G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, this is a patchy run. There are some decent pulses of swell, but the wind is gonna be a real fight for most of it. The water temp is sitting at 66°F which is about normal for this time of year.

We kick off this Saturday, 4th July with nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny 1ft swell from the NE with a short 7 second period and weak energy (27). Sunday is even worse – 1ft and 0.7ft, onshore winds. A total write-off.

Monday, 6th July, the swell jumps up to 8ft from the SSE, but that’s with a howling 16 mph SSE cross-onshore wind. The wave energy ramps right up to strong (1281), but it’s gonna be a choppy, lumpy mess. Not for paddling.

Tuesday 7th July has more of the same: 8ft to 10ft SSE swell, but still hammered by strong winds. A few moments might be borderline, but honestly, it’s not looking good.

Now, Wednesday 8th July morning – this is where it gets interesting for the brave. We’ve got a solid 10ft SSE swell (10 second period) and a moderate cross-shore wind from the SW at 12 mph. The combined wave energy is very strong (1610). But listen, this is over 5ft and over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts only. The swell is also predicted to be too big for this break, so it’s a big, heavy, challenging day. If you’re an experienced charger, it might be your window.

Thursday 9th and Friday 10th July mornings are still big (8ft SSE) with cross-shore winds, but conditions are only marginal. The real standout comes Friday 10th July afternoon. The swell drops to a still-chunky 7ft from the SSE, period at 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – SE at just 3 mph. That’s a rare window of clean, powerful surf. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is still moderate (1060). That Friday arvo is the pick of the whole forecast.

Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July see the swell dropping off fast (5ft down to 2ft) with lighter winds, but it’s not much to write home about. By Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th July, we’re down to tiny 1ft to flat surf, and the wind is howling offshore. Nothing doing.

There’s a long quiet spell from the 14th right through most of the 16th, with no surf or just poor conditions.

Then on Thursday 16th July, we get another big pulse: 10ft from the SSE with a short 8 second period, but the wind is cross-shore and strong. It’s poor again. The energy is moderate (889).

Friday 17th July stays poor – 7ft SSE, onshore winds.

Now, Saturday 18th July morning – this one is the other big standout. We’ve got 10ft SSE swell with an 11 second period (long period groundswell), and a moderate cross-shore wind from the SSW at 16 mph. The wave energy is very strong (1899). Again, this is too big for this break – experts only. That long period swell will be better on a point or reef, but at a beach break like this it could be closing out. Still, for the crew that know what they’re doing, that morning has potential.

Sunday 19th July morning stays big at 10ft SSE, but with lighter cross-shore winds. Again, too big for the average punter but a possibility for the experienced.

Overall, the best windows are Friday 10th July afternoon for the most user-friendly conditions with that glassy wind, and Wednesday 8th July and Saturday 18th July mornings for the big, raw, expert-only energy. This break is very consistent and often crowded, so when it’s on, expect company. The rest of the time, it’s a battle with the wind.

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.
