Saturday morning is the standout – small, glassy, and full of potential on the point. Make the most of it.
Rusty.
