Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for the most part. We've got a big run of messy, blown-out conditions to start, so don’t get your hopes up too high.

The first bit of action we can talk about kicks off on Sunday, July 5th, but it’s not pretty. Curl Curl Point is seeing a solid 12 ft south swell with a period of 11 seconds, and the wave energy is absolutely thumping at (2917). That sounds great, but the wind is a cross-shore SSW breeze at 16 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and hard to enjoy. The water temp is 65°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. Through Monday and Tuesday, we’ve got more of the same: heavy rain, ons shore winds, and 10 ft surf that’s just messy. The swell energy stays high, into the 2000s, but it’s a write-off.

We finally get a bit of a clean-up late in the week. On Friday, July 10th, the swell drops to a more manageable 6 ft from the SE, and the wind swings around to a light 6 mph W, going cross-offshore. For the morning session, it’s clean and the best we’ve seen, but it’s still only a modest energy of (603). That Friday morning window is the standout for the entire outlook. The afternoon stays clean too, but the swell dips a little to 6 ft.

The weekend continues quiet. Saturday, July 11th, sees the swell drop to 4 ft from the SE, with a gentle WNW breeze at 3 mph in the morning. It’s glassy, clean, and the point will be peeling. This is your next best window for a fun, easy paddle on a small day. The water is still feeling average for the season.

From there, it's a long, slow fade. The second week, starting Sunday, July 12th, is all small and ordinary. The swell drops below 3 ft and stays tiny through until Saturday, July 18th, with wave energy sinking to around 100 or less. The winds are generally favourable – offshore or cross-off from the NW – but there’s just no power. On Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, you’ll see clean conditions with tiny 1 ft to 2 ft waves and offshores, but it’s a flat spell really. The energy is weak (42-50). On Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th it’s even smaller, barely 1.0 ft, and you’d be chasing ripples.

We see a tiny pulse on Friday, July 17th, with a 2 ft SSW swell carrying a long 12-second period, but it’s got next to no push. The energy is only (136). Then Saturday the 18th is the last day with any real hope, showing 2 ft S swell at 10 seconds and light offshore winds from the NNW. It’s clean, but it’s a micro session. After that, the outlook goes completely flat and windy again heading into the 19th and 20th.

If you’re a beginner, the 12 ft days earlier on are way too big. The only realistic time to get wet is Friday the 10th or Saturday the 11th for the cleanest lines, even if the size is down. For the rest, it’s a lot of time watching the horizon.

Catch ya on the beach,
Rusty
