Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Righto folks, Rusty here, and we are staring down a pretty lean stretch for the Narrabeen-Alley Rights. This beach/sandbar setup in Northern Sydney is usually reliable, but it's gonna be a test of patience over the next two and a bit weeks.
The water temp's sitting on 66°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. But don't get too comfortable, because the surf is looking flat for the first several days. Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are a write-off with tiny, onshore junk. Monday the 6th through Thursday the 9th sees a jump in size as a proper solid swell arrives, but it’s hammered by strong onshore winds. Think 8ft of lumpy, stormy mess with the combined swell energy sitting between 1047 and 3805 – that's a lot of raw power, but with that S/SSE wind, it’s more of a battleground than a surf session.
The real standout, the only window that looks worth your time, is Friday the 10th. That morning we get a nice 7ft SSE groundswell (period hitting 11 seconds) with a light W wind, cross-off, creating clean conditions. Massive energy reading too at 1102, so there's proper grunt in the water. To top it off, Friday afternoon looks even better: glassy conditions with a 7ft SSE swell and a NNE wind so light it's almost nothing. That’s the one to circle. The combined swell energy backs off a touch to 980, but with glass it'll be the pick of the whole period.
Into Saturday the 11th, we’ve still got good waves with a 5ft SE swell and clean winds – but the size and energy drop compared to Friday. Sunday the 12th onward sees a steady decline into tiny weak stuff and long gaps with nothing. From the 14th to the 19th it's basically a flat spell, with only a tiny 4ft SSW bump on Saturday the 18th, but that’s more of a novelty than a serious option.
For kite surfers, that windy mess from Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th will look more interesting than it will for paddle surfers – big swell and strong S wind is not your friend on a beach break.
Keep your eye on Friday the 10th. That's the day.

Information about the Narrabeen-Alley Rights Surf forecast
