Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.

Alright, look, the next 16 days at Dee Why Point are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, small surf to start, then a proper pulse of swell later on that’s definitely worth circling on the calendar. Don’t expect much action for the first week, but the second half of the outlook shows some real promise for the experienced crew.

The first real surfable energy doesn’t kick in until Wednesday, July 15th. The morning brings a 8ft swell from the south, but it’s a bit raw with a 19 mph southerly cross-off wind. The combined energy is moderate (786). It’s a bit of a messy, marginal setup, better for the more experienced. By Thursday the 16th, the swell holds around 7ft from the SSE, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-off. The energy is still moderate (424), and the conditions are clean, making it a decent option for a midweek session.

The real standout window opens up on Saturday, July 18th. The morning has a 6ft easterly swell with a light 6 mph SSW wind, cross-off, and clean. The combined energy is moderate (589). It’s a proper, clean, fun-sized wave. But the absolute best of the whole outlook is Sunday, July 19th. You wake up to a 7ft easterly swell, and the wind is glassy – completely still at 3 mph from the northwest. The combined energy jumps to strong (1068). This is the one. The waves will be clean, powerful, and well-shaped, with a long-period of 11 seconds meaning better, more defined lines. It’s an advanced spot, so expect the lineup to be busy – crowds are likely here. That morning is the best surf on offer.

Following that, Monday, July 20th, the afternoon looks very good again with a 6ft easterly swell, light 6 mph cross-off wind, and very clean conditions. The energy is moderate (686). Then Tuesday, July 21st, is another huge one. Morning brings a 8ft ESE swell with a solid 16 mph offshore wind from the west, making it clean and hollow. The combined energy is very strong (1615). This is excellent, but it’s big, so only for experts. The afternoon holds a 7ft ESE swell, still clean with a light cross-off.

After that, the surf tapers off. The last decent chances are on Thursday, July 23rd, with a 6ft ESE swell and a light offshore, and then the final week from July 24th onward drops back down to small, poor conditions. The gap from Sunday, July 26th to the end of the outlook is flat and not worth paddling out for.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off, but the second week has two absolute standouts. Sunday, July 19th, morning is the pick of the lot for clean, powerful waves. Tuesday, July 21st, morning is a close second for the big, expert-level stuff. Get on it.

Rusty.
