Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Narrabeen-Alley Rights.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The first few days are a write-off – onshore winds and lumpy, messy conditions. Sunday the 5th is flat with a weak 0.7 ft east swell and a strong southerly breeze, making it pretty ordinary. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th see a big jump in swell – 10 ft to 12 ft – but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy, with strong wave energy (1700 to 2766). Not worth paddling out, to be honest.
Wednesday the 8th stays lumpy, but Thursday the 9th shows a slight improvement with lighter winds, though the swell is still around 7 ft to 7 ft, and conditions are only marginal. Good news: Friday morning the 10th is where it starts to clean up. A light cross-offshore WSW breeze and a 6 ft SSE swell (combined energy 706) should give us some clean waves. Nothing massive, but the first real chance for a surf.
The standout in this outlook is Saturday morning the 11th. We’ve got a clean 4 ft SE swell with light offshore NW wind. That’s glassy conditions, nice and lined up. The period is 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit short-period, but for a beach/sandbar break, that’s fine. Crowds are often here, so expect company, but the quality will make it worth it. The water temperature is about average for this time of year at 65°.
Sunday the 12th morning also has offshore winds and a clean 3 ft ESE swell, but the energy drops right down (230). Good for a cruise, but not a standout.
Then the surf fades out. From Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th, swell heights drop below 2 ft and energy is weak (under 100). The wind stays messy or offshore but with nothing to push. Expect a three-day gap of tiny, flat conditions.
Then things get interesting again for the second week. Friday the 17th afternoon looks like a rare gem. A very long-period 16-second SSE groundswell hits 12 ft with onshore wind, but the wave energy is massive (5168). The guidance calls it too big for this break, so this is for experienced surfers only, and be careful – that long period can make it wall up on a beach break. Saturday the 18th morning sees 10 ft SE swell at 13 seconds with offshore WNW wind – again, expert territory, but clean and powerful (2845). Saturday afternoon drops to a cleaner 8 ft with offshore winds and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s the other real standout in the long-range: Saturday the 18th afternoon.
Overall, the first real surf is Friday the 10th, but the best bets are Saturday the 11th morning for clean, fun waves, and then Saturday the 18th afternoon for a bigger, more powerful session if you’ve got the skills. Keep an eye on that long-range – it’s promising.
Rusty.
