The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Narrabeen-Alley Rights over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, if I’m being honest. The ocean is a messy, choppy, and cross-onshore mess on Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th, with a weak, short-period swell at about 4ft at best. The combined energy is low, only 151 (133 in the arvo). Not worth paddling out for.
But hold onto your boardies, because things flip on Friday the 28th. The morning session is your standout. We’ve got a clean 5ft groundswell from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds, and it's glassy. The combined energy jumps to 667 (moderate), and the wind is a perfect offshore from the west – glassy. This is the morning to be out there. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-onshore, so make the most of the early session.
Saturday the 29th is a step down. The swell drops to 5ft, still from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 391. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit lumpy and marginal. Still fun for the advanced crew, but not the standout.
Sunday the 30th is small and clean in the morning with a 2ft SE swell from a light offshore (WSW). The energy is weak at 124, so it’s a grovel board kind of day. The arvo is a total dud.
From Monday the 31st right through to the end of the forecast on the 10th of September, it’s a flat, weak, and mostly unrideable run. The swell barely pushes 1ft to 2ft most days, with energy values in the teens and twenties. There are a few clean offshore mornings, like the 1st and 2nd of September, but with no height, it’s not worth the paddle. The only faint pulse is on the afternoon of the 5th of September, with a 5ft, short-period S swell, but it’s choppy and cross-onshore. Not one for the log book.
So, the real highlight is the Friday morning, the 28th of August. Glassy, solid, and clean. The rest of the window is a big gap of flat or poor conditions, especially from the 31st of August onwards. It’s one of those stretches where you’ve got to be ready to pull the trigger when it’s on.
Rusty.
