The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Curl Curl Point over the next couple weeks. We got some real clean opportunities early, then a rough patch of wind and oversized slop, and a few more chances later on. Here’s the deal.
This Saturday morning, September 12th, is the one to circle. There’s a 4 ft south swell, 12-second period, glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph. Water temp is 64°F, right on average. Combined energy is 621 (moderate wave energy). That’s a proper point break setup—clean, lined up, and the swell direction is spot on for optimum. Crowds are likely, so paddle out early.
Sunday morning the 13th is still decent—3 ft south swell, 11 seconds, cross-off wind from the NNE at 9 mph. Clean but smaller. Energy drops to 248. Worth a go if you missed Saturday.
Monday the 14th morning keeps the trend: 2 ft south swell, cross-off wind, clean but small. Energy is 276.
Then things turn sideways. From Monday afternoon through to the end of the week, onshore winds take over. A big south pulse hits Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th—12 ft to 15 ft, combined energy values of 1901 and 4108 (strong to very strong wave energy), but it’s hammered by strong onshores. For a point break, that’s a mess—big, lumpy, and blown out. More interesting for kites than surfboards.
Friday the 18th morning is the comeback. The swell cleans up to 5 ft from the ESE, 11-second period, with a light offshore NW breeze at 3 mph. Combined energy of 871 (moderate to strong). Clean groundswell lines and the direction matches the optimum. This is a gem after the midweek drama. Crowds will be thick, but it’s worth it.
Saturday the 19th morning is another good one—5 ft ESE swell, glassy conditions, offshore NW wind. Energy at 573. Clean and lined up.
From Sunday the 20th onward, the swell drops hard: 2 ft or less, weak energy below 100 for most of it, and the wind isn’t friendly. A small window on Wednesday the 23rd morning—5 ft south swell, 10 seconds, cross-off NNE breeze, clean with energy at 572—worth a look if you’re keen.
Thursday the 24th afternoon offers a tiny chance: 3 ft south swell, 12-second period, light offshore from the NNW, clean and 268 energy. Small but smooth.
After that, it’s mostly onshore chop or dribble right through to the 27th. Nothing exciting.
If I’m picking the two best sessions: Saturday morning the 12th and Friday morning the 18th. Best blend of size, clean wind, and proper swell direction for the point.
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.
