Howdy, this is Rusty.
We’re looking at a pretty dismal run at Narrabeen-Alley Rights for a while. The water temp is about 66° right now, which is normal for this time of year. Honestly, through Friday and into the weekend, it’s flat and messy – tiny 0.3m to 0.5m swell with poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out. A gap of no real surf stretches right through until the 6th of July.
Come Monday the 6th, it’s a whole different story. We get a big injection of energy – the combined swell energy hits a whopping 1110 (moderate to strong). The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving around, but the wind is onshore and lumpy, so it’s going to be a messy, challenging day. This is expert-only territory, way too big for beginners (over 8ft). Tuesday the 7th morning is the pick of the early week; still 8ft from the SSE, the combined energy is up at 2147 (strong), and the wind goes cross-shore. It’s still a heavy, powerful swell, best left to experienced surfers on a beach/sandbar set-up like this. The onshore slop returns in the afternoons though.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Saturday the 11th morning. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, and we get light cross-offshore winds from the WSW. It’s clean, the energy is moderate (368), and this is likely the best session on offer. It’s a standout, but it’s a short one – the afternoon gets light onshore. After that, the following Sunday and Monday see the surf fading fast, with tiny clean waves but very little power. From the 14th of July, it’s pretty much flat again through the 18th, with a small spike of 4ft on the 16th afternoon but ruined by strong cross-off winds. So, for the near term, hold out for the Saturday 11th morning for the only real chance of a decent wave.
Rusty.
