The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got coming down the line at Dee Why Point.
Right now, the start of the period is pretty lackluster. We’ve got some small waves, but the conditions are messy and not really worth paddling out for. Monday morning (September 7th) might look tempting with a glassy surface, but it's only 4ft from the SSE at a short 8 seconds, and the energy is weak (258). It’s ordinary at best. Monday afternoon gets worse with a cross-on wind making a mess of things, so skip it.
The gap here is real. From Monday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon (September 9th), it’s a write-off. There’s some size on Tuesday morning (September 8th) – 8ft from the SSE – but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are only marginal, and the crowd factor here at Dee Why Point is something you’ll have to deal with.
The real standout, and I mean the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Friday morning (September 11th). This is the best on offer. The swell is a solid 8ft from the south at 10 seconds, and the energy is pumping (2101). The wind is a light cross-off from the SW, which is going to leave the faces clean. This is advanced territory though – that 8ft is pushing expert-only, especially with that energy level. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Saturday morning (September 12th) is also a nice runner-up. You’ve got 6ft from the SSE with a longer 11-second period, which adds some nice push, and the wind is a light cross-off. It’s clean and good, but the crowd factor is still there, so get out early.
After that, things drop off sharply. From Sunday (September 13th) through most of the following week, the swell fades to nothing much – under 3ft – with onshore winds and poor conditions. It’s a dry spell.
Then, hang in there, because the long-range forecast has a promising pulse. Around Saturday (September 19th) morning, we see a 7ft south swell with a nice 12-second period and a clean cross-off wind from the WNW. That’s another one for the experienced crew. Sunday (September 20th) afternoon keeps the window open with a 5ft SSE swell and a glassy offshore wind from the WSW, which is clean and good.
So to boil it down: Friday morning (September 11th) is the best day in the first week, and Saturday (September 19th) morning is your long-range hope. Everything else in between is flat or blown out.
