The Lowdown
Alright, grab your spring suit and listen up, it's Rusty here. We’re about to run through a lengthy sixteen-day stretch that starts quiet, shows a few proper bright spots, and then fades out again. Let’s not waste time.
The first week starts flat and frustrating. Tuesday and Wednesday, July 28th and 29th, are a write-off—tiny, messy energy, nothing worth paddling for. Thursday morning, July 30th, things begin to flicker with some 6ft S swell creeping in, but don't get too excited yet; the conditions are only rated as “good,” not perfect. By Friday morning, July 31st, we see a jump to a 6ft S swell at an 11-second period, but the wind is a cross-shore, and the combined energy is now moderate (818), making it a bit of a mixed bag—definitely not a beginner's day.
Now, a full standout appears Saturday morning, August 1st. The swell is a solid 5ft from the S, but the real magic is that clean cross-offshore breeze from the west. The combined energy is in the moderate range (507), and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." This is a session to look at. And keep your eye on Saturday afternoon the same day—the wind goes glassy with an ENE breeze, making the 5ft SSE swell look silky. But the next day, Sunday, August 2nd, is a proper highlight for the experienced crew: a pumping 6ft SSE swell with a very long 14-second period, pushing the combined energy up to a strong 1077. The morning has clean lines with that cross-offshore NNW breeze, making this the best on offer.
After that peak, Monday morning, August 3rd, drops off sharply to a smaller 3ft swell. The energy is weak (262), and the reading calls it "poor." The days that follow through to Sunday, August 9th, are a long, frustrating gap of small, short-period wind slop and choppy onshore winds, with energy values mostly in the double or low triple digits. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Thursday morning, August 6th, with a 4ft S swell (158 energy), but the 6-second period makes it incredibly weak and gutless.
We scrape the bottom of the barrel toward the end. The last notable offering is Tuesday morning, August 11th, with a tidy 4ft NE swell, a clean offshore NNW breeze, and a gentle 8-second period, keeping the energy a low 170. It’s surfable. After that, Wednesday morning, August 12th, blows out with a 19 mph WSW cross-offshore gale. It’s time to find a different hobby for the next week.
Curl Curl Point, being a point break, will handle some of that longer period swell on August 2nd nicely, though that very long period can make it wall up a bit. For a crowded spot like this, you'll want to be there early on Saturday morning, August 1st, when it's clean and the crowd is *likely* to be there.
So, bottom line: Saturday, August 1st through Sunday, August 2nd is your window. The pick is Sunday morning, August 2nd for the experienced surfer looking for proper power, but Saturday is the most well-rounded day for the intermediate crew. The rest of the outlook is a dud.
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.
