The Lowdown
Alright, let's break it down for Dee Why Point in feet and degrees.
Thursday is a complete dud – tiny, weak, and messy. The first real shot comes Friday morning, September 4th. It goes glassy, clean 2ft south groundswell, moderate energy (316). That’s the one to aim for. Morning only, because the afternoon breeze kills it.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are surfable but flat. Nothing to drive for. The big standout is Tuesday morning, September 8th. Swell jumps to 8ft from the south, massive energy (2157). That’s expert territory only. The wind is cross-off and clean, so the point could be firing if you’ve got the skills. Morning is key.
Another glassy morning on Friday, September 11th – clean 4ft south groundswell, 11-second period, solid energy (452). That’ll give you some real good lines. Again, morning session before the seabreeze ruins it.
Then it goes quiet and sloppy for a while. Tuesday morning, September 14th is nothing special but the cross-off breeze makes the 4ft south swell rideable for a mellow paddle.
Looking further out, Friday morning, September 18th brings 10ft of south swell (2637). That’s huge and raw with a cross-wind. Experts only if you’re feeling brave.
Water temp at Dee Why Point is around 64°F, which is dead average for the season – no shockers there.
Main takeaway: Friday the 4th morning for clean, fun waves, and Tuesday the 8th morning for the big, powerful swell. After that, it’s slim pickings but a few quiet windows remain.
