The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Curl Curl Point.
I gotta level with you, the first stretch is a real write-off. From Tuesday the 14th through Sunday the 19th, it’s just one rough day after another. The swell is pumping – we’re talking 8ft sets on Wednesday the 15th – but the wind is howling from the south and southeast at 15-30 mph, smashing everything up. The combined wave energy is massive, over 1200 in the water, but with that much cross-onshore chop, it’s a battle, not a pleasure. The water temp is 64°F, right on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Things finally turn around. Monday the 20th afternoon is your golden ticket. The wind drops to nothing – dead glassy – and we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period. The energy is a solid 676, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” For a point break, that’s as good as it gets. Just keep in mind, it gets crowded here often, so get your spot early.
After that, Thursday the 23rd morning is another cracker. You’re looking at 6ft from the E, with an 11-second period and light cross-offshore breeze. That’s got proper push (817 combined energy), and the longer period will draw out some nice lines. The afternoon goes sour with the wind, so it’s a dawn patrol mission.
If you’re planning ahead, Tuesday the 28th is looking promising. A 4ft to 4ft E swell, but with a long 13-second period and clean offshore NW winds in the morning. That’s a score. The energy is still decent at 671, and that long period means the point will be working nicely. Wednesday the 29th is smaller, around 3ft, but still clean.
So, here’s the call: the first week is a no-go. Your best bet is Monday the 20th afternoon for a glassy, clean session. The morning of Thursday the 23rd and Tuesday the 28th are your other standouts. Get on it.

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.
