Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way. We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, so let’s get straight into it.

Overall, we’re looking at a real mixed bag of conditions at Curl Curl Point. The next few days are pretty grim with onshore winds and messy swell, but the back half of the window starts to show some real promise. Be patient, because the good windows will be worth it.

We kick off with a small bit of hope on Sunday morning, the 13th of September. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the South with a solid 11-second period – that’s real groundswell energy. Winds are light cross-off from the NNE and it’s clear skies. The combined energy is sitting at 250 (moderate), and that South direction is spot on for this point. It’ll be a bit small, but really clean and fun for the longer boards. Water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about average for this time of year.

That window closes up fast, though. From Sunday afternoon through to Wednesday the 16th, it’s a write-off. Swell gets blown out by strong onshore winds, and that 13 ft monster on Wednesday afternoon is just a washing machine with the SSW wind. Not for paddle surfing – that’s kite territory if anything.

The next standout is on Friday morning, the 18th of September. The swell drops back to a manageable 6 ft from the SSE with a shorter 8-second period, but look at that wind – a glassy NNW breeze at just 3 mph. Combined energy is a moderate 407. It’s clean as a whistle, but the shorter period means it’ll be a bit softer and more suitable for the beachbreak section. Still, for the point, it’s a solid session.

Then we get a long gap until the next real highlight. There’s a bit of size again on Monday the 21st with 10 ft from the South but it’s onshore and lumpy, so sitting that out is smart.

The absolute best of the run, and I mean the standout, lands on Saturday morning, the 26th of September. This is the one to circle. Swell is 6 ft from the NE, period at 9 seconds, and the wind? Dead glass. Completely calm. Combined energy is a strong 440, and that NE swell direction is ideal for getting some shape into the point. It’s clean, clean, clean and the crowd profile is “often”, so expect company, but for a wave like that, it’s worth it. If you’re an intermediate or above, this is your morning.

After that, the window fades out again, with a last chance on Monday morning the 28th – a big 8 ft South swell with 11-second period, but it’s onshore from the SSE. That’s a powerful, tricky wave only for the experts and even then, messy.

So to sum it up: the 13th morning is a nice warm-up, then sit tight, and smash the 26th morning – that’s the real gem. The rest is either blown out or too small to get excited about. Keep an eye on the forecasts because that second week is always a bit less certain, but the signs are promising.

Stay salty,
Rusty
