Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water temp is sitting around 65°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year. Nothing weird there.

Alright, truth be told, the start of the outlook is a bit of a flat spell. The first real surf worth talking about doesn’t show up until Wednesday, July 15th. Before that, Monday and Tuesday are mostly a write-off with tiny, weak energy and poor conditions.

Wednesday morning, July 15th, things finally get moving at Curl Curl Point. We’re looking at a solid 8ft of S swell, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is pumping in at a strong 1793. The wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze, which isn’t perfect, but it’s rideable. The morning is the better part of the day, as the afternoon turns onshore and gets messy. The size is pushing into expert territory, so this one is for the experienced crew.

Thursday, July 16th, still has some size, 7ft S swell, but the wind is a cross-shore and the period drops to 9 seconds. The energy is still solid at 1116, but the wind makes it a bit of a battle. It’s a marginal call.

The weekend is a bit of a letdown. Friday through Sunday, the swell drops and the wind is either cross-on or straight onshore, making for choppy, poor surf. The energy is weak, and the conditions are just not cooperating.

Now, Monday, July 20th is a real glimmer. Curl Curl Point gets a glassy morning with a 4ft ENE swell at 9 seconds. The energy is a moderate 357, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. That’s the best looking window of the entire first week. Clean, fun, and manageable. Crowds are likely at this spot, so get in early.

The middle of the week after that is pretty ordinary, with small waves and mostly cross-onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about.

The real standout, the one I’ve got my eye on, is Sunday, July 26th. We’re looking at a 7ft S swell rolling in with a morning offshore wind from the NW. The energy is 452, and the wind is moderate offshore, meaning clean, lined-up waves. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be a long rolling groundswell, but it will be punchy. The afternoon gets a bit strong with a 30 km/h cross-off wind, but the swell bumps up to 8ft. That’s big, expert-only territory with a fresh breeze. This is the best overall swell of the window, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

Monday, July 27th keeps the size with a 8ft S swell and a clean cross-off wind, but the energy is still high. Again, this is for the experienced surfer.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a slow start with a decent window on Monday, July 20th. The second week has a legit, powerful pulse around July 26th and 27th, but it’s big. No real kite-surfing opportunities here, as the beach setup isn’t the main draw.

Rusty.
