The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly mate, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first week is pretty flat and ordinary for the most part, with a few tiny, weak swells and nothing really worth paddling out for. You get a small bump on Thursday the 23rd of July – around 3ft from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds, combined energy sitting at 121 (moderate). Winds are cross-off from the west at 9 mph, so it’s surfable but nothing to get excited about. That’s about it for the first few days.

From Friday the 24th through to the middle of the following week, it drops right off. Swell heights tumble below 2ft, period drops to 8 seconds or less, and combined energy falls into the weak range – single and double digits. There’s a long gap with no real recommendations at all. Winds aren’t doing us any favours either. Saturday the 25th afternoon goes glassy with a tiny 0.7ft wave, but there’s no power behind it. You’d be bobbing around.

Then, on Friday the 31st of July, things get wild. A late push of swell arrives from the SSE at 10ft, with a period of 10 seconds, and combined energy hits 1500 (very strong). But here’s the catch – the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. Winds are cross-onshore from the SSE at 12 mph, so it’s going to be messy and maxed out. This is big-wave, advanced territory only, and honestly, for most surfers it’s not the day.

The standout window lands on Saturday the 1st of August into Sunday the 2nd. Saturday morning is the pick of the whole outlook. Swell drops to a still solid 8ft from the SE, period at 12 seconds – proper groundswell – and combined energy is 1398 (very strong). Winds are light, cross-off from the west at just 6 mph, giving you clean conditions. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The long period will set up nice lines at this point break, though it may wall up a bit at the beachy sections. Sunday morning is also decent – 5ft from the SE, 10-second period, energy at 474 (moderate), light cross-off wind, clean. Good option if Saturday is too solid for you.

Into the second week, Wednesday the 5th of August morning sees another pulse: 8ft from the SE, short 8-second period, energy at 841 (strong), with clean cross-off west wind at 9 mph. That’s a lot of raw energy but the short period means it’ll be a bit jumbled – still worth a look for the crew who like it punchy.

Water temp? Pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.

Overall, the best bet is Saturday the 1st of August morning. Big SE groundswell, light offshore wind, clean – that’s the one to circle on the calendar.

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