The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks for our region. We've got a bit of a mixed bag here, but there are some definite windows to get excited about.
The pattern starts off a little slow, but don't let that fool you. We've got a major pulse of energy coming through in the second week that will be the real highlight. For the next few days, things are building. The big one to circle on your calendar is Friday, the 11th of September. That morning, Curl Curl Point is looking at a glassy 10ft south swell. That's a serious amount of water, and the combined energy is off the charts at 1616 (strong wave energy). This is expert territory only, but for those who know what they're doing, it will be a spectacle. The wind will be glassy from the NNE, creating dreamy conditions.
Before that, there are some solid sessions to be had. Monday, the 31st of August kicks off with a clean 3ft south swell and a light NNE cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 271. It's a good way to start the work week. Tuesday, the 1st of September is a beauty, too, with a clean 3ft south swell and offshore NW winds in the afternoon. The longer 11-second period will give those waves some nice shape and power. The energy is again moderate at 251.
The water temperature is currently sitting at 63°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so you won't need a 5/4 just yet.
We hit a bit of a lull from Wednesday the 2nd through to the morning of Friday the 4th, with small, weak swell. But Friday morning the 4th picks right back up with a clean 4ft south swell and light WNW cross-offshore winds. That's a lovely window.
After another small weekend, we get that Sunday the 6th pulse, but it's blown out by cross-onshore winds. Then, the whole run-up to Friday the 11th is small and messy, except for the Tuesday afternoon the 8th, which offers a tiny, glassy 2ft wave. Not worth suiting up for really. But hold tight.
After that big Friday, Saturday the 12th morning is still good, with a clean 4ft south swell and offshore NW winds. It won't be as big, but it'll be fun. And then Sunday the 13th morning is absolute glass once again. Dead calm winds and a clean 3ft southerly swell with an 11-second period. That's a session for everyone.
So, overall: Thursday and Friday of next week are the standouts. Do not miss the Friday 11th morning if you're an experienced surfer. The Monday morning 31st, Tuesday the 1st, and Sunday the 13th morning are the best bets for the broader crew. The crowd at Curly can be an issue, but on those glassy days, it's always worth the paddle.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Curl Curl Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
