The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here with a look at what Mother Nature’s got cookin’ for Dee Why Point. It’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but there’s some serious potential waiting for the patient ones.
Alright, so the next week or so is a bit of a tease. We’ve got a solid run of flat, gutless days from this Monday the 27th right through Wednesday the 29th. The swell is barely a whisper, with energy readings in the low double-digits at best. Just a few weak, short-period pulses that aren't going to do a thing on this point. Don’t even bother paddling out.
Thursday the 30th is where the game changes. We’re looking at a strong S swell hitting 8ft in the morning with a 10-second period. The combined wave energy spikes hard to 1534, which is serious grunt. The wind is a glassy offshore from the WSW at 3 mph, setting things up beautifully. This is proper, powerful ground swell. For Dee Why Point, that S direction is gold, and clean offshore wind makes it a dream. The water temp is about 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. This is the standout session for experienced surfers – it’s going to be big, powerful, and clean. Don’t be a hero if you’re not confident in that size. The morning is the clear winner here; the afternoon sees the wind clocking onshore and the quality will drop.
Friday the 31st keeps the momentum going. Another good S swell, 7ft in the morning with an 11-second period and energy at 993. The wind is still a sweet offshore from the SW at 9 mph. This is going to be another excellent session for solid, lined-up waves. Again, morning is your window before the wind gets messy. The good news is the water isn't going to be packed with beginners at this size, but the locals, including me, will be out in force, and Dee Why Point is often crowded.
The weekend of August 1st and 2nd offers a nice drop in size (5ft on Saturday, 4ft on Sunday) but still with clean conditions and light morning winds. Good fun, but not the big juice of Thursday and Friday.
Then we hit a long, rough patch. From the afternoon of Sunday the 2nd right through to Friday the 7th of August, the wind gets up, the swells become a messy mix of short-period wind chop and onshore slop, all with mediocre energy. There’s a bit of swell, but the conditions are poor for paddle surfing. If the wind keeps howling, this setup looks more interesting for kite-surfing than for a proper point break session.
The following week has a few possibilities but nothing solid until a bigger, more energetic Easterly swell pulse shows up on Saturday the 8th of August, with energy hitting 1623. But it comes with rain and fresh winds, making it a real gamble. The best bet then might be Monday the 10th of August, with a promising 6ft ENE swell and light winds. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: Your absolute best bets are the mornings of Thursday the 30th of July and Friday the 31st. Clear your schedule if you can handle the size. After that, there’s a lot of waiting for the next proper pulse.
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.

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.
