Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about The Wedge over the next couple weeks. This advanced reef break doesn't fire often – it's inconsistent – but when it does, it's a beast. Right now we've got a long stretch of flat, messy days. From Sunday July 5 through Tuesday July 7, it's all tiny, choppy junk with rain – not worth paddling out. Midweek sees a bump in swell, but the wind stays cross and the energy's moderate (1644), so nothing clean yet. Water temp is about 66°, normal for July.
Then Friday July 10 becomes the highlight. Light rain, but the wind goes light cross-off from the west, smoothing everything out. Swell runs about 6 ft from the southeast, period 9–10 seconds, and the combined energy sits in the moderate-strong range (587–622). Not the wedge's ideal direction – it would rather see northeast – but with clean conditions and that size, you'll get some good ones. Saturday July 11 morning also looks promising: clear skies, offshore wind from the WNW at just 3 mph, swell 4 ft from the southeast, period 9 s, glassy. Both these windows should offer fun waves, but remember the break is inconsistent and crowds pop up "sometimes" – so expect company.
After Saturday afternoon the swell drops fast. Sunday July 12 onward goes tiny, and the rest of the fortnight is mostly flat with clean but useless waves. So don't plan around a second pulse – Friday's the call, maybe Saturday morning if you're keen.

Information about the The Wedge Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Wedge provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Wedge can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Wedge 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 (The Wedge) 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 The Wedge 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.
The Wedge is 16 km (10 miles) from the city of Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
