Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag at Curl Curl Point. The first week of August is offering some tidy windows, but there’s a bit of a lull in the middle. The standout session is the Sunday morning, August 2nd – that’s the one to clear your schedule for. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Saturday morning, August 1st – we’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period. The wind is a light W at 6 mph, coming cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 450. It’s not massive, but it’s a decent start to the weekend.

Sunday morning, August 2nd – this is the pick of the entire forecast. Swell bumps up to 5 ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to 13 seconds, bringing some real punch. The wind is light N at 6 mph, cross-off, so it’s gonna be glassy. The combined energy is strong at 1012. This is a proper groundswell with period over 11 seconds, so the point will be reeling off clean lines. It’s an intermediate spot, but with that energy, more experienced surfers will be grinning. Crowds are often, so get there early.

Monday morning, August 3rd – the swell drops to 3 ft from the SE, 11-second period, with a gentle NW offshore at 9 mph. Combined energy is moderate at 282. It’s clean, but a bit smaller. Still a fun option if you’re keen.

Tuesday through Thursday, August 4th to 6th – Tuesday morning is a dud, with tiny 0.7 ft E swell. Wednesday morning has a small 2 ft S swell but the wind is a strong WSW at 16 mph, making it messy. Thursday morning, August 6th, we get a 5 ft S swell with a 9-second period, cross-off W wind at 6 mph, and combined energy of 391. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

Friday morning, August 7th – a 6 ft swell from the S, 9-second period, and light W wind at 3 mph, cross-off. Combined energy is 463. Clean, solid, but not the best of the window.

Saturday morning, August 8th – 5 ft from the S, 9-second period, and glassy conditions with a NW wind at 3 mph. Combined energy is 349. This is a real treat – the glassy wind will make for silky waves. Definitely worth a paddle.

From Sunday, August 9th through to Friday, August 14th, it’s mostly poor. Swells drop or get messy, with strong winds and cross-onshore slop. There’s a gap of about six days where it’s not worth your time. On Thursday, August 13th morning, the swell hits 8 ft from the S with a 9-second period, but the wind is a cross-shore SW at 12 mph, making it choppy and only for the experts. Combined energy is strong at 1928, but the conditions let it down.

Saturday, August 15th morning – this is a late wildcard. Swell is 3 ft from the S, but the period is a massive 21 seconds – very long groundswell. That’s a lot of energy for a small wave, but at a point break, it’ll draw in some beautiful lines. Wind is light NNW at 3 mph, cross-off, and clean. Combined energy is 1500. It’s promising, but being two weeks out, keep an eye on it.

Sunday, August 16th morning – 5 ft from the S, 14-second period, with a light E cross-on at 6 mph. Combined energy is strong at 1340. It’s a long-range signal, but the cross-on wind might put a wrinkle on it.

All up, the best on offer is Sunday morning, August 2nd – that 13-second groundswell with offshore wind is the one to chase. The Saturday morning, August 8th glassy session is a close second. The rest of the two weeks is either small, messy, or too far out to pin down.
