Dee Why Point surf guide

Dee Why Point is a popular surf spot located on the northern beaches of Sydney. It attracts surfers due to its technical waves and unique setup. The point features a rock ledge that plays a key role in creating the surf conditions here. With a mix of local surfers and visitors, the vibe can be a bit intense, especially when the waves are firing. You can easily check the conditions from the surrounding areas before deciding to pay for parking.

This spot is known for its right-hand reef break that works best with a south swell and south-west winds. The optimal swell direction is from the south, but it can also handle east swells. Dee Why Point typically works well with swells around 4 feet (1.2 meters) but can manage bigger days. The mid tide is where you'll find the best waves, though it’s definitely not for beginners as the waves are quite technical.

If you're looking to surf different types of waves, Dee Why Beach has some beach breaks that can handle a bit more size, especially when other spots like No Mans are closed out. There's also a kiddies corner for less experienced surfers behind the pool, making it a good place for families. Just be prepared for a bit of localism while you're out there!
