The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what Dee Why Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, so strap in.

Right off the bat, the first few days are looking pretty flat and gutless. We're talking tiny ankle-biters with hardly any push. Tuesday and Wednesday are clean, but there's just nothing to ride. The swell energy is weak, like single digits and low twenties (25, 22, 36). You'd be paddling more than surfing. It’s a frustrating start.

The weekend isn't much better. Friday morning you might find a grovelly little wave, but it's pretty ordinary. The swell stays small, around 2ft to 3ft, and while the mornings are clean with a light offshore, it's just not worth getting too excited about. Saturday and Sunday follow the same theme, with a bit of a cross-shore chop messing things up in the arvos.

We've got a solid week of this small, weak stuff. The energy is moderate for a couple of sessions, but it's all pretty average. It isn't until Thursday the 13th that things get interesting. The swell suddenly jumps to a proper 11ft from the south, and the energy readings go through the roof, like 2443 and 2854! That's strong, very strong. But here's the kicker – that's way too big for Dee Why Point. It's gonna be a washing machine, a close-out mess. It's one for the experts only, and even then, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day. The wind is cross-off, but the size will make it unruly. The following morning, Friday the 14th, it drops but is still a heavy 8ft from the SSE, which is a lot of water moving around. The conditions are there, but it's still challenging and maybe a bit out of control for most.

Through the following week, the swell backs right down to the 3ft to 5ft range. There's some hope, though. Monday the 17th brings in a longer period swell, 12 seconds, which is a good sign for push, but the wind is up, and it's showery. The energy is moderate, but the surf quality is still poor.

Now, for the standout. You gotta be patient. The best on offer is looking like Tuesday morning, the 18th. We've got a clean 4.5ft of swell from the southeast, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a gentle offshore from the southwest, which will groom it perfectly. The energy reading is 362, which is a decent moderate amount of power. This is your morning. It won't see the afternoon because the breeze swings onshore. The next morning, Wednesday the 19th, is also worth a look. A slightly smaller, clean 4ft from the ESE with a light offshore again. That's your window.

So, there you have it. The first week is a total write-off. The middle is a no-go due to size. But that Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th morning have some real potential. It's not a classic Dee Why Point swell direction, but when it's this clean and has a bit of energy, you'd be a fool to miss it. It'll be more of a wally point day, but far more fun than battling that bombie on the 13th. The water temp is 63.5°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Keep it salty.

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.

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.
