Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at Curl Curl Point. This is a classic setup that’s exposed to the south swell, so when it lines up, it can be a gem. But we’ve got a bit of a slow start on our hands.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Sunday afternoon (23rd August) is a no-go with a messy 3ft south swell and a cross-shore wind kicking up chop. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We start to see some life on Monday morning (24th August). The swell is still small, about 3ft from the south, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The combined energy is on the low side (206) but it’s rideable and clean. It’s a good little window for a work-up session.

The first real standout comes on Tuesday morning (25th August). The swell bumps up to 5ft from the northeast, but it’s a short period windswell at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The wind is offshore, though, and the combined energy jumps to 365. That’s a solid moderate energy level. It’s not the prettiest wave, but it’s got push and it’s clean.

Now, if you’re looking for the best of the best, set your alarm for Thursday morning (27th August). The wind drops to glassy, the swell is a meaty 5ft from the south, and the combined energy is 415. This is proper groundswell energy, and the conditions are going to be as good as they get. The swell period is a bit short at 8 seconds, so it won’t be a long-lining groundswell, but with glassy conditions, Curl Curl Point will be offering up some very clean, fun waves. This is the session to aim for.

Friday morning (28th August) is another glassy gem, but the swell drops to 3ft. Still, with the wind off the land and a combined energy of 281, it’s a great option for a longboard or a funboard.

Into the second week, things get a bit more interesting. Monday morning (31st August) sees a very long-period swell arrive, 19 seconds from the south. The swell is tiny at 2ft, but that long period means it’ll be incredibly clean, glassy, and the energy reading is 455. It’s a tease, really – a whisper of what’s possible.

The real action picks up again on Tuesday morning (1st September). Glassy winds, 3ft south swell with a 14-second period, and combined energy of 443. That’s a classic Curl Curl Point setup. Clean, lined up, and just the right size. Then there’s a treat on Saturday morning (5th September) – a 5ft south-southwest windswell, but with a solid offshore wind from the northwest. The combined energy is 327. It’s a bit of a short period, but that offshore wind will make it look a lot better than it is.

And finally, Sunday morning (6th September) rounds out the good run: 4ft south swell, 12-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 473. That’s a solid, clean, high-energy session to finish on.

Overall, the standout is Thursday morning (27th August). The combination of glassy wind, a decent 5ft swell, and that moderate energy is going to be special. The second best would be Tuesday morning (1st September) or Sunday morning (6th September) – both are clean, solid, and well worth the paddle out. There are a few flat days in the middle of the second week, the 3rd and 4th of September, but the forecasts can change, so keep your eye on it.

Rusty out.
