The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the same stretch but in feet and knots.

The next few weeks at Narrabeen-Alley Rights are a real slow burn. The first few days are pretty much a write-off. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the end of July, the swell is tiny, like 0.3ft to 0.6ft, with cross or cross-off winds. The combined energy is in the single digits. It’s flat, plain and simple.

Then on Saturday the 1st of August, we get a pulse. The morning brings a 6ft SSE swell, but it’s messy with a cross-shore wind and a marginal score. The combined energy is 661, which is moderate. The afternoon is similar, with a 5ft SSE swell and cross-onshore wind. Not great, but it’s a start.

Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the best of the first week. Clean 6ft SSE swell, a 12-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the north. The combined energy is 961. The water temp is 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is the one to aim for. It’s an exposed beach/sandbar, so it’ll handle that swell, and it can get crowded here.

Monday the 3rd of August morning is still okay, with a 4ft SE swell and offshore wind, but the energy drops to 269. The afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft SE swell, but it’s small and ordinary. After that, the surf drops off hard. From Tuesday the 4th to Friday the 6th, we’re back to flat, tiny waves with combined energy under 100.

Friday the 7th of August morning shows a bit of life, with a glassy 4ft east swell, but the period is short at 6 seconds, and the energy is only 126. Unremarkable. Saturday the 8th of August morning has a clean 2ft SE swell with a very long 16-second period and an energy of 216. That long period will be a bit straight at the beach break, but it’s clean.

The next standout is Monday the 10th of August morning. A 6ft NE swell, 7-second period, and a clean cross-off wind. The combined energy is a strong 502, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is a punchy, fun beach break. The short period gives it a bit of a crumbly shape, but the size and clean wind make it a solid session.

The second week fades out. From Tuesday the 11th onward, the swell drops and the wind gets messy. There are clean mornings, like Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, but the swell is tiny, 1ft to 2ft, with some longer period energy but not enough push.

So, the two best sessions are Sunday the 2nd of August morning and Monday the 10th of August morning. The first has a bigger, cleaner groundswell. The second has a punchy, short-period NE swell. Everything else is a battle.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Narrabeen-Alley Rights can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
