The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got.
Honestly, the outlook for Narrabeen-Alley Rights is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first surf that’s even worth a mention isn’t until the second week. There’s a big gap of flat, choppy, and messy conditions before anything remotely surfable shows up.
The first day that gets a sniff of a recommendation is Monday, September 14th. The morning shows a tiny 3ft swell from the NE, with a period of only 6 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell, with combined energy of 57 (that’s weak). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNW, so it’ll look clean, but the waves will be very ordinary. After that, it’s back to poor surf for days.
The next real chance is on Sunday, September 20th. The morning brings a 2ft swell from the SSE, with a much better period of 15 seconds – that’s a proper long-period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 182. Winds are light cross-offshore from the NNE, making for clean conditions. This is the standout session of the whole outlook. The combo of that long-period groundswell and light offshore wind will produce the cleanest, most lined-up waves of the entire period. For a beach/sandbar setup like this, the long period (over 15 seconds) can make the waves break a bit straight, so look for any defined banks or a rip bowl to get the best out of it.
Finally, Tuesday, September 22nd shows some promise in the morning. We’ve got a 2ft SSE swell, period of 12 seconds, with moderate energy at 202. Winds are light cross-offshore from the NNE, keeping it clean. The data says “expect good surf conditions” here. This is the most promising morning of the whole outlook, but remember, it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises.
The standout for the whole 16 days is the Sunday, September 20th morning session. The other morning to watch is Tuesday, September 22nd. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty, signing off.
