The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the lowdown for our local stretch. Things are flat and quiet right now, with a long stretch of tiny, messy waves that aren’t worth a look until the first of August. That’s about six days of nothing.
On Saturday, 1st August, the morning brings a clean 4ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the W at 10 km/h, so it’s tidy. The water temp is around 65°F, which is about average for this time of year. It’s a small window for the advanced surfers, but not a standout. The afternoon goes glassy and smaller.
Sunday the 2nd is surfable but ordinary—2ft in the morning and 2ft in the afternoon with glassy wind. The energy is weak.
The real action hits on Wednesday, 5th August. The morning serves up a solid 8ft swell from the SSE, with a 13-second period—proper groundswell—and a massive energy reading. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WSW at 10 km/h, making for excellent conditions. This is too big for beginners. The afternoon stays glassy with 7ft and 12-second period. This is the standout: big, clean, and powerful.
Thursday the 6th is still good with 6ft from the SSE, 11-second period, and clean offshore wind in the morning. The afternoon gets cross-shore.
Then Sunday, 9th August, brings another heavyweight: 8ft from the SSE, 11-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. The energy is huge, and it’s for experts only.
The standout is Wednesday the 5th—big, clean, and powerful. Sunday the 9th is a close second for the hardcore crew. The rest is small or wind-affected.
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.
