The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this whole 16-day stretch is lookin' dry as a bone. We're talkin' about The Wedge, a reef that needs a solid kick from the NE to get goin', and the whole forecast is just a flat, empty promise. The swell is tiny, the energy is pathetic, and there's not a single moment where you'd wanna paddle out. We're lookin' at a run of poor surf conditions that starts now and just keeps on goin'.
The only thing that even flickers to life is a brief pulse around Monday, September 7th. For a moment there, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ENE, with period around 7 seconds, and the energy ticks up to 111 (moderate). The wind is fire offshore from the WNW, so it'll be clean. But even then, the wave comment says "poor surf conditions" and the score is a zero. It's a reef break, so that short period swell won't wrap in with any real shape. The water temperature is around 64°, which is normal for this time of year, but that doesn't matter when there's no surf to enjoy.
By the afternoon of the 7th, the swell shifts to the S at 4 ft, and the energy hits 117, still fresh offshore from the W, but again, the overall quality is just not there. It's a tease, not a session.
The bottom line is this: The Wedge is not gonna fire. It's an inconsistent spot that *rarely breaks* under perfect conditions, and this is not that. For the entire 16-day window, we've got nothin'. Nothin'. If you're lookin' for a paddle, you're better off just stayin' home. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run that's all too normal for this area.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
