The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty again, talkin' in feet and miles now. Same stretch—Curl Curl Point. Water temp's about 64°F, right on average.
First couple days are garbage. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th—cross-onshore slop, just forget it. Swell energy is low to moderate.
Friday morning the 28th finally shows up. Clean 6ft south-southeast swell, light cross-offshore breeze, 11-second period. Energy reading 733—moderate but solid. That's the first real window.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are up and down. Saturday's marginal with rain. Sunday morning the 30th goes glassy with 4ft south swell, 9 seconds, energy 307. Small but clean.
Monday the 31st is flat but weird—dead calm, 2ft south swell with a 15-second period. That's long-period groundswell, tiny but could wrap around the point. Energy 316.
Tuesday the 1st through Wednesday the 2nd of September: 2 to 3ft, offshore but weak. Then Thursday the 3rd has a 19-second period again—only 2ft, but that's a proper groundswell pulse. Energy 315.
Second week brings the meat. Monday the 7th of September: 8ft south swell, 11 seconds, huge energy at 1628. But winds are strong cross-offshore, conditions marginal—expert only.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning is prime: 5ft south swell, 12 seconds, light offshore from the northwest, glassy. Energy 751. That's a top pick.
Thursday the 10th of September morning: 6ft south swell, 11 seconds, light west-northwest offshore, clean. Energy 730. Another beauty.
Crowds are often, so beat the pack. Best days: Friday the 28th, Tuesday the 8th, Thursday the 10th.
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.
