Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Curly over the next couple of weeks.

The next few days are pretty grim, to be honest. A weak little NE windswell with poor conditions. Not worth paddling out for.

Saturday the 4th is where things start to get interesting. Saturday morning sees a new S swell pushing in at 4 feet, with a 12-second period, which is proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 424, and with a light W breeze of 6 mph blowing cross-off, the face will be clean. Curl Curl Point (Sydney) will be your best bet Saturday morning. The water’s sitting around 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. This is the standout session of the first week – small but clean, and a good chance for a nice wave.

Sunday the 5th gets big. The swell jumps to 10 feet from the south, with solid energy (2097), but the wind swings to a fresh SSW of 19 mph, blowing cross-shore. That’s going to be lumpy, messy, and pretty average. Not one for the average punter. The swell is over 8 feet, so experts only if you’re keen, but the quality is marginal. The beach-break setup with that wind and size might make it more appealing for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Monday and Tuesday (6th and 7th) are still big, with 8 feet to 7 feet swells, but the wind stays onshore or cross-on, so expect chopped-out, poor conditions. Not worth it.

Now, Wednesday the 8th morning is a real highlight. The swell drops a touch to 7 feet from the SE, period still a solid 10 seconds, and energy is moderate at 977. But the wind goes light W at 6 mph, cross-off, and it’s clean. Very good surf conditions. This could be the pick of the first week – solid shoulder-high waves with a glassy face.

Thursday the 9th morning hangs in there with 5 feet SE swell and a light WSW cross-off, clean again. Nice little session if you’re free. Friday 10th morning is similar but a little smaller at 4 feet.

After that, things drop right off. Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th are tiny – only 3 feet and 2 feet, very weak energy. It goes quiet for a few days.

Then, a big pulse is showing for Saturday the 18th of July. The morning has a 10-foot S swell, 11-second period, and combined energy of 2213 – that’s strong. Wind is a gentle WSW at 9 mph, cross-off, and the forecast says excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a standout for the second week. The afternoon shows a 13-foot SSE swell with 3400 energy, but the wind goes light ENE, and with that size, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at a beach break. Still, the morning session on the 18th is something to keep an eye on – promising, but it’s a good way out, so less certain.

So, to sum it up: Saturday 4th morning and Wednesday 8th morning are your two true standouts. The 8th is probably the best quality of the first week. For the second week, mark Saturday 18th morning as a potential big clean groundswell session, but don’t bank on it just yet.
