The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks at Dee Why Point.
The start of the window is a bit of a write-off, I’m not gonna lie. We’ve got a few days of small, weak, and messy swell with onshore winds. Sunday the 26th is a no-go with a weak 5ft S swell (488 energy) and a cross-on breeze. Monday the 27th morning is clean but tiny with a 3ft S swell (179 energy) – surfable but ordinary is the best I can say. We’re looking at a gap of a few days here with nothing worth paddling out for until Thursday the 30th.
Now, Thursday the 30th morning is where things get interesting. The ocean is gonna switch on with a solid 8ft S swell (1884 energy) and a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year, you won’t need a steamer but a spring suit is the go. This is proper groundswell, with a 9-second period, offering some punchy lines. This is definitely for the experienced crew only – that size at Dee Why Point can get a bit heavy. It’s a standout session. The afternoon pushes up to 10ft (3322 energy) but the wind swings S cross-off, so it’s still clean, though the tide might make it a bit tricky.
Friday the 31st morning keeps the good run going with another 8ft S swell (2027 energy) and a gentle offshore. This is another top pick for advanced surfers. The afternoon sees the wind pick up a touch, but it’s still clean.
Saturday the 1st of August drops back a bit, with a 6ft SSE swell (523 energy) and cross-off wind, but it’s not the same quality. The real gem hidden in the back half of the forecast is Sunday the 2nd of August morning. The swell drops to 5ft SSE (800 energy), but the wind is dead calm – glassy. And the period jumps to 12 seconds, giving you some proper long-period groundswell. Dee Why Point loves that. It’s gonna be clean as a whistle. Get out there for a dawny.
The following week has some strong pulses, but a lot of it is too big for this spot. Wednesday the 5th of August morning looks good with a 8ft S swell (935 energy) and gentle offshore – another solid option for the experienced surfer. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th see the swell ramping up to 12ft, even 15ft S (4412 energy on Friday arvo). That’s massive, and the forecast flags it as too big for the break. Only for the absolute nuts, or maybe just watch from the headland. The energy readings are very strong. After that, it drops back but the wind turns onshore again, messing up the quality into the second weekend.
To wrap it up, the best windows are Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July mornings, and that glassy Sunday the 2nd of August morning. The mid-week of the 5th is also a good shout. The rest is a mix of fluff, onshore slop, or straight-up mutant swell.
Rusty out.

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.
