Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, looking at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a slow start, but there's some solid action building, especially if you're willing to wait for a few standout pulses.

The first real chance to get wet is this Sunday morning the 26th. Curl Curl Point is showing a 7 ft swell from the S, with a period of 11 seconds. That's a nice, long-period groundswell that'll wrap around the point nicely. Winds are a cross-offshore WSW at 9 mph, which is a good sign for clean faces. The combined energy is moderate (921). It's not the best of the run, but it's a proper point break wave to get the week started. Water temps are about average for this time of year, so no complaints there.

Monday morning the 27th will be a bit smaller, with a 4 ft S swell, but the wind goes light and variable from the W at 3 mph. That's near glassy, and the energy is still there (239). A good morning for a longboard or a funboard if you want to get some clean, cruisy waves.

Things drop right off from Tuesday the 28th through to Wednesday the 29th – tiny, weak swells with barely any energy. You'd be wasting your time. That's a quiet couple of days.

Then, hold onto your boardies, because Thursday morning the 30th is the first big highlight. The swell ramps up to a solid 10 ft from the SSW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2547 – that's strong. It's a powerful swell, but it's on the bigger side; over 8 ft, so this is really for experienced surfers only. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SW at 12 mph. This is a serious, powerful wave at Curly Point. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore, so get in early.

Friday morning the 31st is another big day, with another 10 ft pulse from the S, and energy at 2987. The wind is a cross-shore from the SW at 12 mph, which is manageable, but it's not as clean as the morning before. The size is still for experts only, but it's a lot of water moving. Expect crowds to be often, as this is the kind of day that draws a crew.

The rest of that week and into the first weekend of August drops off in size and quality, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Not worth a paddle.

Now, the real standout for this outlook is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. The swell is 6 ft from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds – a solid groundswell. The wind is a light, offshore WNW breeze at 6 mph, making for clean, peaky conditions. The combined energy is nearly 1000 (996). This is 'expect very good surf conditions' territory. The size is perfect for a wide range of abilities, and the offshore wind will hold the waves up. This is the morning to clear your schedule.

The following Monday morning, the 3rd of August, is also nice with a 5 ft SE swell and offshore NNW wind at 6 mph. A good follow-up session.

After that, we get a long run of poor conditions from the 4th through to the 8th of August. Small, weak, and onshore. A real lull.

Finally, the last good call is on Monday morning, the 10th of August. The swell jumps back up to 8 ft from the S, with a short 8-second period. The winds are a cross-offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The energy is 839, and it's another 'expect very good surf conditions' call. The size is pushing into expert territory, but the clean conditions and the quality of the point should make for some memorable waves.

So, to wrap it up: the best bets are the morning of the 30th and the 31st for the big-wave crew, the absolute standout is Sunday morning the 2nd of August for the best all-round conditions, and the morning of the 10th of August for a final clean pulse. Keep an eye on that Sunday the 2nd.

Rusty.
