Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s see what’s cooking at Dee Why Point for the next couple of weeks.

First off, it’s pretty flat to start. Tuesday morning the 14th is tiny with a 0.2ft southerly swell and a short period, so nothing to get excited about. The water temp is about 64°, which is normal for the time of year.

The real juice starts Wednesday the 15th. We’ve got a solid south swell rolling in at 8ft early on, with a 10-second period and a combined energy reading of 2283 – that’s a lot of power. The wind is cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be clean, but this is a big swell for the Point. At that size, it’s expert-only territory. The afternoon drops to 6ft, but the wind picks up and swings more southerly, making it a bit rough. Wednesday morning is the clear winner for the first week.

Thursday the 16th still has some size at 6ft to 6ft, but the wind is howling from the south at 18 mph, putting a nasty chop on it. The energy is still moderate (465 to 451), but it’s not going to be fun. The rest of the week into the weekend is pretty weak – small, short period swell, and a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind. The energy drops way down to values like 107 and 129, so we’re looking at weak, bumpy waves. Not worth paddling out for.

There’s a big gap in quality from late Thursday through to the following week. A few days have some swell but the wind is all wrong, and the scores are low. Then Monday the 20th afternoon things start to look up. The wind goes glassy from the ENE, and we’ve got a 5ft east-northeast swell with a 10-second period. The energy is a solid 572, and it’s clean. That’s a good one for intermediate to advanced surfers, and the light wind means it’ll be smooth.

But the top pick of the whole forecast is Thursday the 23rd. That morning we’ve got a 6ft easterly groundswell with a 12-second period, combined energy at 955, and a light offshore from the SW. That’s proper quality – long period, good size, and clean. This is a point break, so that long period swell will wrap in nicely. It’s not too big for most, but it’s got plenty of power. The break is consistent, and crowds are possible here, so get in early. The afternoon is still good but the morning is the standout.

Friday the 24th morning is also very good – 6ft of east swell, 12-second period, and a light NW wind. That’s another clean session with 804 energy. And then Saturday the 25th morning holds up with 5ft and the same long period, still clean. The whole end of the third week into the start of the fourth week (around the 26th and 27th) has plenty of 4ft to 5ft east swell with long periods, and light offshore or glassy conditions. It’s consistent, good quality, and the water is still average temp for the season.

So, to sum it up: the first couple of days are a waste, then Wednesday the 15th morning is big and powerful for experts only. There’s a dead period from Thursday the 16th through to Sunday the 19th. Then from Monday the 20th afternoon, things pick up, and the absolute best sessions are Thursday the 23rd morning and Friday the 24th morning. The following weekend also has some good waves, but a bit smaller. Get out there when it’s clean and the wind is light.

Rusty.
