Narrabeen-North Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Narrabeen-North has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it's a bit of a slow burn with plenty of days that are just flat or messy. The water temp is hanging around 17°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real window of opportunity pops up on Sunday the 9th. The morning session is where it's at – we've got a 4ft swell rolling in from the ENE, and with a light northerly breeze, it's staying clean. The combined energy is moderate at 200, so there's a bit of push behind it, but nothing too hectic. It's a beach/sandbar setup here, so not a classic point break, but for a Sunday funday, it's worth a paddle. The afternoon drops off a bit with the swell fading to 3ft and a stronger northerly, so get in early.

The next standout is Monday the 10th. The morning is looking solid with a 5ft NE swell and a fresh, clean offshore wind from the WNW at 35 km/h. That's going to groom the face nicely. Wave energy jumps up to a solid 342, so there's some grunt in the water. This is advanced territory with that size and punch, so not one for the grommets. The break is very consistent, and with the right wind and size, it could pump. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.

After that, things get quiet again until we get a surge of energy on Saturday the 15th. A big 10ft SSE swell arrives in the afternoon, but the wind is onshore and strong at 40 km/h. The energy reading is massive at 1636, but the conditions are messy. The swell period is a short 10 seconds, so it'll be a jumbled, closed-out mess. This is only for absolute experts if anyone even bothers, and honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.

Into the second week, the surf is mostly poor with cross-onshore winds and choppy, lumpy conditions. The morning of Thursday the 20th offers a glimmer: a small 3ft SE swell with a clean light offshore from the NNW. It's surfable but ordinary. The 21st is similar with a 2ft SE swell and clean morning winds. Nothing to write home about, but it's a window for a quickie.

In summary, the best on offer is without doubt the Sunday 9th morning and, more so, the Monday 10th morning. They are your best bets for a decent, clean wave with some real push. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
