The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on what’s shaping up for the next couple weeks at Curl Curl Point. We’ve got a mix of clean windows and some wild, raw energy coming through, so let’s break it down.
The water’s sitting at a fairly normal 64°F for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.
We kick off on Friday, September 11 with a solid start. Morning session sees a steady 6ft southerly swell at a nice 10 seconds coming with a light cross-offshore breeze. Combined energy is sitting at 660 – that’s moderate, but the quality is clean. It’s a good one to get out for before the wind swings onshore in the arvo. Afternoon gets messy with an onshore easterly, so make the most of the morning.
Saturday, September 12 is the real standout of the first week. The morning is absolutely glassy – dead calm, 0 mph wind from the north. Swell drops a touch to 4ft from the south, but the period extends to 12 seconds, giving it a bit more grunt. Combined energy is 621. This is primo, clean surf. Get on it early. The afternoon though… the wind swings to a cross-on easterly at 12 mph and chops the place up.
Sunday, September 13 and Monday, September 14 see the swell dropping away. Sunday morning is light cross-shore with 3ft south swell, but it’s marginal. Monday is smaller again, 2ft and 2ft, with cross-off winds keeping things clean but very small. Not much to get excited about.
Then Tuesday, September 15 and Wednesday, September 16 get ugly. Tuesday is tiny and weak, with combined energy barely hitting 72 – a flat day. Wednesday the 16th though… a big pulse of 12ft southerly swell rolls in, but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-onshore southerly at 19 mph. Combined energy is a massive 2289 – that’s strong energy – but the wind is destroying any chance of quality. This one’s for experts only, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session. Arvo is still big at 8ft with the same wind issue.
Thursday, September 17 drops back to 6ft with light cross-onshore winds, but it’s still a bit bumpy and only marginal. Friday, September 18 morning cleans up nicely: 4ft south swell, light cross-offshore from the NNE, combined energy 371, and clean conditions. Worth a look.
Now we hit a lull. Saturday, September 19 through to Tuesday, September 22 sees tiny swells, mostly under 3ft, with occasional light offshore winds but very minimal energy. Surfable but ordinary.
Tuesday, September 22 morning brings a little pulse: 3ft from the south, period 11 seconds, combined energy 218, and a light cross-offshore northerly. Clean again. Good for a fun little session.
Wednesday, September 23 gets interesting later in the day. Morning is small and weak, but the arvo sees a 7ft southerly swell push through, combined energy 823, with light cross-onshore winds. Marginal due to the wind direction, but there’s energy.
Thursday, September 24 is similar: 5ft south swell, moderate cross-shore winds, marginal.
Now – the second standout. Friday, September 25 morning is a beauty. We’ve got 4ft south swell, period 11 seconds, light cross-offshore from the NNE, combined energy at 506, and it’s clean. This one’s promising – the direction matches the southeasterly optimum, and conditions are tidy. Get on it.
Saturday, September 26 fades out with 4ft and light cross-on winds, marginal.
Overall, the two best windows are Saturday morning, September 12 for that glassy perfection, and Friday morning, September 25 for clean, lined-up sets. The big one on the 16th is for the brave only, and the wind will probably rob it of any real quality.
Tides will play a part, so time your sessions. Stay keen.

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.
