Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of days are a write-off. Saturday morning at Curl Curl Point has a tiny 2ft south swell, but it’s messy with a cross-offshore breeze and low energy (104). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Saturday afternoon goes even worse, and Sunday is a total no-go with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy chop. Monday morning, September 7th, is where it finally turns on.

That Monday morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a clean 6ft south swell – that’s a solid size for intermediates, maybe a bit much for beginners – with a light offshore northwest wind at just 3 mph. The wave energy jumps to 432 (moderate), and the period is 8 seconds, so it’s not a long-period groundswell, but it’ll be clean and punchy. The water temp is 64°, pretty normal for this time of year. The south swell lines up with the optimum direction for this exposed point. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Monday afternoon gets blown out by an easterly cross-on, so don’t sleep in.

Tuesday the 8th sees the swell pump up to 8ft from the south, with energy hitting 1295 in the morning and 1722 in the afternoon (strong, very strong). That’s expert territory – too big for most. The wind is cross-on or onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, challenging beast. Only for the brave.

We hit another nice window on Saturday the 12th. Morning glass-off with an east-northeast breeze at just 3 mph, a clean 5ft south swell, and energy of 582 (moderate). The period is 10 seconds, so some decent shape. This is a good one for intermediates who want clean, fun waves without the Monday crowd pressure. The water is still around 64°.

Sunday the 13th morning is also glassy with a southwest 3 mph wind, a 4ft south swell, and a long 12-second period (groundswell). That’s a good point break wave – it’ll peel nicely, but the long period can make it a bit straight at times. Energy is 364 (moderate). Clean, mellow, maybe a bit inconsistent.

Looking further out, the second week has a couple of promising ones. Saturday the 19th morning: a clean 5ft south swell with a 12-second period, cross-offshore north-northeast wind, energy of 564 (moderate). Glassy. Sunday the 20th morning is a dead-cert glass-off with 3 mph east wind, 5ft south swell, and 11-second period, energy 507 (moderate). Both are worth pencilling in, but it’s long-range – forecasts can shift.

The 16th into the 17th sees another big pulse of 10ft south swell, but with onshore winds, it’s only for experts and even then, it’ll be ugly.

So overall: the best bet is Monday morning September 7th for clean, punchy waves, and Saturday September 12th morning for a glassy, user-friendly session. The 19th and 20th mornings look promising, but keep an eye on the wind.

Rusty.
