The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to level with you—this Narrabeen-Alley Rights stretch is in a proper drought for the next week and a half. We’re looking at a dead spell from now right through to the 31st, with nothing but tiny, gutless dribble and poor conditions. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show until Saturday the 1st of August. That’s a long, dry gap.
The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 64°, so no dramas there.
When the surf finally does turn on, Saturday morning the 1st of August is your best bet. We’ve got a solid 6ft of groundswell pushing in from the SSE, with a clean 10-second period. The combined energy is ticking over nicely at 782 (moderate). The wind is a light WSW cross-off breeze, so it’ll be clean—a real treat after all that flatness. The only catch is this is an advanced-level spot, and with waves around 6ft, it’s getting into the territory where beginners should think twice. The swell is hitting from the ENE optimum direction, which is a good look for this exposed sandbar. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company if you paddle out.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning is worth a mention too—5ft from the SSE, period holding at 10 seconds, combined energy of 395 (moderate). Winds go NNW at just 3 mph, basically glassy. It’s smaller and cleaner again, a nice follow-up session.
Come Monday the 10th of August, there’s a massive pulse forecast—15ft of SSE groundswell with an 11-second period, and the energy rockets to 4770 (very strong). But mate, that’s way too big. The finder’s own notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break. Only absolute experts might even look at it, and even then, that’s a dangerous beast. The morning wind is offshore and light, but the size rules it out for most.
So to wrap it up: the standout is Saturday morning the 1st of August. Clean, solid, and punchy. Get in before the crowds. Sunday morning is a decent backup. After that, there’s not a lot to write home about until that giant swell shows up, but that one’s for the brave or the foolish.
Rusty.
