The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple weeks for Dee Why Point. It’s gonna be a slow start with only tiny, average waves for the first week, so don’t get your hopes up too early. The real action builds late in the second week, and there’s a couple of mornings that’ll have you phoning in sick.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

Alright, let’s kick off Sunday the 30th of August. Head down early for a clean 3 ft south swell with a period of 9 seconds. The cross-off wind from the northwest will keep things tidy, but the combined energy is moderate at best (252). It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The afternoon goes pear-shaped with an east wind poking in.

Monday the 31st offers a glassy 3 ft south swell in the morning. Winds are dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. That’s a real treat, but the swell is small and average period (8 seconds). Still, it’s the pick of the early days.

Tuesday and Wednesday stay small, with the occasional cross-off wind keeping the surface clean, but the wave heights drop below 3 ft and energy falls away. Thursday the 3rd of September has a glassy afternoon with a 2 ft south swell, but it’s barely worth paddling out.

Friday the 4th has an offshore 2 ft south swell in the morning, clean but tiny. Saturday the 5th is wiped out by strong north winds. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are poor – Sunday has onshore wind, and Monday has a fresh offshore but a messy short-period 3 ft south-southwest swell (7 seconds) with energy in the weak range (80). That offshore wind might suit a kite more than a paddle board.

Then things start to cook. Wednesday the 9th of September morning – now we’re talking. A clean 5 ft south swell, with a decent 10-second period, cross-off wind from the south-southwest, and moderate to strong energy (349). Good solid surf for the advanced crew. The afternoon is stuffed by onshore wind.

But the standout – the one you circle on the calendar – is Thursday the 10th of September morning. Glassy conditions, not a breath of wind, with a solid 7 ft south swell rolling in (period 10 seconds). The combined energy is strong to very strong (1055). This is a powerful, clean, expert-only wave with size over 8 ft. Dee Why Point will be firing, but it’s only for the experienced. Expect the crowds to be about – it’s a consistent spot and often busy, especially on a morning like this.

Friday the 11th of September morning still has a clean 5 ft south swell with cross-off wind, but the energy is a bit less (369). Still great, just not the epic peak of Thursday.

After that, the surf drops away again through the weekend and into early the next week, with only tiny glassy waves on Monday the 14th of September morning (3 ft from the east-northeast, period 7 seconds). That one’s more of a longboard cruise.

So, the big highlight is Thursday the 10th of September morning. The second best is Wednesday the 9th of September morning, with Monday the 31st of August morning being a close third for a clean, small session.

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. If you surf the same spot (Dee Why Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
