The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Dee Why Point. The start of this run is a bit of a slow roll, but there’s definitely some fun windows if you’re patient.
First session on Monday, the 7th in the morning. Small clean surf with an SSE swell running 1.3m, period a short 8 seconds. Combined energy is 258, so it's weak. A light NW breeze keeps it cross-off and looking tidy. Water temp is 18°, dead on average for the season. Not much size, but it’s all we got to start.
Things go downhill quick through the week with messy winds. Tuesday morning the 8th brings a 2.4m SSE swell and moderate energy (860), but that 25 km/h SSE wind is onshore and ruining it. Wednesday afternoon the 9th is even bigger with a 3.0m S swell and very strong energy (1232), but a 45 km/h southerly wind makes it unrideable. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
Thursday the 10th stays big and wild—2.5m SSW in the morning, 3.0m S in the afternoon, with heavy energy readings (1385 and 1628), but it’s all blown apart by strong southerly winds.
Finally, Friday morning the 11th shapes up nicely. The swell holds at a solid 2.4m from the SSE (904 energy), but the wind drops to a gentle 15 km/h southerly, blowing cross-off. This is when the Point starts to clean up really well. For the advanced surfers, this is a standout morning window.
Saturday morning the 12th is a real treat for the smaller-wave crew. Clean 1.5m SSE groundswell with a 11-second period (551 energy). A light 5 km/h west wind, glassy and cross-off. Perfect conditions for a longboard or a fish.
Then the surf dries up. From Sunday the 13th right through to Monday the 21st, it’s nearly flat with weak energy and onshore winds. But don’t give up, because the true standout of the whole forecast lands on Tuesday morning the 22nd. We’ll have a solid 3.0m S swell (1159 energy) and a glassy 5 km/h east wind. Clean, powerful, and empty. That’s a morning for the experts only—too big for beginners.
For the biggest, cleanest waves, aim for Tuesday the 22nd. For a more manageable clean session, Friday morning the 11th is your best bet.

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.
