Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Curl Curl Point are gonna test your patience. We’ve got a long, slow start, but there’s a real glimmer of decent surf waiting for us if you can hold out.

Right now, into Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, it’s flat as a pancake with tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft SSW swell – barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there, but you’re not missing anything. The combined swell energy is a weak 21 to 46, and the scores are zilch. This is a proper gap of nothing.

Wednesday the 15th morning sees a sudden jump to 8 ft of S swell, but the period is short at 10 seconds, and it’s coming straight onshore with a cross-shore wind. That’s a lot of energy – 2263 in the combined reading – but it’s a messy, choppy mess. This is big enough for intermediates to be careful, and the cross-chop will make it ugly. Afternoon drops to 6 ft but the wind swings cross-on, so it’s still poor. Thursday and Friday are more of the same – dropping wave heights, messy wind, and scores that say “don’t bother.”

Then, finally, we get a little reward. Sunday the 19th morning is the standout. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the ENE, and the wind is *glassy* – dead calm, slight air, just clean. The combined energy sits at 277, which is moderate, and the break is consistent. Crowds are likely here, so get in early. This is your window for a fun, clean session.

Monday the 20th morning is also worth a paddle – 4 ft of ENE swell with a light offshore NW wind, making for clean conditions. The energy is up to 395, and the score is solid. That’s two good mornings in a row.

After that, it’s a mixed bag. Wednesday the 22nd morning has another glassy moment with 3 ft ENE swell, but it’s small. Thursday the 23rd morning has 3 ft and offshore NW wind again, clean. The real wildcard is Thursday the 23rd afternoon – a tiny 2 ft wave but a 17-second period from the S, which is a very long groundswell. That kind of period at a point break like this can bring in some sneaky, lined-up waves, but it’s small and the wind is cross-shore. Not a standout, but interesting.

The very end of the period, Sunday the 26th, has 3 ft of 12-second E swell with a light offshore NW wind – clean, but small. Then Monday the 27th gets hammered by 25 mph winds, so that’s a write-off.

Overall, the best surf on offer is Sunday the 19th morning – that glassy, clean 4 ft ENE swell will be worth the wait. Don’t get your hopes up for the first week, but the second week has a few clean, surfable mornings if you’re keen.

Rusty.
