Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the table for Curl Curl Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some gems hidden in there if you’re keen to pick your moments.

We kick off this Sunday the 19th with some messy ENE swell around the 7 ft mark, but it’s onshore SE winds making for marginal conditions – not what we’re after. By Monday morning the 20th, we get a cleaner picture as a light W breeze goes cross-offshore on that 6 ft ENE groundswell (11 seconds). That’s actually looking good, with the setup holding moderate wave energy. Tuesday the 21st morning keeps it sweet too: lighter N winds, same cross-offshore direction, with 5 ft ENE swell. It’s not huge, but it’s clean.

The real standout for the first week though has to be Wednesday the 22nd afternoon. We’ve got an ENE swell dropping to 4 ft, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm, off the ENE at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets here. The swell is a little smaller but with period around 9 seconds it’ll still line up nice on the point.

Moving into the second week, we start seeing some S swell pulses. Friday the 24th morning offers a clean 5 ft S swell with light WSW wind, good energy, and looks solid. Then Saturday the 25th morning brings a very clean 4 ft S swell with 11-second period and light W wind – that's a good bet for a fun session.

By Tuesday the 29th, we get a proper run of offshore winds – NW, then WNW, making for clean conditions. Wednesday afternoon the 29th is particularly interesting: 6 ft S swell, period 9 sec, WNW wind at a moderate 12 mph blowing straight offshore. That’s one to circle.

But then we roll into the end of July and start of August. Thursday the 30th afternoon sees a jump in energy with 6 ft S swell and 11-second period – but winds from WSW are cross-offshore and still clean. The problem is the swell is building. By Friday the 31st morning we’ve got 8 ft S groundswell with a 12-second period – that’s proper size, expert territory – but the wind is cross-shore from the SW at 19 mph, creating lumpy conditions and making it messy. Saturday the 1st of August is even bigger: 10 ft S swell but with moderately strong cross-shore wind and chop. Not beginner friendly, not clean, and honestly starts looking more like a kite session than a paddle session.

Overall, your best windows are Monday the 20th morning, Tuesday the 21st morning, Wednesday the 22nd afternoon with that glassy calm, and Wednesday the 29th afternoon with solid offshore conditions. If you’re patient, those will deliver.
