Table - best surf conditions forecast for Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s talk about Narrabeen-Alley Rights. This is a classic exposed beach-and-sandbar break, so it needs the right mix of wind and swell to turn on. Water temp is about 65°F, which is normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

The next few days are a bit scrappy. Thursday morning has a light cross-shore and a 6ft SE swell rolling in with a combined energy of 826 – that’s a decent moderate pulse. But the wind is just off enough to keep it grovelly. Thursday afternoon gets worse: the wind goes onshore from the SSE, and with the swell coming from the same direction, it’s going to be a choppy mess.

Friday afternoon is the first real bright spot. The wind drops to glassy, and there’s a clean 6ft SE swell, energy at 580. That’s a solid window for some fun, clean waves. The period is a short 10 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell, but with no wind messing it up, it’ll be worth paddling out.

Saturday morning sees a drop to 3ft, but the swell swings to the ESE with a longer period of 12 seconds, giving it better push. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, so it’s clean. It’s small, but with a log or a fish, you’ll have fun.

From Sunday through to Wednesday morning, it’s a flat spell. Swell drops to about 3ft and then to nothing – a few days of barely a ripple.

Then things get big. From Thursday 16 July onward, we get a massive pulse. We’re talking 18ft from the SSE on Thursday, with a combined energy of over 6500 – that’s very strong. But the wind is howling onshore at 25 mph, so it’s blown out. Kite surfers might be interested, but for a paddle board, it’s a no-go. This big swell lasts through the 18th, all with onshore winds, so it’s messy.

The next window opens on Sunday 19 July morning. Wind is light onshore from the SE at 6 mph, but the swell is still 12ft from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, energy at 2837. That’s too big for this break, expert-only, and even then it’s a handful.

The best bet of the whole outlook is Monday 20 July morning. The wind swings offshore from the WNW at just 3 mph – glassy, clean. Swell is 6ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, energy at 804. That’s a solid, moderate-to-strong pulse with clean conditions. This is the standout.

Tuesday 21 July morning is also good: offshore NW wind at 9 mph, 4ft ESE swell, period 10 seconds, energy 328. Smaller but clean.

The rest of the second week gets messy. Wednesday 22 July has another big pulse of 12ft from the SSE with a strong cross-offshore wind, but it’s too big. Thursday 23 July is blown out. Finally, Friday 24 July morning looks promising: offshore NW wind at 6 mph, 8ft ESE swell with a period of 11 seconds, energy at 1121. That’s a solid groundswell, clean, and a bit big for beginners but a treat for experienced surfers.

So, circle Friday afternoon 10 July, Monday 20 July morning, and Friday 24 July morning. The Monday 20 July session is the one to go for – your best chance of the whole 16 days.

Rusty.
