The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
It’s gonna be a slow burn for a while, no doubt. The first few days are flat out gutless with barely a ripple on offer – nothin’ worth paddling out for. You’re lookin’ at a stretch of poor conditions from Wednesday the 29th right through to Friday the 31st of July. Tiny swell, weak energy, and just nothin’ to get excited about. Saturday the 1st of August shows a bit of life finally, but still real ordinary – small and pretty underwhelmin’.
The one and only standout in this whole run lands on Sunday the 2nd of August. Narrabeen-Alley Rights (a beach/sandbar setup) will be your best bet. Mornin’ session is where it’s at – a solid 6 ft SSE swell (moderate wave energy at 857) combin’ with a light N cross-off breeze. That’s clean, well-shaped potential with that longer 12-second period givin’ the waves some proper push. It’s very consistent here, so you won’t be waitin’ forever between sets, but expect company – crowds are often an issue. The water temp is sittin’ at about 65°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothin’ unusual there.
Monday the 3rd of August still has some clean morning waves – 3 ft SE with a light NW offshore – worth a look if you missed Sunday. But the weekend from the 7th through the 9th is mostly small and messy again, with only brief glassy windows but hardly any size. After that, into the second week, it’s a whole lot of nothin’ – weak energy and poor conditions right through to the 13th.
So head down on Sunday mornin’ if you wanna get wet. That’s the cream of the crop.
Rusty.

Information about the Narrabeen-Alley Rights Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Narrabeen-Alley Rights provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Narrabeen-Alley Rights can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
