The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Narrabeen-North and it’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get you out of bed. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
First up, the start of the period is pretty grim. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are a write-off with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. Swell is tiny or non-existent. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 18th is still poor. Moderate cross-onshore breeze with a choppy 4ft to 4ft easterly swell at a short 7-8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (165 to 217), but the wind just ruins it.
Now, Sunday the 19th is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a 7ft ENE swell rolling in with a long 11-second period, and the wind is light onshore. The combined energy is strong (936). The forecast is marginal due to tide, but with that size and period, you’ll want to be on it early. The waves will have some real push, but that 7ft is getting into expert territory, so leave the foamies at home.
The standout is Monday the 20th morning. The swell drops slightly to 6ft from the ENE, still with a 10-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the west. The combined energy is strong (571). This is clean, good surf. It’s the best on offer, with a very consistent break and an exposed setup that loves that ENE direction. Crowds are often here, so expect company, but for good reason. The afternoon turns a bit cross-shore, but the morning is the go.
Tuesday the 21st morning is still decent with a 5ft ENE swell, light cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. Combined energy is moderate (377). Solid enough for a session, but not as punchy as Monday.
After Tuesday, the swell fades quickly. From Wednesday the 22nd through the rest of the outlook, we’re looking at dropping swell heights from 4ft down to 1ft, with periods shortening to 8-9 seconds. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the energy drops to low double digits. The last few days are glassy or clean but with tiny 1ft waves. Not worth the drive.
So, if you’ve got one session to chase, hit Monday the 20th morning. The 6ft ENE groundswell with light offshore wind will be clean, powerful, and the best of the 16 days.
Rusty.

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.

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.
