G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The first solid run of surf we see won’t kick off until Monday, 20 July, so we’ve got a real long dry spell through this week and into the weekend. For an exposed beach/sandbar that’s usually very consistent, that’s not a good sign. But it tends not to stay flat forever – forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

Now, we’ve got a tiny bit of background energy on Monday 13 July – 0.7 ft from the ESE with a short 8 second period and combined energy of just 7 (weak). Wind’s cross-off NW, so the water would be clean, but it’s basically nothing to ride. Tuesday through Thursday next week? Flat as a tack – zeros on the board. Light to moderate winds varying from NW to south, but no swell. Into Friday 17 July we start seeing some tiny 2 ft E windswell, still with a miserable 5 second period, and southerly cross-on winds making it choppy. Saturday 18 July brings a bit more – 3 ft to 3 ft from the ESE/E, period still short at 5 to 7 seconds, energy up to 100 (moderate) but onshore winds and rain showers make it messy. Nothing worth paddling out for.

Sunday 19 July sees the first hint of something better. Swell pushes to 5 ft from the ENE, period improves to 9 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 348 (moderate). Winds are light ESE/E, mostly onshore or cross-on. The forecast calls it marginal, and I’d agree – it’s not clean enough, the direction’s not optimum for this break (which likes ENE), and it’s still a bit lumpy.

The standout – and it’s not great, but it’s the best we’ve got – is Monday morning, 20 July. We’ve got 4 ft from the ENE at 9 seconds, combined energy of 275 (moderate). What makes it decent is the wind: glassy. A light NE breeze of 3 mph, practically still. That early session could offer some clean if small waves at Narrabeen-Alley Rights. The ENE direction matches the optimum swell direction for this break, so there’s potential for a few fun ones. It’s an advanced spot that can get crowded often, so expect company. After the morning, the wind shifts cross-on and the quality drops back to marginal.

Through the rest of that week, we see sizes dropping back to 4 ft Tuesday, then 3 ft Wednesday, with periods staying around 9 seconds and energy fading from 191 down to 93. Winds are OK – light westerlies on Tuesday morning give clean conditions – but the swell’s just too small for a standout. Thursday 23 July has a bit of offshore NW wind but only 2 ft – not enough. Friday 24 to Sunday 26 July stays in the 1 ft to 2 ft range, with glassy mornings but no real push. The water temperature sits around 65°F with a small anomaly of 0.5°F – basically normal for the time of year.

Looking into the second week, we’ve got a small pulse on Tuesday morning 28 July: 6 ft from the SSE at a short 7 second period, energy 394 (moderate). Winds are WSW cross-off at 9 mph, so clean enough, but that short period and SSE direction are not ideal for this break. It’s more of a beach-break slop than anything lined up. The afternoon drops to 5 ft with light SSW cross winds.

Honestly, there’s nothing here that’ll get the heart pounding. The only window that’s worth a look is that Monday 20 July morning when it’s glassy and the swell lines up from the ENE. For the rest, you’re better off checking back later. Keep the stoke low and the hope high – this stretch won’t last forever.
