The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks for Curl Curl Point.
The opening stretch is a bit flat and uninspiring. Saturday the 8th has some waves, around 2ft from the south, but they’re pretty ordinary, and the energy is weak (121). Water temp is 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Not much to get excited about.
Sunday the 9th is a step up. The swell builds from 3ft to 4ft by the afternoon, coming from the east-northeast. Energy climbs to 211, and a light northerly breeze keeps it clean. That Sunday afternoon looks like the best bet for the first few days.
Monday the 10th gets bigger, hitting 7ft in the morning, but a strong northwest wind at 35 km/h makes it a battle. The energy is high (726), but it’s a tough paddle. It drops to 5ft by the afternoon, but the wind picks up. This is for experts only.
Tuesday and Wednesday drop off to nothing – just small, weak dribblers.
Then Thursday the 13th brings a proper pulse. The morning has 6ft from the south-southwest, and by the afternoon it’s a solid 8ft from the south with a 12-second period. The energy is massive – hitting 1946 by the afternoon. That’s serious groundswell, only for the very experienced. The wind is light but onshore in the arvo, so it’ll be lumpy. Friday morning the 14th is the pick – 5ft from the south, light west-southwest breeze, and good energy (450). That’s a great session.
The weekend gets messy. Saturday the 15th morning has small waves, but with a very long 23-second period. It’s clean and glassy, but tiny. Then the wind turns onshore, and the 16th is chopped up.
The 17th has a decent morning – 3ft from the south, 12-second period, and light cross-off winds. That’s another good window. But then it goes flat and choppy for the next few days.
The 22nd has a small bump – 5ft from the south-southeast early on, but it’s short period (8 seconds). It’s clean with light winds, but nothing special.
So, the standouts are Sunday afternoon the 9th for a clean, fun wave, and Friday morning the 14th for the bigger, better-shaped surf. The 13th afternoon is big and powerful, but only for the experts. Keep an eye on that 22nd morning, but don’t get your hopes up too much.
Mostly weak energy, but there are a couple of good pulses in there.
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.
