The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happenin’ at Curl Curl Point. Water temp’s about normal for the season, so no surprises there.
The start is flat as a pancake. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th have barely a ripple – not worth wettin’ your wetsuit. Then Friday the 31st morning shows a clean 7ft south swell, but it’s a short 10-second period and the wind is cross, so the surface gets a bit messy. The energy is moderate (872). You can surf it, but you’ll be workin’ for the good ones.
Saturday the 1st of August morning is the first proper session. Clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with a light offshore breeze from the WSW. The energy is 421 – moderate – and the waves are clean. That’s a fun size for the intermediate surfer. The point’s got shape, and crowds are only “often,” so you’ll find your spot.
The absolute standout is Thursday the 6th of August. The mornin’ brings a clean 7ft south swell, 10-second period, with a light offshore wind from the WNW. Energy hits 985 – strong. The point is gonna be pumpin’ with nice lines. The afternoon jumps to 10ft from the south, 11-second period, and the energy skyrockets to 3417 – very strong. That’s big, heavy, and only for the experienced. Tide and wind could make it tricky, but if you’re skilled, it’s a day to remember.
The following days are solid too. Friday the 7th morning has a clean 7ft SSE swell (energy 829) with light offshore wind, and Saturday the 8th morning gives a clean 5ft SSE swell (energy 539). Both are excellent. Then the second week drops off – smaller, less consistent, with a few mornings of 3ft to 4ft that are clean but just average. The 12th of August Wednesday morning offers a 3ft SE swell (energy 311) with clean conditions, but it’s nothin’ special.
The best call is Thursday the 6th of August – both sessions. The morning is the pick for most, the afternoon is for the brave. Saturday the 1st and Friday the 7th mornings are also real good.
Rusty.

Information about the Curl Curl Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Curl Curl Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Curl Curl Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Curl Curl Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Curl Curl Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Curl Curl Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
