Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this sorted. The only game in town for the next couple of weeks is Curl Curl Point. It’s a consistent point break that’s exposed to the south-east swell, and it likes an offshore from the north-west. Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with Sunday and Monday morning looking pretty average. Sunday morning is cross and messy, not worth paddling out. Come Monday morning though, we get a bit of a window. The wind drops right out, goes glassy, and we’ve got a solid 5ft south swell with 8-second period. It’s not huge, but combined energy is moderate (297), and with that glassy surface, it’ll be clean. That’s a bright spot for the early week.

Tuesday morning is a different story. The swell jumps to 8ft from the south, period 9 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 1287. That’s strong wave energy. But the wind is cross-on and gusty, making it choppy and lumpy. At 8ft, we’re into expert-only territory, and with the wind wrecking it, it’s not the one to get excited about. Tuesday afternoon actually cleans up a bit with a light onshore, but the swell is still 8ft and the energy is still high (987). It’s borderline, but the wind is light, so if you’re an experienced surfer, there might be a window.

The real standout comes on Saturday the 12th. Saturday morning is looking like the pick of the forecast. We’ve got a clean 7ft south swell, 10-second period, combined energy of 990 (moderate-to-strong), and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. That’s going to produce some really nice, clean waves at the point. It’s a true highlight. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so get it while it’s good.

Sunday the 13th morning is also a solid option. Swell drops to 5ft from the south, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. Combined energy is 689. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. A point break like this will love that longer period, giving you proper lines.

After that, the swell tapers off. Monday the 14th morning has a 4ft south swell, 12-second period, and a light offshore from the north-west. Clean, but small. Combined energy is 402. It’s a fun little session if you’re on a log.

The following week, from the 15th onwards, things get smaller and less consistent. There’s a bump on Tuesday the 15th morning with 7ft south swell and 10-second period, but it’s onshore and messy. Combined energy is 1734 (very strong), but the wind kills it. Wednesday the 16th morning is clean with a 4ft south swell, 10-second period, and a light offshore – worth a look if you’re keen. By the 18th and 19th, the swell drops below 3ft, and the energy is weak. It’s pretty ordinary.

So, overall, the best on offer is Saturday morning, the 12th of September – glassy, solid 7ft south swell, clean as a whistle. The second best is Sunday morning, the 13th, for a slightly smaller but longer-period, clean session. Get out there early.
