The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Dee Why Point has got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow starter, but there are a couple of moments that’ll get the blood pumpin’.
Right now, we’re in a quiet patch. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are pretty ordinary—small 1.5-2.0ft southerly swells, with cross-off winds that keep things clean enough, but the energy’s weak (around 71 to 122). It’s not really worth paddling out for. Friday the 4th brings a slight lift in the morning—2.5ft S swell at 10 seconds, with light WNW cross-off winds, and combined energy nudging into moderate territory at 155. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. Saturday the 5th is a write-off; strong westerly winds on the afternoon are fresh offshore, but the swell’s tiny at 1.5ft.
Now, Sunday the 6th morning—that’s where it starts to get interesting. The swell jumps to 3.0ft from the south, period stretching to 12 seconds, with light SSW cross-off winds. Combined energy hits 276, which is solid. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. It’s clean and the sets will have some push. This is your best early bet—solid, fun, not too big.
Monday the 7th morning gets a bit bigger at 4.0ft S swell, 10 seconds, but it’s cross-on from the NNE and the energy’s up to 350. It’s marginal—might be worth a look if you’re keen, but it won’t be perfect.
We then hit another dry spell. Tuesday the 8th through to Saturday the 12th is mostly poor—small swells, onshore winds, and rain. A lot of those days have combined energy below 100 or just scraping into moderate, with messy conditions. Not worth your time.
Sunday the 13th afternoon brings a bit of a surprise—5.0ft S swell, 9 seconds, cross-off NW winds, and a combined energy of 503. That’s moderate-to-strong energy, but it’s only rated marginal due to tide or conditions. It’s clean though, so keep an eye on it.
The standout window is Monday the 14th afternoon through to Tuesday the 15th morning. Monday afternoon has 4.0ft S swell at 11 seconds, glassy conditions with light ESE winds—absolutely clean. Combined energy at 481. Then Tuesday morning, the 15th, you’ve got 8.0ft S swell at 13 seconds, cross-off southerly winds, and a massive combined energy of 2016. That’s pumping, but heads up—8.0ft is expert territory. The long 13-second period means it’ll be a proper groundswell, better for a point break like Dee Why Point, though it can get a bit straight at the beach. Still, for the crew who can handle it, that Tuesday morning is the pick of the whole forecast.
After that, it fades out. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th drop back to 2.5-4.0ft, with cross-on winds and rain—best left alone.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday the 15th morning at Dee Why Point, with that solid 8.0ft S groundswell and clean offshore wind. Monday the 14th afternoon is a close second with glassy 4.0ft waves. Don’t get too excited about the rest—there’s a few gaps of 2-3 days with nothing worthwhile, especially through the first week.
Keep it salty.

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.
