South Narrabeen surf guide

South Narrabeen is a popular surf spot located on the northern beaches of Sydney, Australia. This stretch of sand typically features less crowded waves, making it a more laid-back option for surfers. With a long crescent shape, there’s plenty of room to set up and catch some fun waves. It’s a spot that can cater to surfers looking for a nice session without a packed lineup.

The surf at South Narrabeen can be pretty quick, so be ready for some fast waves. Most of the time, you'll find beach breaks offering both left and right waves. The best wind for surfing here comes from the SouthWest, and it handles swell sizes from around 2ft (0.6 meters) up to a good range. The ideal swell direction is Southeast, but it can also pick up swells coming from the Northeast and South. For the best experience, try to surf around low, mid, or high tide—it's a pretty versatile spot. Just keep in mind that this is more suited for intermediate surfers, so it might not be the best choice if you’re just starting out.

When looking for a place to park, you can find spots at the end of various dead-end streets or in car parks near the Waterloo Street shops. This makes access to the beach pretty straightforward. If you're hunting for that occasional tube ride, just hold out for those straight-handers that sometimes show up, especially when conditions align well.
