Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Northern Beaches.
Right off the bat, the next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. We've got some swell coming through, but it's not all clean. The standout window is the end of the week and into the weekend.
Thursday the 9th is a write-off. We've got a solid 6ft SE swell, but the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-on, and it's raining. The water is about average for the time of year. Not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is moderate (826).
Friday the 10th is where it's at. The swell drops a touch to 6ft, still from the SE, but the wind turns in our favour. Friday morning it's a light cross-off from the WSW, and by Friday afternoon, it goes glassy. That's the call. Glassy conditions at Narrabeen-North with a strong 6ft SE groundswell (10 second period). The energy is still moderate (580). This is easily the best of the bunch. It's a very consistent spot, so expect waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 11th still has waves, but the swell drops to 3ft from the ESE. The period is a touch longer at 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the NW in the morning and cross-off from the N in the afternoon. It'll be clean, but a lot smaller. The wave energy is moderate (404). It's a good option but not as solid as Friday.
After that, it's a long, dry spell. From Sunday the 12th right through to the end of the outlook on the 24th, it's mostly flat or tiny. We get a few pulses of poor-quality, short-period windswell, but nothing worth getting excited about. There's a small 3ft bump from the SSW on the 15th, but with a 6-second period and strong winds, it's not going to be a surf session. The 16th and 17th see a bit of a spike in energy from the SSE with some 8ft swell, but the wind is a near gale, blowing it out completely. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, to sum it up: Friday afternoon, July 10, at Narrabeen-North. That's your one. Glassy, clean, and a solid 6ft of SE swell. Get on it.
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. 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.
