Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Curl Curl Point.

The next 16 days start off a bit flat. We’ve got a few days of tiny, weak surf – nothing worth paddling out for. The real action doesn’t kick in until the tail end of the first week. Let’s break it down.

Monday the 27th of July starts with a clean 4ft south swell, period around 9 seconds, and a light WSW cross-off breeze. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. That morning session is the pick of the first few days, but it’s not a standout. The afternoon turns messy with a NE cross-breeze and smaller swell.

Tuesday and Wednesday are all small, weak swells, with the odd bit of offshore wind but not enough size to get excited about. You’re looking at knee-high dribble at best.

Then Thursday the 30th of July – now we’re talking. A solid 8ft south swell rolls in with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 2153 (moderate to strong). The wind is WSW cross-off, keeping things clean. This is a big wave for the point, and at over 8ft, it’s strictly for experienced surfers only. The afternoon sees a shift to a SSE cross-on breeze, dropping the quality a notch.

Friday the 31st of July holds onto some size, with 8ft from the south and a 11-second period, offering better shape. The morning has a cross breeze, not perfect but workable. Combined energy is still solid at 1194. The afternoon turns choppy again.

Saturday the 1st of August drops a bit, to 5ft, and the wind stays cross or cross-on. It’s marginal, but if you’re keen, the morning isn’t a total write-off.

Sunday the 2nd of August is a real treat. A clean 4ft south-southeast swell, light NW offshore wind, and combined energy of 346. It’s a small, clean, fun size. This is a great morning for the intermediate crew. The swell period is 10 seconds, so it’ll have a bit of push. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Monday the 3rd of August is another clean morning, with 3ft from the SSE and a light NW offshore. Small but clean, good for a longboard or a funboard.

The following week gets a bit messy with a lot of onshore wind and rain. Tuesday the 4th of August morning is clean with 4ft south swell, but the afternoons turn choppy. Wednesday through to the weekend of the 8th and 9th of August is mostly blown out and lumpy, with moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds and rain showers. The swell sticks around 3ft to 6ft, but the quality is poor.

Now, a standout appears on Monday the 10th of August. The morning sees a clean 6ft swell from the east-northeast, with a light NNW cross-off breeze. Combined energy is a healthy 534. The swell period is 9 seconds, so it’s got some punch. This is a promising session with clean conditions.

Then Tuesday the 11th of August morning brings a big 8ft northeast swell, a 9-second period, and a strong WNW cross-off wind at 15 mph. Combined energy is a hefty 1581. This is another big swell, only for the experienced crew. The wind is offshore, keeping it clean, but the size is serious.

Overall, the best bet on offer is the Thursday the 30th of July morning for the big-wave chargers, and the Sunday the 2nd of August morning for the everyday surfer looking for clean, fun waves. The long-range Monday the 10th of August and Tuesday the 11th of August are promising but less certain – keep an eye on 'em.

Rusty.
