Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Dee Why Point over the next couple of weeks.

The forecast starts off a bit slow, but there’s a serious pulse of energy heading our way. The first few days, from Saturday the 5th through to Sunday the 6th, are pretty ordinary – small, weak swell with poor conditions, so you’re not missing much. Then things kick off properly on Monday the 7th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period and a light north-west wind, almost glassy. The energy is ramping up with a combined swell energy of 548 (moderate), and the water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year. The offshore wind here is WSW, so that SSE swell lines up nicely. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle the long-period groundswell well. The standout of the whole run is going to be Tuesday the 8th morning – a solid 10ft from the south, 10-second period, with a clean cross-off breeze. Combined energy is a massive 2607 (strong) – this is proper, powerful surf. Be warned, at 10ft this is only for the experienced crew. The crowd factor is ‘often’ here, so expect some company. Another big day is Thursday the 10th morning, with another 10ft south swell and very clean conditions, and energy at 2926 (strong) – that’s the biggest pulse of the whole forecast. The morning of Saturday the 12th is a beauty too – 4ft from the south, 10-second period, and glassy with ENE breath. That’s a great session for the more moderate surfer. Sunday the 13th morning also has a 3ft south swell, glassy, with a 12-second period – clean and fun. The run of good mornings continues, but the middle of the second week, around the 15th and 16th, gets a bit messy with onshore winds. There’s a late pulse on Wednesday the 16th morning – 8ft from the south, 10-second period, clean cross-off, but still a bit of a question mark on quality. The final standout is Sunday the 20th morning – 4ft south swell, 11-second period, and glassy. That’s a solid way to finish the window.

So, in short: the best on offer is the Tuesday the 8th morning and Thursday the 10th morning – both with big, clean south swells and strong energy. Don’t sleep on the glassy mornings of the 12th, 13th, and 20th either. The rest of the second week is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s enough to keep you interested.

Rusty.
