The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on what’s coming up for Curl Curl Point. Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start, but we’ve got a few windows that’ll get the blood pumping.
Right now, the water's sitting at 64°F, which is about bang on average for this time of year, so no worries on that front.
The first few days are pretty average. Tuesday the 4th has tiny waves – 1ft of SE swell with a light cross-off breeze, but it’s just not doing much. Wednesday and Thursday are similar with small, weak swell and poor conditions. Friday the 7th morning shows a bit of life with 3ft S swell and a clean cross-off wind, but it’s still underwhelming. The combined energy never gets much above 200 (weak to moderate), so it’s a real struggle to get excited.
The real standout is shaping up for Friday the 14th morning. We’ve got 6ft of S swell, a 12-second period, and a light WSW cross-off breeze at 6 mph. The combined energy hits 888 (strong), and the swell direction is bang on the optimum SE. This is proper groundswell with decent energy and clean lines, perfect for a point break like this. Keep in mind the northwesterly wind is offshore here, so it’ll be glassy and sweet. This is the pick of the forecast, and it’s a good one for intermediate surfers.
Thursday the 13th morning is also worth a mention with 4ft of SSW swell and a clean cross-off breeze, but it’s a shorter 7-second period, so it’s a bit weaker. Still, the energy is moderate (243) and it’ll be rideable.
The following week drops off again. Saturday the 15th has some weirdness with a 21-second period swell on the afternoon, but it’s an onshore ESE wind and the swell is just 3ft – that long period can make things tricky at beach breaks, but this is a point, so it might hold up. The energy is high (772), but conditions are questionable. Sunday the 16th and beyond are mostly small, choppy, and not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: if you can wait, Friday the 14th morning is where it’s at. Everything else is a bit of a bust.

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.
