The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the goods on what's shaping up for our local stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, let's be real for a sec. The start of this run is a bit of a slow burner. We've got a little bit of swell around, but the wind and tide are making it a struggle to get anything clean. For the first couple of days, it's a wait-and-watch situation. But then, things really start to click into place.
The standout period for a solid, clean session is definitely Sunday the 30th of August . Get up early for Curl Curl Point. The morning's looking clear with a light 3 mph offshore breeze from the NW, setting up a clean, glassy surface. There'll be a 3 ft swell rolling in from the S, and while the combined energy is sitting at 247 (moderate), it's the right direction for this point. This is your best bet for the first week – a proper, fun morning out.
Monday the 31st has a bit of a sneaky angle too. The morning session at Curl Curl Point will see a very clean 2 ft S swell with a ridiculously long 15-second period. That's proper groundswell energy (309 combined), and it'll be an absolute dream for the point. The only thing to keep in mind with that long period is that it can sometimes be a bit tricky on the sets, but for a point break, it's a treat and makes paddling out a breeze.
The middle of the week (Tuesday 1st through to Friday 4th) is more of a small-wave affair. The wind patterns are mostly good (offshore or cross-off), keeping the surface clean, but the swell just doesn't have the size. We're looking at 1 ft to 3 ft from the S to SSE. It's ridable, especially for the longboarders, but it's not going to set the world on fire. The energy drops from moderate to weak (down to 47 combined by Thursday afternoon).
Then we hit the first weekend of September, and it's a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 5th stays small, and Sunday the 6th brings a 4 ft NE windswell with a short 7-second period and a fresh 19 mph WNW breeze. The energy is still weak (140 combined), and the quality is poor. It's a good day to tune the wax.
The big news, and the real highlight of the entire forecast, is building for the second week. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Tuesday the 8th of September starts to fire up. The morning is a bit messy, but the afternoon at Curl Curl Point is where it's at. We're looking at a solid 13 ft S swell, with a 11-second period. The combined energy is a massive 4082 – that's serious, powerful stuff. The wind goes light and variable from the W, making it cross-off and clean. This is excellent, big-wave territory, strictly for experienced surfers only. This is a massive, powerful groundswell event.
The energy stays high into Wednesday the 9th (8 ft to 10 ft, SSE), but the wind picks up. By Thursday the 10th, the wind becomes a problem, and the surf quality drops right off despite the size. Friday the 11th sees a cleaner drop in size to 5 ft from the SSE, with a 9 mph WNW cross-off wind, making for a very good morning session (energy at 556). The weekend from the 12th onwards is a slow fade back to small, clean conditions.
So, to wrap it up: the first week has a few clean, fun mornings, with Sunday the 30th being the pick. The second week has a massive, powerful, and potentially epic swell on Tuesday the 8th of September. Keep your eyes on the forecast for that one.
Signing off, Rusty.

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.
