The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Only one break on the board for the next couple weeks – Curl Curl Point. Consistent point break, exposed to south swell, best with a true south or southeast swell. Water temp is about normal for the time of year, nothing extreme.
The run starts Sunday morning 30 August: clean 3ft south swell, light offshore from the northwest, energy moderate at 283. Glassy and fun. That afternoon turns cross-on and goes to crap.
Monday 31 August is another early glassy session: 3ft south swell, light north breeze, period 8s, energy 267. Beautiful and clean.
Tuesday 1 September is the real highlight. Morning: 3ft south swell, 11-second period, light cross-offshore – proper groundswell, clean, full of shape. Energy solid at 254. Afternoon even better with offshore northwesterly at 15 mph, still 3ft but clean. That’s the full-day winner.
Wednesday 2 September holds small but workable – 2ft morning with offshore wind.
From Thursday 3 to Saturday 5 September, it drops into the knee range. Thursday 2ft (energy down to 69) and glassy afternoon, Friday 2ft with light offshore – tiny but clean for a longboard. Expect crowds when it’s small.
Saturday 5 September: moderate offshore but only 3ft – not worth it. Sunday 6 September morning bumps to 4ft south swell (energy 348) but cross-onshore ruins it.
Tuesday 8 September morning is another good call: 4ft south swell, 10-second period, light offshore from the north-northwest. Clean, moderate energy (255).
Now the real standout is Thursday 10 September morning. Dead calm, glassy, 8ft south swell with an 11-second period and massive energy at 1386. That’s big for Curly – expert only. The period fits the point perfectly. If you’re experienced, this is your day. Afternoon goes cross-shore and choppy.
Wednesday 9 September builds into that: 6ft morning (energy 510) with light cross-onshore, then 7ft afternoon (energy 1039) with onshore wind – messy and big, skip it.
After the 10th, it fades. Friday 11 is poor with onshore wind, Saturday 12 holds 3ft clean but tiny, and the final days drop to glassy but barely surfable 2ft waves.
Best bets: Tuesday 1 September (clean 3ft offshore all day) and Thursday 10 September (glassy 8ft for experts). Everything else is small or windy.
Stay stoked,
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.
