Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dee Why Point over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a proper look at what’s coming for Dee Why Point, and I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead with hardly anything to write home about. Don’t get your hopes up for most of the next two weeks.
The first real surf on offer isn’t until Wednesday the 15th of July. Up until then, it’s pretty much flat as a tack with tiny waves and cross-off winds. Not worth paddling out.
Come Wednesday the 15th, we get a spike in the charts. It’s still not perfect, but it’s the closest we get to a standout. The morning sees a 7ft S swell wrapping in, with a fair bit of energy behind it (combined energy of all swells directed here at 1268). It’s a moderate to strong pulse. The wind’s cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean enough for the advanced crew. The period’s a tick under 11 seconds, so there’s a bit of grunt, but it might be a bit straight for this point. The afternoon builds to 7ft S swell (1468 energy) – still clean, but the tide or something’s marginal.
Thursday the 16th holds onto that swell. The morning’s got a short-period 7ft S swell (1058 energy), but with a fresh 19 mph cross-off breeze, it’s going to be a bumpy, powerful mess – one for experts only, and even then it’s touch and go. That afternoon the swell drops to 6ft and the wind stays fresh; surf quality is poor.
Then we go into another quiet spell. Friday the 17th is small, rainy, and just average. The real jewel in the crown, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 18th. It’s not big – just a glassy 4ft to 4ft E swell with almost no wind (combined energy of all swells directed here at 208 to 236). It’s glassy as can be in the morning and afternoon, with a gentle SE breeze. The waves are very ordinary, but with clean conditions and small crowds possible, it might be worth a paddle for anyone desperate.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are still small with onshore winds tilting things messy. By Tuesday the 21st of July, we get a nice little window: a 4ft ENE swell (273 energy) with a clean offshore WSW breeze at 9 mph. The wind’s offshore, which is gold, but the swell’s only modest. It’s the best-looking session in the second week. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf through to the end of the outlook.
Water temp’s sitting around 65°F for the first session – that’s pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Overall, Wednesday the 15th morning is your best bet if you’re an advanced surfer chasing some size, and Tuesday the 21st morning is the sneaky clean, smaller option for a more relaxed paddle. Everything else is quiet. But hey, with the breaks around here being fairly consistent, it won’t stay poor forever. Keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.

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.
