The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on the menu for Curl Curl Point. The forecast period kicks off now and runs for 16 days, but we've got a pretty rough start. The first couple of sessions are basically a write-off with messy, poor surf, so we're looking at a few days of nothing much at all before anything worthwhile shows up. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a good couple of degrees colder than we'd expect for this time of year – feels like winter's hanging on a bit.
Alright, the first actual glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Monday the 18th of September. We've got a solid 5ft groundswell hitting from the south with a decent 9-second period, and the real star of the show is the wind – it's glassy, dead still. That morning session is going to be clean, with the point offering up some proper shape. The combined swell energy is moderate at 450. A bit of a standout in a week of otherwise average conditions.
The morning of the 22nd of September is worth a mention, looks promising but it's a week and a bit away so take it with a grain of salt. We're looking at a 4ft south swell with a nice long 12-second period pushing through. That's groundswell energy, and it'll offer some good lines. It's a cross-shore breeze though, so not glassy, but with that period it could be proper. Combined energy is strong at 1213. Good for an intermediate surfer but not too big for a beginner.
For the rest of the second week, it's mostly a mixed bag of cross-shore winds and onshore slop, with nothing really firing. The 25th of September morning has some cross-off wind with a 6ft north-easterly swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit soft and lumpy. Not a standout.
Honestly, if you're keen, your best bet is that glassy Monday morning on the 18th of September. It's not huge, but it's clean, and at Curl Curl Point under a glassy sky, that's where the magic lives. The rest is mostly a waiting game. Crowds can be an issue at the Point on the good days – expect a crew if the conditions line up.

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.
