Dee Why Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Dee Why Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Friday the 28th. We’ve got a couple of days of junky, short-period windswell and messy onshores that are best left to the fish. The wait is worth it, though.

The standout of the whole outlook is Friday morning, the 28th of August. We’re looking at a solid 5ft groundswell out of the SSE with a long 11-second period. The magic is in the wind – a light offshore from the WSW at just 3 mph. That’s going to put a clean, lined-up sheet on the water. Dee Why Point handles that SSE direction well, and with that energy reading of 688 (moderate wave energy), you’ll have enough push for a proper session. Keep an eye on the crowds, though – they can be often here, and this is the kind of morning that brings everyone out.

Saturday the 29th is another good shout. Early morning has a clean 6ft swell from the SSE, still packing moderate energy (834), and a gentle cross-off breeze. It’s a touch bigger, but still in that sweet spot for advanced surfers. The wind stays clean, so you’ll get some good ones before the afternoon onshore kicks in.

Now, looking way out to Monday the 7th of September, there’s a promise of some real grunt. The morning shows a solid 7ft S groundswell with an 11-second period, and a fresh offshore breeze from the SW at 16 mph. The combined energy spikes right up to 1089 (strong wave energy). This is a serious swell. At over 6ft, this is for experts only – the power will be up. That said, it’s a long-range call, so while it looks proper on paper, treat it as promising but not locked in just yet. The best part of that day will be the morning before the sea breeze ruins the party.

For the rest of the days, the surf is either too small, too onshore, or too weak to get excited about. A couple of glassy mornings around the 30th and 31st will offer knee-high dribblers if you’re desperate, but honestly, wait for that Friday morning or hold out for the big one in the first week of September.

Water temp is sitting right around 64°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so a 3/2 steamer will be fine.

Stay on it, and I’ll catch you in the water.

Rusty.
