Narrabeen-Alley Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a bit of a slow start here, but there's a solid pulse of swell lined up for the middle of this week that will get the blood pumping. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.

Right off the bat, Wednesday the 8th of July is a bit of a write-off. There's 8ft of swell from the SE at 11 seconds, but a solid cross-onshore wind is making it a messy, choppy combo with a massive combined energy of 1748. It looks more like a day for the kite surfers than a paddle surfer, to be honest. Conditions don't improve much through Thursday either.

Friday morning the 10th of July is where it starts to turn around. The swell has dropped back to 5ft from the SE, but a light offshore breeze from the WSW will clean things right up. The energy is still moderate at 471, and the break is very consistent with an ENE optimum direction, so the sets should be lining up nicely. This is a solid option.

But the real standout here, the one to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 11th of July. Look for a 4ft swell from the SE in the morning with a 9 mph offshore wind from the NW. The wind is offshore and the surf is clean with the combined energy sitting at 369. It's not huge, but the quality will be excellent, and the morning session will be glassy perfection. This is the pick of the fortnight by a long shot, and crowds are possible at this spot when it's firing.

The afternoon holds a similar vibe with 3ft from the ESE and a clean offshore breeze, though it's a touch smaller.

After that, things drop right off. Sunday the 12th of July sees the swell crash down to 2ft and then basically nothing for days. There's a long flat spell from the 13th right through to the 20th of July, with only tiny, weak pulses that won't get you wet.

We finally see a hint of life on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with a 3ft NE swell, but the energy is weak and the period is just 6 seconds. It's still not worth paddling out for. The outlook stays quiet through to the end of the run, with a small bump of 3ft from NE on Thursday the 23rd, but again, the period is short.

So, in short, get out there on Saturday morning the 11th of July. The rest of the window is mostly a blank run, which can happen here, but that one morning will make up for it.

Rusty.
