Narrabeen-North Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Narrabeen-North over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a pretty quiet start to the outlook, I’m not gonna lie. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Sunday the 12th only has a 2ft ESE swell with a short 10-second period, and the energy is weak (105). The wind is a fresh cross-off shore, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. Monday the 13th is even smaller, with the swell dropping to 0.7ft. You’d be better off stayin’ home.

Things stay flat through Tuesday and Wednesday, with zero swell on the 14th and 15th. The wind is howlin’ cross onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. Not a single wave worth paddlin’ for.

Thursday the 16th sees a bit of life, with a 7ft SSE swell pushin’ in, but it’s a messy 7-second period and the wind is cross onshore, so it’s choppy and average. The energy is moderate (472). Still not worth a paddle.

Friday the 17th is similar – 6ft of ESE swell (551 energy) but the wind is still cross onshore, making it a choppy, frustrating session. You’d be fighting the wind more than the waves.

Now, Saturday the 18th is a slight improvement. There’s a 6ft E swell with a 9-second period, and the energy is beefing up to 565. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s a bit cleaner. Still, it’s only marginal, so don’t expect perfection.

The standout is Sunday the 19th. This is the one. We’ve got a solid 7ft E swell, a nice 11-second period, and the wave energy is crankin’ at 1118. The wind is glassy – dead calm in the morning. That’s the kind of glass you dream about. The swell is a bit on the bigger side, so this is for the experienced crew. It’s gonna be clean, powerful, and the sets will have some grunt. This is the morning to be out there. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore breeze, but the morning window is gold.

Monday the 20th is still decent, with a 6ft E swell and clean conditions thanks to a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is good (692), and it’ll be a fun, user-friendly day.

Tuesday the 21st brings a bigger 8ft ESE groundswell with a long 12-second period – the energy is huge (1631). This is a big swell, so only for the experts. The morning has clean cross-off wind, but the long period means it’ll be a bit straight at a beach break, but still plenty of juice.

The rest of the week tails off. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are smaller, with the 23rd offering a clean 6ft ESE swell (772 energy) in the morning – that’s a nice little session if you missed the big days. Friday the 24th is small but clean with offshore winds, and the weekend of the 25th and 26th is back to small, weak surf.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. Don’t even bother. The real action is Sunday the 19th – glassy, solid 7ft E swell, perfect for the experienced surfer. Monday the 20th is a good backup, and Tuesday the 21st is for the big-wave chargers. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a good 3/2mm steamer will do you fine.

Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the forecasts.

Rusty.
