Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Narrabeen-South over the next couple weeks.
Things start off flat and messy – Friday the 3rd is a write-off with tiny weak swell and a bit of breeze, so don’t even bother. The weekend picks up a bit. Saturday the 4th morning brings a clean 4ft south swell with a solid 12-second period, light westerly cross-off wind, and moderate wave energy (424). It’s a decent little session for the advanced crew, but the afternoon gets a bit crossed up. Sunday the 5th morning has a big jump – a 10ft south swell with 10-second period, strong south-southwest offshore winds, and very strong wave energy (2097). That’s too big for most, only for experts. It’ll be a powerful, heavy wall and the crowds are likely. That’s the standout early in the period if you’ve got the skills.
Monday the 6th stays big and a bit lumpy with onshore influence, not worth it for most. Tuesday the 7th morning is the real gem: a clean 7ft south-southeast groundswell, 10-second period, moderate offshore wind from the south-southwest, and strong energy (1183). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The water temp is sitting around 66°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Wednesday the 8th morning sees a 7ft southeast swell with light westerly wind, clean and good, wave energy 977 – another good one for advanced surfers. The rest of the week drops off. Thursday the 9th offers a 5ft southeast swell with offshore wind, good quality, but energy drops to moderate (515). Friday the 10th is similar, smaller again with gentle offshores.
The second week is much quieter. Saturday the 11th starts small, and there’s a real lull from Sunday the 12th through to about Wednesday the 15th – mostly tiny or blown out junk. Not worth the paddle. Then Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are still poor, with fresh to strong winds and only small leftover swell.
But then: Saturday the 18th morning looks like a monster – a 10ft south swell, 11-second period, gentle westerly cross-off, and very strong energy (2213). That’s going to be huge and powerful, and the afternoon jumps to 13ft from the south-southeast. For the experts only. It’s a long-range call, so we’ll keep an eye on it, but that Saturday is shaping as another true standout if it comes together.
So the two best windows are Tuesday the 7th morning and Saturday the 18th morning – both are big, clean, and for experienced surfers only. Crowds are likely, especially at Narrabeen-South.
Signing off – Rusty.

Information about the Narrabeen-South Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Narrabeen-South provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Narrabeen-South can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Narrabeen-South 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-South) 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-South 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.
Narrabeen-South is 3 km (2 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
