Table - best surf conditions forecast for Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Gonna level with you – the next 16 days at Narrabeen-Alley Rights are mostly a struggle, but there are a couple of moments that’ll get your blood pumping.
Monday, 13th July kicks off with next to nothing – 0.2ft to 0.3ft of weak, short-period dribble. Tuesday through Thursday? Bone dry, zero swell. Proper flat spell.
Friday, 17th July, we see a pulse, but it’s ugly. Light rain and cross-onshore wind with 3ft to 4ft of 6-second ESE/SSE swell. Choppy and poor.
The golden window is Saturday, 18th July. Morning and afternoon go glassy – dead calm. You’ve got 4ft of east swell with a 8-second period, combined energy hitting 213 to 279 – moderate but lively for a beach setup. Water’s around 65°, right where it should be for this time of year. The swell direction is ENE, matching the spot’s sweet spot. It’ll be clean, fun, and rideable. Just know crowds are often a factor here, so set the alarm.
Sunday, 19th July, still 4ft but cross-onshore light breeze makes it marginal. Monday, 20th July morning, cleans up with a cross-off and 4ft of ENE swell – a solid second choice. Afternoon gets crossed up again.
Tuesday, 21st July morning, clean with 4ft of ENE swell, then it’s onshore and poor by afternoon.
From Wednesday, 22nd July, it’s a slow fade. Swell drops under 3ft, energy drains into double digits. Sure, there are a few clean mornings with offshore winds, but the waves are ordinary – 2ft to 3ft and unremarkable. The second week is quiet, with only a handful of surfable but weak days.
If you’re picking one, Saturday, 18th July is your day. Glassy, clean, and fun-sized. Don’t sleep on it.
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. Our Narrabeen-Alley Rights surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Narrabeen-Alley Rights) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Narrabeen-Alley Rights may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
