The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Dee Why Point are a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of waiting around. Most of the time you’ll be looking at poor to marginal conditions, and the really good stuff is a long way off. But there are a couple of windows that’ll get your heart pumping if you’re patient.
The first week or so is pretty grim. There’s a decent pulse of swell arriving on Wednesday morning, July 15th, with 10ft south swell and a period of 10 seconds, but the SSW wind is 25 km/h and cross-off, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The combined wave energy is really strong (3061), so that’s a lot of power, but it’s only rated as marginal. Thursday is even worse with 30 km/h cross-off winds and 6ft S swell – honestly, that’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a paddling day. The rest of that first week and into the weekend is tiny or messy, with ENE windswell and onshore or cross-shore winds. You’ll be staring at flat, choppy lines.
The water temp at Dee Why Point is 64°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Then we get a gap. The first true standout doesn’t arrive until Thursday, July 23rd. That morning is the pick of the entire forecast. You’ve got a clean 5ft east swell with a very long 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell, meaning better shaped waves and more energy between sets. The wind is a light 10 km/h WNW cross-off, so the face will be glassy. The combined energy is strong (1051). This is a classic Dee Why Point setup: a long-period east swell with offshore wind, and it’ll be a treat for the advanced crew. Just keep in mind, the point can get crowded, and with this quality, it’s likely to be busy.
The next morning, Friday, July 24th, is also worth a look. Another clean morning with a 5ft east swell, 11-second period, light WNW cross-off wind, and moderate energy (575). It’s a step down from the 23rd, but still solid.
After that, the wind gets messy again, and the swell drops off. There’s a late pulse on Monday, July 27th, with a 6ft south swell and 10-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is high (969) – it’s rated as very good, but the wind is a moderate 15 km/h, so it won’t be as clean as that 23rd morning.
So, the clear winner is Thursday, July 23rd. Get that date in your head. The rest? Mostly waiting, a few glimpses of hope, but the long-range stuff is promising but less certain. Keep the rubber on, and keep an eye on that long-period east swell. Rusty.
