Narrabeen-Alley Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Narrabeen-Alley Rights.

Honestly, this is a tough run. We’ve got a 16-day window, but for the first 11 days there’s hardly a wave worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy readings are mostly in the single or low double digits. It’s a real flat spell to start.

Tuesday the 8th sees a bit of a pulse in the afternoon with a 7 ft swell from the SSE, and the combined energy jumps to 546 – that’s moderate wave energy right there. But the wind is onshore from the SE at 6 mph, and the conditions are labelled as marginal. It’s probably worth a look if you’re desperate, but don’t expect much.

Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are basically write-offs. We’re talking 0.7 ft to 0.3 ft swells with onshore winds. The water temperature is about average for September.

We finally get a bit of hope on Saturday the 12th. Morning is clean with a light NNW cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph. The swell is a tiny 0.7 ft from the ENE with a long 14-second period, but the wave energy is only 19 – weak stuff. It’s glassy, but there’s just no power. That afternoon gets chopped up again.

The pattern continues for the next week: small swells, variable winds. On Wednesday the 18th, the morning goes glassy with a NW wind at 3 mph, but the swell is only 0.7 ft. In the afternoon, there’s a bump to 3 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period and 211 moderate wave energy, but the cross-shore wind from the NE at 12 mph makes it messy.

Now, the standout in this whole outlook is Saturday the 19th. The morning brings a 2 ft SSE swell at 9 seconds, combined energy of 184 – moderate – and a moderate offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph. That’s clean. For Narrabeen-Alley Rights, this is the best of a quiet bunch. It’s a beach setup though, so don’t expect perfection. It’s surfable and clean, which is a win in this forecast. Remember, these long-range calls for the second week are promising but less certain.

After that, it’s back to small and clean on Monday the 21st with a glassy morning, and then small, clean conditions right through to Wednesday the 23rd, but still no significant swell to write home about.

There’s really only one window that looks worth a paddle – the morning of Saturday the 19th. For the rest, you’re better off checking the forecast in a few days.

Rusty.
