Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first decent window we're looking at is Thursday morning, July 30th, at Curl Curl Point. The swell is a solid 7 ft out of the south with a 9-second period, which is a bit of a short-interval wind swell. The energy is moderate (687), and the water temp is sitting at a normal 65°. The 9 mph SW wind is putting a bit of a cross-chop on it, so it's not going to be pristine. The tide might be a factor too, making it a bit average. The afternoon drops off in quality, so that morning session is your best bet for the day.

Friday morning, July 31st, actually sees a jump in size to 7 ft from the south, with a 10-second period, giving it a significantly stronger energy punch at 1449. The wind is still cross-shore from the SW, so there's a bit of chop, but it's surfable. The tide might still be a bit tricky though. Then we get to Saturday morning, August 1st. The swell drops to 5 ft from the SSE, still a 9-second period, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the WSW. That’s a proper clean-up. The energy is mild (399), but for a point break, clean conditions and a decent 5 ft south swell will have some fun lines. It’s a solid option for a relaxed session.

Now, here’s the standout. Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’ve got 6 ft of SSE swell, but the period jumps up to 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (902), and the wind is a clean, light offshore from the north. This is going to be glassy. The long period means the waves will have good shape and power, though at a beachy point like this, it might wall up a bit. But with that wind, it’s the best of the window. It’s a point break, so crowds are often a thing here, but for that quality, you’ll want to be out there.

Monday morning, August 3rd, is still clean with a 3 ft SE swell (11 seconds), but it’s much smaller and the energy is weak (239). A fun little board-changer, but nothing to get too excited about.

After that, we hit a serious lull. From Tuesday, August 4th through to Friday, August 7th, the swell drops right out, with tiny 1.0 ft to 4 ft slop and poor winds. That’s a solid four-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.

Things try to pick up again on Saturday, August 8th morning. The swell is back to 5 ft from the south with an 8-second period, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WSW. The energy is moderate (580) and the forecast says it could be very good. It’s a decent option after the dry spell.

We get another small window on Monday, August 10th afternoon. The swell is 5 ft from the ESE, but with a 12-second period. The wind is a fresh offshore from the WNW at 19 mph, which is strong but clean. The energy is strong (632). It’s a bit of a wildcard with that much wind, but it could be clean and fun if you handle the paddle.

The last real highlight is a week further out, on Friday, August 14th morning. The swell is back up to 6 ft from the south with an 8-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WSW. That’s a clean setup with moderate energy (628). It’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising one, but not a dead cert.

So, overall, the standout is Sunday morning, August 2nd. That’s the one. The clean offshore wind, groundswell from the SSE, and solid 6 ft size at Curl Curl Point. It’s the pick of the forecast. The Saturday morning, August 1st, and the Saturday morning, August 8th, are your next best quiet options. The rest is a mix of average conditions and long gaps, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

Rusty.
