The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Curl Curl Point over the next couple of weeks. The water’s sittin’ at 64°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – nothin’ to write home about.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first proper chance to paddle out shapes up on Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning brings a solid 12ft south swell, but it’s blowin’ a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, which is gonna leave it lumpy and messy. That’s a whole lot of energy – 2553 (moderate to strong) – but the wind’s just not playing ball, so it’s more for the experienced crew if anyone’s game. The afternoon stays similar, just crossed-up.
Thursday the 17th is a little cleaner in the morning with a 8ft south swell, 9 mph cross-shore, and a gentler feel. Energy’s still decent at 1321 (moderate). It’s marginal though – you might find a few but don’t expect perfection. There’s still some lumpiness.
Now, here’s the standout. Friday the 18th of September. The morning has a 5ft south swell, a slight 3 mph north breeze blowin’ cross-off, and it’s clean as a whistle. The energy’s 497 (moderate) and the setup is pure glass. That’s your window. Crowds are often a thing here, so get in early. The swell’s a bit over 5ft, so it’s not for total beginners, but the quality is the best we’ll see.
Saturday the 19th still has some cleanish waves in the morning – 3ft south swell, 9 mph cross-off – but it’s taperin’ off. Energy’s down to 257. The rest of the outlook gets rough. From Sunday the 20th through the whole second week, we’ve got a mix of onshore winds, cross-onshore slop, and lumpy conditions. Most mornings and afternoons are either poor or just marginal at best. There’s a brief look on the morning of the 26th of September with 6ft northeast swell and light winds, but it’s cross-shore and rain’s about. The energy’s 634 (moderate) but it’s not gonna be a classic.
To be honest, after Friday the 18th, it’s a long stretch of ordinary surf until you get to the very end of the month, and even then it’s pretty average. Stick with that Friday morning if you can.
Rusty out.

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.
