Narrabeen-North Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim start. We’ve got a solid few days of blown-out, messy conditions to get through before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t come until Friday, 10 July, and even then it’s not going to be huge, but the wind finally plays ball.

For the standout of the period, I’m looking at the afternoon of Friday, 10 July. Narrabeen-North is the spot. The swell drops a bit to 5ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a nice, fun groundswell. But the real magic is the wind: it goes glassy, dead calm. That’s going to give you silky, clean conditions. The water temp is 65°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there. The combined wave energy is moderate (509), and with that offshore wind setup, it’ll be worth the wait.

The morning of Saturday, 11 July, is also worth a mention. The swell is a bit smaller at 4ft from the SE, but we’ve got a clean offshore wind from the NNW. It’ll be smaller but clean. Just be aware that crowds are likely here, so get in early.

Now, after that little window, we hit a flat spell. From Sunday, 12 July, through to Thursday, 16 July, it’s mostly tiny or non-existent surf – you’re looking at ankle-biters and close-outs. Don’t bother.

Then, looking further ahead, there’s a promising pulse showing for Saturday, 18 July. The morning looks best: 5ft from the SSE, period around 10 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s another clean session with moderate energy (554). But for a forecast that far out, treat it as a hopeful sign – not a lock.

So, in a nutshell: sit tight through the mid-week slop, hit Friday afternoon or Saturday morning for the cleanest waves, and keep an eye on that second Saturday for a possible encore.

Rusty.
