The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Dee Why Point.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but it picks up. Sunday the 26th is the first real chance with a clean 6 ft south swell pushing in the morning, period a solid 11 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the WSW. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year. That morning session is looking very good, but by afternoon the wind swings onshore and it goes to mush. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (679) on Sunday morning, so there’s some push.
The standout for the whole outlook has to be Friday the 31st of July morning. That’s when it really fires. Swell hits 8 ft from the south, period 10 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the southwest. The numbers are big (2045 combined energy), the wind is clean, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a solid south swell, clean, and the point should handle it well. Keep in mind 8 ft is expert territory, so if you’re not comfortable in that size, sit this one out.
Looking further ahead, Saturday the 8th of August morning is another big one. We’re looking at 10 ft south swell with a 10-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 3313, but the swell is massive. This is for the experienced crew only. The afternoon has wind and tide issues, plus the swell is predicted to be too big for the break, so that morning window is the only shot.
There are a few other decent sessions: Thursday the 30th of July morning has 6 ft south swell with light offshore winds (541 combined energy), and Saturday the 1st of August has a clean 5 ft SSE swell both morning and afternoon. The 7th of August Friday morning also looks good with 5 ft south swell and light offshore winds (361 combined energy). The period on that one is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit more ordinary, but still fun.
The rest of the outlook is a mix of small surf, onshore winds, or very weak energy. The period from Tuesday the 29th of July through Wednesday the 30th of July is a flat spell, with combined energy down to single digits. There’s a big gap from the 29th to the 30th before the swell comes back. The second week is a bit up and down, with some tidy mornings but the afternoons often blown out. The far end of the outlook, around the 10th of August, shows a 7 ft SSE swell with moderate offshore winds, but it’s a long way off so less certain.
Overall, mark your calendar for Friday the 31st of July morning and Saturday the 8th of August morning. Those are the real standouts.
Rusty.
