North Narrabeen surf guide

North Narrabeen is a popular surf spot located in Sydney, Australia. It's known for its reliable waves and can get pretty crowded, so be prepared to share the water with other surfers. The spot is pretty iconic among locals and has a mix of old-school legends and newer pros who often call it home. The vibe can be competitive, especially when the surf is firing, but it's a place where many surfers enjoy their time in the water.

The waves at North Narrabeen are mostly long lefts and shorter rights that can work well when the swells are coming from the NorthEast (around 1.5m to 2m). The break works over sand, making it a beach break that can handle swells from different directions, including NorthEast and South. The conditions are best when the wind is coming from the NorthWest, and it can be surfed at low, mid, and high tides. It's an intermediate level spot, so make sure you're comfortable with your skills, particularly when the waves are bigger and more packed.

While the main break here can be competitive, you might find some quieter waves if you walk south along the beach. Just keep in mind that the quality there might be lower, but it's an option if you want to escape the crowd a bit. Overall, North Narrabeen is a place where you can catch some great waves, but it requires a bit of respect for the lineup and the surfers around you.
