Narrabeen-Alley Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next stretch for Narrabeen-Alley Rights. It’s a mixed bag, so let’s break it down day by day.

We kick things off this Monday morning with a bit of hope. There’s a clean 3ft of swell pushing in from the southeast, with an 11-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s looking pretty tidy out there. The combined energy is sitting at 234, which is solid moderate energy, and it’s got that “expect good surf conditions” vibe. This is easily the pick of the next few days. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. This is a standout, so if you can, get out there this morning.

Monday afternoon drops off a touch to 3ft, still from the southeast, but the energy fades a bit to 194. It’s surfable, but the magic from the morning is gone. Still clean with that light westerly breeze.

Then we hit a real flat patch. From Tuesday the 4th right through to Sunday the 9th, it’s pretty grim. Swells are tiny, mostly under 2ft, with weak energy readings in the tens. There are a couple of moments on the weekend with glassy conditions on Saturday morning, but with only 1ft on tap, it’s not worth paddling out for. This is a solid gap of about five days with nothing recommendable.

Monday the 10th sees a bit of a pulse in the energy – 162 in the morning – but the swell height is still only 3ft. Westerly cross-offshore wind will keep it clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The rest of that week into the 13th is average at best, with the swell hovering around 2ft to 4ft, but the winds get messier. Thursday the 13th afternoon is a write-off with a strong southerly blowing 25 mph and rain. Not a pretty picture.

The second week, from the 14th onwards, is pretty quiet. We see a bit of a clean-up on Saturday the 15th morning with a light offshore and 2ft of east swell, but it’s small. The energy is weak, and it’s not really breaking with any punch. The periods are around 10-12 seconds, but the size just isn’t there. It’s not going to be worth a special trip.

So, in a nutshell, the standout is definitely Monday morning. It’s the only time in the window where the stars align for a decent, clean surf. After that, it’s a waiting game. There’s a lot of flatness and small, weak swell, which is a bit of a bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the long-range, but for now, make the most of that Monday session.

Rusty.
