The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this forecast for Narrabeen-Alley Rights is a bit of a dud for the most part. We’ve got a long, quiet spell ahead with only a couple of flashes that might be worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about 0.9° cooler than usual for this time of year, so nothing wild there, just your standard winter chill.

The first decent hint of life doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, 8th August. We’ve got tiny 2ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and the wind goes glassy – WNW at 3 mph. It’s clean, but the combined energy is weak (72), so you’re looking at surfable waves but very ordinary conditions. Not a standout, just a sign that the ocean isn’t completely dead.

Sunday morning, 9th August, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north at 9 mph. Combined energy is moderate (191), and it’s clean. Still, the wave comment calls it poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.

Now, Monday morning, 10th August, is where it gets a bit interesting. We’ve got 6ft ENE swell, same 9-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-off from the west at 22 mph. The combined energy jumps to 535 (strong), and it’s clean. That’s borderline for experts – over 5ft, so beginners might want to sit this one out. The ENE direction matches the optimum swell direction for this spot, and the offshore wind should keep things tidy. It’s a short-period swell, though, so expect a bit of chop on the face. This is the best on offer in the first week, but it’s still rated as marginal surf due to questionable tide conditions.

After that, it mostly fades back into small, weak, or onshore slop. The next real standout is a long way off – Tuesday morning, 18th August. That morning has 5ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is light cross-off from the WSW at 6 mph. Combined energy is strong (568), and it’s clean. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is your best bet across the whole 16 days, but it’s over a week away, so take it with a grain of salt. The SSE swell is a bit off the optimum ENE direction, but with that strong energy and clean conditions, it should still pump.

The following Thursday morning, 20th August, also looks promising: 3ft SE swell, 10-second period, light cross-off from the WNW at 3 mph, and combined energy of 273 (moderate). Clean, with “expect good surf conditions.” Another solid option if you’re patient.

Overall, you’ve got a long gap of tiny, weak, or onshore junk from now until the 10th, then a few days of nothing again until the 18th. If you’re keen, aim for Monday 10th morning for a bigger, cleanish session, but the real gem is Tuesday 18th morning. Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
