The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at Narrabeen-North for the next couple weeks.
The big one is Monday morning, July 20th. That’s the session you don’t want to miss. There’s a solid 6 ft ENE groundswell with an 11-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the west at 3 mph. Water temp is 65°, about normal for the season. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at 832. It’s an advanced wave and the place gets crowded, but a winter Monday morning might thin the pack. If you’re not ready for that size, stay on the sand, but for experienced surfers it’s going to be clean and powerful.
Monday afternoon drops to 6 ft with a 9 mph NE cross-shore. Still surfable but not as clean.
Tuesday the 21st has a 5 ft ENE swell in the morning with a light north cross-offshore breeze. Energy is at 433. It’s not as good as Monday but a solid option. The afternoon gets weaker.
From Wednesday the 22nd on, it’s a slow fade. That day has 4 ft waves and gets glassy in the afternoon, but it’s small. Thursday the 23rd drops to 3 ft, and by Friday the 24th it’s barely 1 ft. That flat spell stretches for days.
There's a long stretch of poor surf from Thursday the 23rd all the way through the rest of the 16-day window. On the 29th of July, a 20-second long-period swell shows up from the SSE, but it’s only 1 ft and the wind is a nasty 19 mph cross-shore, so it’s unsurfable. Most days after that show near-flat conditions with very low energy, often under 100.
So bottom line: Monday the 20th is your best bet, maybe a little on the 21st. After that, it’s a long wait. It’s not normal for this spot, but it happens. Keep watching the charts.

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.
