The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for Curl Curl Point.

The next 16 days are a real mixed bag. We’re starting off slow with some tiny, messy energy, but there’s a couple of windows where it all comes together for a proper session. You're gonna have to be patient and pick your moments.

Thursday the 3rd is a write-off. The swell is a measly 2ft from the south with only weak energy (92), and that cross-off wind is just not doing us any favours. Nothing to get excited about.

Friday the 4th morning is where it starts to get interesting. We’ve got a jump to 4ft south swell with a decent 11-second period, and the energy is moderate (409). The wind is cross-off and light, keeping things clean. This is a solid shout for a session. The afternoon though, forget about it – it drops off and gets cross-on and choppy.

Saturday the 5th is a day of two halves. The morning has some size but the wind is up, making it pretty average. The afternoon is smaller, but we get a clean offshore breeze from the northwest with the swell hanging around 2ft. It’s surfable, just very ordinary.

Now, mark your calendar for Monday the 7th morning. This is the standout of the first week. The wind is glassy – absolute zero – and we’ve got a clean 4ft south swell with a 10-second period and moderate energy (329). For a point break like Curly, that is as clean as it gets. If you’re free, get out there.

The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly a battle with onshore winds and lumpy conditions, though Monday the 7th afternoon is a write-off with onshore slop. Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th are all cross-on and choppy, not worth the paddle.

There is another glimmer on Friday the 11th morning. We’ve got a solid 5ft south-southeast swell with a nice 12-second period and moderate-to-strong energy (594). The wind is light and cross-off, so it will be clean. This is the best-looking swell of the whole run, but it’s a ways out, so keep an eye on it. The water temperature is pretty much where it should be for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

After that, the second week fades pretty hard. Saturday the 12th has a small, clean morning but it gets blown out by a strong nor'easter in the arvo. From Sunday the 13th onward, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak swells and strong winds, with barely any energy to speak of. There’s a strange little pulse on Thursday the 17th morning with 5ft south swell and moderate energy (433), but the wind is strong cross-off and the conditions are only marginal.

Overall, the best bets are Monday the 7th morning for glassy perfection, and Friday the 11th morning for the best swell size and quality. The rest is mostly a waiting game.

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.
