Table - best surf conditions forecast for Narrabeen-North over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Narrabeen-North. The next 16 days are starting off with a bit of a wait, so don’t rush down there just yet.
We’ve got a long quiet spell kicking off. After the morning of Saturday the 11th, which offers the only real chance in the first week, things go flat and pretty ordinary for days. From Sunday the 12th right through to that Saturday morning on the 18th of July, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. A lot of those days have zero swell, or just ankle-high dribble with poor conditions. You’ll be watching the horizon for nothing.
The standout of the whole outlook is Monday the 20th of July. That morning, it’s looking like the real deal. Clean, offshore wind from the NNW at about 16 mph, and a nice 5.2 ft swell coming out of the ENE, with a 10 second period. The combined energy is pumping at 840 (moderate wave energy), and the forecast is calling for very good surf conditions. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’ll be got at a solid advanced level, so keep that in mind if you’re new to the game – 5 ft to 5.2 ft is getting into the steeper stuff. The crowds are often there, so expect some company for the clean lines. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
The afternoon of that same day, Monday the 20th, is still good with 4.9 ft and offshore wind, but the energy drops a notch to 360. Still a solid session, though.
After that, things taper off again. Tuesday the 21st gets messy with cross-shore wind, and by Wednesday the 22nd, we’re back to smaller, ordinary surf. The last few days of the month are mostly small, weak, and poor quality – not worth planning around.
So, bottom line: don’t even bother until the 19th, then keep your eyes locked on Monday the 20th. That’s your play.

Information about the Narrabeen-North Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Narrabeen-North provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Narrabeen-North can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Narrabeen-North surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Narrabeen-North) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Narrabeen-North may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
