The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're going to be staring at a whole lot of nothing for a while. The first solid recommendation I can give you is a tough one, and it's for Narrabeen-Alley Rights on Thursday the 23rd of July. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about average for this time of year – nothing wild there.

We've got a small 3 ft swell rolling in from the ENE, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 119 (moderate). The wind is a cross-offshore from the West at 9 mph, which should keep things clean. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don't expect anything world-class, but it's a paddle. The afternoon looks worse, so hit it early.

After that Thursday morning window, it's a long, dry spell. From Friday the 24th through to the end of the month, the surf is flat to tiny, with a lot of poor surf conditions. There's a big gap of several days here with no real recommendations to speak of.

Now, hold onto your board, because things get *interesting* towards the end of the month. On Friday the 31st of July, it's not a recommendation, but a massive 8 ft swell from the SSE hits in the afternoon. The combined energy is a massive 1628 (very strong), but the period is 11 seconds. The problem is the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the SSW at 19 mph, making for lumpy, challenging conditions. With that size and chop, this is strictly for advanced and expert surfers only. Honestly, with that wind and size at a beach/sandbar setup, it's looking more interesting for kite surfing than a clean paddle session.

The next morning, Saturday the 1st of August, might be your best bet. The swell drops to a still-solid 7 ft from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds and moderate energy (724). The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SW at 16 mph. It's still a bit rough, but the wave comment says "marginal surf forecast," which is better than what we've seen. This is still a big, powerful wave for experienced surfers only.

After that, it tapers off. The 4th of August Tuesday morning shows a tiny bit of hope with a 3 ft SE swell, 10-second period (122 energy), and glassy conditions. That's a long way out, so don't book your flights yet, but it's a promising glimmer in the long-range.

So, to wrap it up: there's a brief, small window Thursday morning the 23rd for a paddle, but the real standout, if you're a charger, is the weekend of the 31st of July through the 1st of August. That's the only time we have any real size on offer, but it will be messy. Keep an eye on it, but for now, the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag.

Rusty.
