The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

The short story is, Narrabeen-Alley Rights is going to take its time waking up. There's a lot of flat, small, or messy days to get through before we see any real action. This is a beach/sandbar setup, so it needs a decent swell and the right wind to line up, and for the first week, it's mostly a waiting game.

We start off on Wednesday, 29 July, with tiny waves, barely a ripple. That trend holds all through the end of July and into the start of August. You’re looking at a long stretch of days with negligible swell, poor surf conditions, and not a single recommendation. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing to write home about there.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday, 01 August. The morning is clean with a light west wind, offering up a tiny bit of swell from the SSE at 1 ft, but it's still a struggle. The afternoon sees a jump in energy to 5 ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of 551, but the wind turns onshore from the ENE, making it choppy and messy. It’s a tease more than anything.

Now, Sunday, 02 August morning is where things get interesting. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The swell builds to 5 ft from the SSE, period pushing 12 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 609 – that’s moderate to strong energy. The wind is light from the north, clean and cross-off. This is the window. The break will have some shape and power, and with light winds, it should be clean. Crowds are likely here, but for this one session, it might be worth the company.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is a mixed bag. Monday, 03 August has a clean offshore morning but the swell drops back to 3 ft, and the energy is only 170. It’s surfable but ordinary. The conditions then fall away again, with nothing worth paddling out for until the following week.

The next notable pulse arrives on Friday, 07 August. The swell pops up to 6 ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of 814 – that’s a lot of power. But the wind is cross-shore from the SSW in the morning, and the forecast flags it as marginal. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a shorter period swell, which can be a bit lumpy. This is a wave for more experienced surfers, as it’s over 5 ft, and with the cross-shore, it won’t be the cleanest. Saturday, 08 August is similar, with 5 ft swell and a cross-shore wind, and the period drops to 9 seconds. This is more of a challenge than a treat.

The last glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, 09 August morning. The swell drops to 3 ft, but it’s from the ESE with a 12-second period, giving it some real push. The combined energy is 410, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the north. This is a good, clean session for a smaller board. The afternoon, however, gets ruined by a strong 19 mph cross-shore wind from the NE.

After that, it’s back to small, poor conditions for the rest of the forecast window. The 16-day outlook is mostly a dud, with that one Sunday morning on 02 August being the clear winner. If you’re keen, set your alarm for that one.

Rusty.
