After an entertaining first 3 days of competition at Narrabeen Beach, what does the rest of the competition period look like for the Sydney Surf Pro.

Sunday will see similar conditions and surf to today, not perfect nor pretty but good sized surf for the competitors, and cloudy skies and showers for spectators. So, if you want to come down to the beach and see some of the competition, pack an umbrella and rain layer!

Monday could be the first day the competition organisers decide to hold off and take a lay day as a strengthening southerly wind moves into the exposed North Narrabeen beach section, creating some ugly ocean surfaces. However, early southwesterly winds in the morning could provide a window of opportunity for competitors to show off before the arrival of the wind. Monday’s southwest, tending southerly winds will help clear out showers during the day, leading to a finer and drier period of days into the working week. 

Weather forecast for Narrabeen over the next week, with rain and showers over the coming days becoming less of a chance over the mid-week period.

As Tuesday and Wednesday come around, we should see much drier periods across Sydney, along with cleaner surf likely to make for a couple good days of competition, especially in the morning offshore winds. The surf size will be down a touch or two from this weekend, but the conditions will make up for this (both for the competitors, and the spectators with less chance of showers).

Organisers will be desperate to finish the competition before the final day of the contest period on Thursday, with the various swell in the water easing and the surf likely to be too small and unworthy of competition.
