The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me level with you, it has been a rough stretch and it’s going to stay that way for a good while. We’re looking at a big fat dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for until the very end of the 16-day window. The Wedge (Newport Beach) is the only spot on the map, and for over a week it’s a total ghost town for surfers.
Right now, it’s Monday the 7th and the water temp is about 65°, which is normal for this time of year. But from here, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’ve got a solid 10-day gap with no surf recommendations at all. The swell is tiny, often under 0.7 ft, and even when a little bump shows up, the wind just trashes it. Periods are all over the shop, but with barely any height, it’s useless. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly single or low double digits, nothing worth suiting up for.
We finally see a little life on Monday, September 21. The morning at The Wedge has some push: about 3 ft from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 104, the first sign of real power in this whole forecast. Even better, it’s glassy with light ESE breezes. That’s your only real window. By the afternoon, the onshore kicks in and it’s messy again. The next Tuesday morning still has a little 2 ft from the NE but the wind is already side-on, so it’s not the same quality.
The very last chance before that is Friday, September 18th. It’s small, only about 2 ft to 3 ft from the NE, but the wind goes offshore and clean, especially in the afternoon. The period is super short, around 5 to 6 seconds, so the waves will be soft and crumbly. It’s a glassy session for a log, but nothing with any punch. The Wedge is a reef break and it’s *inconsistent*, so a small, short-period north-east swell isn’t going to fire like you’d want.
Forget the crowds; there won’t be anyone out. If you’re hard up, pencil in that Monday 21st morning. That 3 ft NE swell with glassy conditions is the only true standout in two weeks.

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.
