The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming.
Honestly, for the next 10 days or so, Narrabeen-North is in a bit of a quiet patch. There's surf around, but it’s tiny, messy, or lumpy. Nothing to get excited about. We've got a big gap from now until around the 12th of September where it’s mostly below 2ft and blown out, so don't bother rushing down.
There's a flicker of life on the 12th of September (Saturday morning) with a 5ft swell from the NE, but the cross-off wind keeps it clean-ish. The combined energy hits 425 – moderate to strong – but it's still a short-period 7-second wind swell, so expect lumpy, dumpy walls. It’s a “marginal” call; not exactly a standout.
The real gold sits later in the outlook. 16th of September, Wednesday morning – that's your pick of the whole 16-day run. We get a solid 6ft swell from the east (ENE) with an 8-second period, so it's got some push. Combined energy is a strong 468, and with a light offshore W wind at 9 mph, it'll be clean, organised, and have some decent grunt. That wind is the key – it’ll groom the beach breaks nicely. The afternoon stays clean with a 6ft E swell (energy 410), but it’s not quite as crisp.
Then the 17th of September (Thursday morning) keeps the vibe going with another 5ft ENE swell, energy at 364, and a light offshore N breeze at 6 mph. Glassy morning, clean lines. This is the second-best slot.
So, the plan: you sit through a lot of flat, windy junk for a week and a half, then the 16th and 17th of September deliver. Mark your calendar.
Keep it salty.
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.
