Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dee Why Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Dee Why Point.
Right now, the pattern is a slow start, with a few days of nothing much before the real swell kicks in. The first little window is Saturday 11th July morning, with a 4ft swell from the SE, period of 9 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The water temp is about 65°F, which is average for the season. The energy is moderate (370). That’s your only real look in the early days if you’re itching to get wet.
After that, it goes flat. Sunday 12th through Tuesday 14th July are all poor, with the swell dropping to almost nothing and the wind picking up. That’s a solid three-day gap of no surf.
Then, Wednesday 15th July morning brings a big, solid pulse of 12ft from the south, 10-second period. The energy is very strong (2184). But that’s way too big for this spot – it’s an advanced wave, and at that size, it’s only for experts. The rest of that week stays messy with onshore winds and rain.
The real standout is Sunday 19th July. Dee Why Point sees 8ft of east swell, 10-second period, and glassy conditions all day. The energy is strong (2225). This is the pick of the forecast – clean, solid, and lined up. It’s still for experienced surfers due to the size, but the wind is perfect. Monday 20th July morning is also a gem: 8ft from the east, 12-second period, with a light cross-off breeze. That’s a long-period groundswell, so expect well-shaped waves with good energy. At a point break, that’s a good thing.
Crowds are often at Dee Why Point, so you’ll have company on those good days. The flat spell from the 12th to the 14th is a real lull, but that Sunday and Monday are worth waiting for.
Rusty.
