Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dee Why Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got Dee Why Point on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a slow burn. The first week is a write-off for anything decent, but there’s a little window of clean, manageable surf towards the end of the second week that might just be worth a paddle.
The water temp is sitting right on the seasonal average, about 64°, so nothing unusual there.
The first sniff of something real comes on Wednesday, July 15th. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the S, with a moderate combined energy (1488). The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean, but that is a fair slab of water. For the advanced crew only, Dee Why Point will be handling it, but that’s a lot of power for a point break. The swell period is a short 10 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and fat on the face.
Thursday the 16th drops off a little, still a 7ft S swell (898 energy), but the period drops to 8 seconds. That’s messy, short-period stuff. By Friday the 17th it’s down to 3ft and the energy is weak (112) – not worth the drive.
Now, here’s the one that stands out. Tuesday, July 21st. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell is a modest 4ft from the ENE, but the wind goes glassy offshore from the WSW. The energy is moderate (325), and the period is a solid 10 seconds. It won’t be the biggest wave you’ll ever ride, but it’ll be clean, lined up, and with the offshore holding the face open, Dee Why Point will actually have some shape. The crowd situation is listed as “often”, so expect company, but the conditions will be worth it.
After that, it’s a slow fade. Late July 27th and 28th have some clean offshore windows, but the swell is down to 2ft to 3ft with very low energy (194 to 67). That’s barely a ripple. The groundswell on the 27th has a nice 13-second period, but it’s too small to do anything with at a point break.
Best bet: Tuesday morning, July 21st. That’s the one.
Rusty.

Information about the Dee Why Point Surf forecast

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.
