The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening in your local waters. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next two weeks at Dee Why Point.

The first few days are pretty average, a bit of a tease. You’ve got to wait for the real quality, but it does come through. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year, nothing to complain about.

Sunday the 23rd starts off with a small, glassy morning. There’s a 1.2m south swell, about 9 seconds between waves, and a light north-northeast breeze at 5 km/h. It’s clean, but the energy is just moderate (256). It’s surfable, but ordinary. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and ruins it.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are a write-off. Onshore winds, small messy swell, poor conditions. Not worth the paddle out.

Wednesday the 26th morning gives you a little window with a light offshore wind, but the swell is only 0.9m from the east-northeast. The energy is weak (111). It’s clean, but tiny.

Now, Thursday the 27th morning is a proper bright spot. A 1.3m south swell, zero wind, glassy as a mirror. The energy is ramping up (373), and it’s expected to be good. This is a top session for a Thursday dawn patrol.

But your best bet this whole outlook is Friday the 28th morning. We’re talking a solid 1.4m south swell with an offshore wind from the west-southwest at 10 km/h. The energy is strong (537) and the swell period is a nice 11 seconds. Dee Why Point will be running clean. It’s an advanced wave, so you need to know what you’re doing, but for those who do, it’s a gem. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so expect company.

Things go quiet again through the weekend. Monday the 31st has a very long period 18-second groundswell from the south-southeast, but it’s only 0.8m. That kind of energy at a point break can be fun, but it’s marginal.

Into the first days of September, surf stays small but clean. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have small south swells with clean, offshore breezes. It’s clean, but you’ll be scratching for waves under a meter.

The final standout pops up on Friday the 4th of September morning. A 1.3m south swell, 11-second period, with a 15 km/h offshore from the west-southwest. The energy is strong (457) and the conditions will be clean. Another excellent session for the advanced crew at the Point.

After that, it fades into small, clean leftovers.

So, mark your calendar for the morning of Friday the 28th of August and the morning of Friday the 4th of September. Those are your sessions.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
