The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: the next couple of weeks at Curl Curl Point are a bit of a slow burn. The water’s right around 63°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first few days are a bust. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are tiny, weak, and not worth your time – combined energy is in the 40s to 150s, which is weak to barely moderate. Friday and Saturday the 7th and 8th have a little more push, maybe 2 to 3 feet from the south, but it’s still ordinary and the energy is low. You’d be scratching.
The first real standout is Monday the 10th. The swell jumps to around 6 feet from the ENE, with a strong energy of 538, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW. That’s a proper morning session. The swell direction isn’t the ideal SE, but the size and clean conditions make it the best of the first week. The wind cranks up to 35 km/h (22 mph) in the afternoon, so get out early.
Tuesday the 11th morning is another brief, clean window – around 3 feet of southerly groundswell with a 13-second period, which is long and should give the point some proper shape. Energy is strong at 393, and there’s a light offshore. Great window, but the afternoon gets blown out by a fresh westerly.
Thursday the 13th is a washout – cross-shore winds and chop. Friday the 14th morning is your second standout: 4 feet of southerly swell, a 9-second period, and light offshore winds. Energy is solid at 449, and it should be clean and fun, just a bit shorter period than Tuesday.
After that, it’s a long slide into nothing. From Saturday the 15th through to the 20th, the swell fades and the winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, with choppy conditions and weak energy readings in the 40s to 200s. The 16th through 20th are all poor – you’d be better off doing something else. There’s a small 2 to 2 foot bump around the 17th and 19th mornings, but the energy is weak and the wind isn't helping.
So, bottom line: don’t rush out for the early days. Monday the 10th morning and Friday the 14th morning are your best bets – real surf, decent size, and clean winds. Tuesday the 11th morning is also worth a look if you want longer period and better shape. The second week is a write-off, so don’t get your hopes up too far out. Forecasts can change, but right now, that’s the story.
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.
