The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what Narrabeen-North has for us over the next couple of weeks.
The start is a total washout. From Wednesday the 15th through Thursday the 16th, we’ve got strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions, with no real swell energy at all. Don’t even bother.
A tiny pulse shows up Friday the 17th – a 0.8m swell from the ESE at a weak 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 46 – that’s weak. A bit of easing wind but still messy. Saturday the 18th pushes up to 1.3m from the E at 7 seconds, energy at 173 (moderate), but still cross-onshore and choppy.
Sunday the 19th gets interesting but tricky. A 2.1m E groundswell at 11 seconds rolls in, with strong energy at 1026. That’s over 2.5m in the morning, expert-only stuff, and the wind is cross-on, so it’s not clean. There’s a window in the afternoon with a light ESE breeze, but it’s marginal.
Monday the 20th morning is the real gem. Glassy conditions – light NNW wind, offshore direction – with a clean 1.6m swell from the ENE at 10 seconds. Energy is 542 (moderate-to-strong). This is going to produce clean, well-shaped waves. Crowds are likely at Narrabeen, so get out there early.
Tuesday the 21st has similar 1.6m ENE swell, with a light NNW cross-offshore wind in the morning. Clean again, energy at 499. The afternoon gets choppy with a NE breeze.
Wednesday the 22nd is clean again with 1.4m ENE swell and a W cross-offshore wind. Thursday the 23rd is another standout – 1.7m E swell at 11 seconds, with a gentle WNW offshore wind. Energy is 737. That’s going to be very good, clean surf. Friday the 24th morning holds at 1.6m but the afternoon gets blown out by a strong S wind.
Into the second week, the swell backs off. From the 25th, we get 1.0m to 1.3m ENE/E swells. The mornings of the 26th and 27th look clean with light offshore winds. The 28th Tuesday morning is clean again with a 1.0m E swell and NW offshore wind. The last few days drop below 1.0m, with weak energy (97-167). Thursday the 30th morning has a tiny 0.7m E swell with offshores – a funboard day at best.
The clear standouts are Monday the 20th early for the glassy conditions and Thursday the 23rd for the bigger, clean groundswell. 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.
