Dee Why & Long Reef

Dee Why & Long Reef is an E-facing reef break in Dee Why, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It picks up swell from NE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 34% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the W: light winds or W breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while E onshores chop it up.
