Narrow Neck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, with a look at what’s coming up for Narrow Neck.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid block of near-onesteady, cross-onshore winds and generally poor surf conditions from Saturday the 4th right through to the end of the first week. There’s a bit of swell running, with combined wave energy hitting moderate levels, but the wind is just ruining it. The wave shape will be choppy and messy, not what you want on a reef setup. If you’re a beginner, the swell stays mostly under 5 ft, so it’s not too big, but the quality just isn’t there. The break is consistent, which is a positive, but with crowds possible, it’s not gonna be worth the paddle.

We finally see a shift on Saturday the 11th of July, early morning. The wind drops right out – glassy conditions – and the swell is waist-to-shoulder high at about 3 ft with a 11-second period from the SE. The energy is weak, but that long period means cleaner lines and better shape. This is the standout moment across the whole outlook. It’s clean, it’s glassy, and you’ll have a chance at some fun, lined-up waves. This is your window.

After that, the swell fades quickly into the second week. From Sunday the 12th onwards, the swell drops to under 2 ft, with combined energy falling to very weak. The wind does go offshore or cross-offshore on a few mornings, and conditions look clean, but the waves are just too small for a proper session. Periods stay under 11 seconds, so it’s mostly weak windswell. There’s one marginal pickup on the morning of Friday the 18th with light offshore wind, but it’s only about 1 ft – not enough to get excited about.

Then, on Sunday the 19th of July, things look like they might start turning again. The morning shows a clean, cross-offshore wind with about 4 ft SE swell, 10-second period, and combined energy up to a solid moderate level. That’s a good return of energy, and it looks promising for a proper session to wrap up the weekend. But keep in mind this is far out, so treat it as a hopeful heads-up rather than a guarantee.

Overall: if you want to surf, your best bet is the morning of Saturday, July 11th. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and surfable. Beyond that, the second week is tiny and flat for the most part. The break is consistent, so it’s just waiting for the right conditions to line up again.
