Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this stretch of coast. The standout spot over the next couple of weeks is Curl Curl Point. It’s a consistent point break that’s wide open to the southeast, so it handles a bit of size real well. Water’s sitting at 63°F, which is pretty average for this time of year – no surprises there.

The next few days are pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 25th has a messy 1.2m NE swell, but the period’s short at 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (209). A bit of light rain and a northerly wind don’t help. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are even worse – onshore winds and chopped-up conditions. Not worth paddling out.

But Friday morning the 28th is where it turns on. We’ve got a clean 1.6m SSE swell, period lifting to 11 seconds, so it’s proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (641), and with a light offshore wind from the west-southwest, it’s going to be glassy and clean. This is the best session of the early run. The swell direction isn’t the absolute optimum for the point, but it’ll still be fun for intermediate surfers.

The rest of that weekend into Monday is a bit up and down with light winds but some cross-onshore chop. Hold out for Monday morning the 31st. That’s another beauty – glassy conditions with a 1.3m S swell at 10 seconds, and moderate energy (600). It’ll be smooth and clean, perfect for a long session.

The first week of September looks smaller. Tuesday the 1st has some clean 1.1m SSE swell with offshore winds, but it’s not very powerful. Then it drops right off from Wednesday the 2nd, with tiny waves under 0.5m for a few days. There’s a gap of about three days where you’re better off doing something else.

Things pick up again on Saturday the 5th, with a 1.2m S swell, but the period’s short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. Sunday the 6th looks better with a 1.3m S swell and offshore winds, but the energy is still only moderate (256). The real standout in the second week is Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning is average, but the afternoon sees a 1.7m S swell with a 10-second period, solid offshore wind, and strong energy (675). That’s going to be pumping and clean, but it’s a long way out, so don’t book the day off just yet.

Overall, the best sessions are Friday morning the 28th, Monday morning the 31st, and the afternoon of Tuesday the 8th of September. The point should handle the size, but with a longer period groundswell, it might wall up a bit, which is great for experienced surfers. Beginners should stick to the smaller days, as anything over 1.5m gets a bit much.
