The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Narrabeen-Alley Rights.
Straight up, it’s a pretty lean start. The first week or so is a real struggle, with barely a wave worth paddling for. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf from the 25th of July right through to the 31st. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1 ft, with weak energy (8 or less), and the wind is either onshore or cross-off, so it’s not doing us any favours. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a dead average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Then on the 31st of July, Friday afternoon, a big jump comes in – 8 ft from the SSE, but with a short 10-second period. The combined energy rockets up to 1129 (strong) but the wind is cross-onshore at 25 km/h, so it’s choppy and messy. That one’s a pass for me.
The first real standout is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. Swell from the SE at 7 ft, with a nice 12-second period, so it’s a proper groundswell with some punch. The energy is 1154 (strong). The wind is offshore from the NW, light at 10 km/h, making for clean, glassy conditions. This is the best on offer – it’s a solid wave for experienced surfers. The swell direction (SE) matches the optimum ENE direction pretty well, so it should line up nicely on the sandbar. Just be aware, it’s a beach break, and with a long period, it might break a bit straight, but the offshore wind will help. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.
Another good morning is Monday the 3rd of August. Swell from the SE at 4 ft, 10-second period, moderate energy (329). Wind is offshore from the WNW, light at 10 km/h, so clean again. It’s a bit smaller, but still a fun, surfable wave.
Looking further out, Friday the 7th of August morning has 6 ft from the E, 8-second period, with 798 energy (strong) and light WSW wind at 10 km/h, cross-off and clean. It’s a solid option for the second week, though the short period means it’ll be a bit more disorganised.
The standout remains the 2nd of August morning. Get out there early for the cleanest lines.
Rusty.

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.
