G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Narrabeen-Alley Rights. Fair warning, the next 16 days have a pretty rough start, but we’ll get there.

Alright, so the first few days up to the 16th of July are basically a write-off. Swell is tiny or non-existent, and even when there’s a puff of energy, the wind is messy. You’re looking at a gap of about four days with nothing worth paddling for. Hang tight.

Then, Thursday the 16th of July morning, we see a jump in size with a 8ft SSE swell, but it’s coming straight onshore with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (581), but the wind is junk, so it’s not a goer. That carries on through Friday and into Saturday, the 18th of July. By Saturday afternoon, the swell is pushing 10ft from the east with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (1924). The notes say it’s too big for this break, and I’d agree – that’s expert territory only, and the cross-onshore wind will make it a grinder.

Sunday the 19th of July is the same story: 12ft east swell, very long period of 11 seconds, and massive energy (3064). It’s too big for a paddle session, and with the wind onshore, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfer’s wave.

Now, here’s the standout. Monday the 20th of July morning. The swell drops to a punchy 8ft from the east, period 10 seconds, and the energy is still strong (1203). More importantly, the wind is a light WSW cross-off, which is perfect for Narrabeen-Alley Rights. This will be clean, with good shape, and the longer period means better waves between sets. It’s an advanced spot, and the crowds are often there, but this is the window to score. The water temp is 65°F, which is about average for the time of year.

Tuesday the 21st of July morning is also worth a look. Swell is 6ft from the east, 10 seconds, with a light WNW cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (766), and conditions look clean. It’s a solid option if you missed Monday.

After that, the week trails off. Wednesday the 22nd has 5ft east swell, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit lumpy. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th have smaller 3ft and 3ft swell, but with clean offshore winds, there’s the odd fun wave if you’re desperate. The energy is weak by then (241-324). From Saturday the 25th onward, things drop right off, with swell under 2ft and weak energy (under 200). The long period of 12-13 seconds on the tiny stuff won’t save it.

So, bottom line: the best on offer is Monday the 20th of July morning. Big, clean, and powerful. Get it while it’s good.

Rusty.
