The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, but in feet and miles today.
We’re starting slow at Curl Curl Point, but there’s a golden morning coming, and then a big, powerful swell for the brave. Water temp is 64°F, dead normal for this time of year.
The one to circle on the calendar is Friday morning, August 28th. The swell is a clean 6 feet from the SSE with an 11-second groundswell period. That’s got proper energy behind it (combined energy of 727), and with the wind going glassy at 5 km/h from the west, the surface will be like a mirror. It’s a perfect match for this point. Don’t miss it.
Thursday the 27th afternoon is a dud with onshore wind from the SE at 10 km/h.
Saturday the 29th is only marginal. The morning has 4 feet from the SSE with a light cross-swell 10 km/h from the SW. Afternoon gets worse.
Sunday the 30th has a clean morning: 4 feet from the south, light 5 km/h cross-offshore west wind. Small but clean. Energy is moderate at 324.
Monday the 31st has a glassy morning with only 2 feet of south swell, but with a massive 17-second period. It’s very clean but small. The afternoon picks up to 4 feet from the south with a 16-second period, but the wind jumps to 20 km/h from the NE, spoiling it with a cross-chop. Energy is high at 838. The morning is the only window and it’s for the patient surfer.
Tuesday the 1st of September is clean: 3 feet south swell, 11-second period, with a 15 km/h north cross-offshore. Fun, but not a standout.
From Wednesday the 2nd to Saturday the 6th of September, it’s flat. Wave heights drop to 1 feet or less, energy is weak. Expect a long run of nothing worth getting wet for.
Then Monday the 7th of September hits. This is 12 feet of south swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2553 in the morning and 3849 in the afternoon. That’s huge. Over 8 feet, so it’s for experts only. It’s clean with a 30 km/h west-northwest cross-offshore wind, but at this size on the point, it’s a serious, dangerous wave.
Tuesday the 8th still has 8 feet from the south with a light cross-onshore wind. Still heavy, but coming down.
From Wednesday the 9th it drops off with onshore winds spoiling the shape. By Friday the 11th, it’s 3 feet from the south with a 20-second period and energy of 670. That’s a very long period swell, but small and with a light cross-onshore breeze. More of a curiosity than a proper session.
Best on offer: The absolute standout is Friday morning, August 28th – glassy, 6 feet, great energy, perfect conditions. The huge swell on Monday the 7th is a close second, but only if you’ve got the skill and the nerve.
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.
