Narrabeen-North Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Strap in, ‘cause the next couple of weeks are gonna be a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some proper clean windows and a few days of serious grunt, but you’re gonna have to pick your moments.

Right off the bat, the surf is pretty ordinary. For the first few days, we’re looking at tiny, weak lines that are barely breaking. Friday the 11th has a bit of a cross-on breeze chopping things up, and Saturday the 12th is dead small. There’s a good stretch of nothing here, probably four or five days where you’re better off doing something else.

Things start to get a little more interesting come Monday the 14th, but honestly, it’s still pretty average. We get a bit of a pulse pushing through, but it’s short-period windswell, and the conditions are just mediocre. The energy is still weak, with combined energy values of 155.

Then we hit a proper flat spell. From Tuesday the 15th right through to Thursday the 17th, the swell just disappears. We're talking ankle-biters, with energy readings down as low as 3. It’s a real dead period, and you’d be lucky to find anything rideable.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday the 18th. It’s not huge, but that light offshore wind makes everything look clean. Early morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSE with a cross-off breeze and a combined energy of 273. It’s the best we’ve seen, but still not a standout. The following week is mostly more of the same – small and weak, with onshore breezes messing things up.

Now, the real fireworks are saved for the final stretch. On Thursday the 24th, there’s a proper swell building but it’s arriving with a southerly breeze and rain, making it messy and lumpy. The energy kicks up to 689, but that wind will wreck it.

Forget that. The standout of the entire window is Friday the 25th.

Narrabeen-North is where you want to be that day. Early morning is pure magic: a calm, glassy sea, no wind at all, and a solid 7ft swell from the ENE. The combined energy is a strong 522. The waves will be proper, powerful lines. But here’s the catch – that swell is set to keep building. By Friday afternoon, it’s predicted to be a massive 10ft with the combined energy jumping up to a very strong 1190. That’s serious, expert-only territory. It might be too much for the beach/sandbar setup here, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, it could be insane. Get it while it’s clean in the morning, because that afternoon it’s gonna be a beast.

The next day, Saturday the 26th, backs off a touch. It’s still solid at 7ft in the morning, but the cross-on breeze returns, making it a bit choppier. Still worth a paddle, but it’s not the same as Friday’s clean conditions.

So, there you have it. A whole lot of nothing, a couple of average days, and one potentially epic session on Friday the 25th if you’ve got the skills. Keep an eye on that one.

Stay salty,
Rusty
