Dee Why Point

Sydney, Australia
🪨Rocks👥Crowded👊Localism

Dee Why Point is Sydney's answer for those seeking quality reef over beach break randomness—a right-hand point that wraps around the northern headland with mechanical precision when solid southeast swells light up the Sydney coast. The wave requires more size than the surrounding beaches but rewards patience with long, workable walls and occasional barrel sections. The rocky entry and exit demand awareness, and the local crew has been surfing here for generations. On a good day, Dee Why Point offers some of the best surfing within the Sydney metropolitan area.
