Narrow Neck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Narrow Neck has lined up for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch. We’re looking at a long, long run of poor conditions with nothing really worth paddling out for until late in the period, and even then it’s only marginal.

Right now, Thursday the 10th is a write-off. We've got a 7ft swell coming from the southeast, but that cross-onshore wind is howling at 22 mph, just ruining any chance of a wave. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

That sets the tone for the next week or so. From Friday the 11th right through to Saturday the 19th, it’s a desert. The swell drops off, the period is short, and the energy is weak – we’re talking combined energy values mostly below 100, sometimes barely hitting double digits. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, keeping the surface lumpy and chopped up. There’s simply no surf worth mentioning. That’s a solid week of flat, blown-out nothing.

We finally see a little flicker of life on Sunday the 20th. The morning brings a 4ft southeast swell with clean, offshore winds out of the north. The combined energy jumps to 182, which is moderate. It’s surfable, but the conditions are still described as just ordinary. Not a standout, just a small window of something rideable after all that flatness.

Monday the 21st morning is probably your best bet in the whole forecast. We get a 3ft swell from the southeast, but the period stretches out to 11 seconds, giving it a bit of groundswell punch. The combined energy is up at 262, and the wind is a clean offshore from the north. That long period will give the waves a bit of shape, but at a beach setup it might break a little straight. It’s the best on offer, but still only a marginal call.

After that, it fades again. The rest of the second week shows small, weak swells with clean but offshore winds, mostly keeping the sea flat with combined energy back under 100. Friday the 25th afternoon shows a 3ft east swell with a very long 12-second period and clean offshore winds, energy at 180, but it’s small and to be honest, we’re scraping the barrel by then.

If you’re absolutely desperate for a surf, the morning of Monday the 21st is the one to circle on your calendar. Otherwise, this is a blank run that’s going to test your patience.

Stay tuned, forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
