The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what the surf’s doing at Curl Curl Point for the next couple of weeks.
Tuesday morning starts off with a cross-off W wind at 15 km/h and a small 4ft swell from the SW, period around 7 seconds. The combined energy is only 208 – pretty weak, just a marginal start. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. But Tuesday afternoon is the real gem: the wind goes light offshore from the WNW, swell jumps to a clean 6ft from the S with an 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 792. That’s your standout – glassy, solid groundswell, perfect for the point. Crowds are often here, so get down early.
Wednesday morning gets a bit gusty with a 25 km/h W wind, but the swell holds at 4ft from the S, period 10 seconds, energy 311 – still surfable. Wednesday afternoon cleans up with a light WSW cross-off breeze, swell 3ft from the S at 9 seconds, energy 216. Thursday morning has a 5ft S swell with an 8-second period and a cross wind, making for a slight chop. Thursday afternoon is a write-off with onshore SE wind. Friday morning is clean again with light WSW cross-off, 4ft S swell, 9 seconds, energy 211 – a decent session.
Then it gets ugly. From Friday afternoon until Monday, August 26th, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the SE or SSE. Swell sizes run from 4ft up to 7ft, but periods are short (7–8 seconds) and the combined energy gets as high as 846 – all blown-out and messy. The surf quality is poor, and that kind of setup is more for kite surfing than paddling.
There’s a long gap of poor conditions. The only other interesting moment is the morning of Monday, August 26th: a 8ft SE swell with an 8-second period, cross-off wind from the NNW, and a massive combined energy of 1330. That’s strong energy, but it’s far out and the swell direction isn’t the ideal S, so it’s promising but not guaranteed.
Best call: Tuesday afternoon, August 11th – 6ft S groundswell, 11-second period, offshore wind, 792 energy. That’s the one to chase.
Rusty.

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.
