Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way up at Narrabeen-Alley Rights. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, so I’ll walk you through it.

Right now, it’s pretty flat and messy. The start of the period is a write-off, honestly. Friday through Sunday (the 3rd to the 5th of July) we’ve got tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The water temperature is sitting around 66°, about average for the time of year, which is nice for a winter paddle.

The real story kicks off on Monday the 6th of July. We get a big jump in energy overnight. Monday morning sees 8 ft south-southeast swell, with a solid 10-second period and the combined energy at a strong 1255. That’s a lot of power, but the onshore SSE wind at 12 mph is going to mess it up. The beach setup here won’t hold that size well with the wind on it. It might be more of a kite day than a paddle day, to be honest.

Tuesday the 7th of July is similar, but the wind swings a bit. Morning sees 7 ft SSE swell with energy at 1037, but with a cross-shore SSW breeze at 12 mph, it’s going to be a bit lumpy and choppy. Still not clean, but the size is there. Afternoon pushes up to 8 ft, and the wind turns cross-onshore. It’s marginal, and the crowd profile at Alley Rights suggests it’ll be *often* busy when it’s big, so factor that in.

Now, Wednesday the 8th of July is the standout. This is the one to aim for. Morning glass-off, with light west wind at 6 mph going cross-offshore, and 7 ft of SE groundswell at a 10-second period. The energy is 931, which is strong but not completely maxed. That combo of clean, offshore wind and solid 7 ft swell for an advanced spot like Alley Rights is rare. The swell direction is ENE optimum, and this SE swell is close enough to bend in. For the experienced crew, that Wednesday morning window is the only genuine highlight of the whole 16-day run.

After that, it fades again. Thursday the 9th of July morning is still surfable with 5 ft SE swell and cross-offshore WSW wind, but the energy drops to 509. It’s clean, but smaller. By the weekend (the 12th) we’re back to tiny 1 ft junk.

There’s a big gap from the 13th of July onward. Monday the 13th through to Saturday the 18th is mostly flat or tiny, with weak windswell and low energy numbers. A few days in there (13th and 14th) have zero combined energy at all. It’s a proper lull.

If you’re a surfer holding out, Wednesday the 8th of July morning is your only real shot at something worth getting out of bed for. The rest is a waiting game.

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.

Narrabeen-Alley Rights is 5 km (3 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
