The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Right now, we’ve got nothing doing. The forecast is pretty bleak for the next two weeks. The first session that’s worth paddling out for isn’t until Monday the 24th of August, and even that’s not a standout. There’s a long gap of over a week of poor conditions before we get there.
The best of the lot – and I mean the only real standout in the whole 16-day window – is Monday the 31st of August. That morning, we’ve got a 7 ft S swell rolling in, clean conditions with a light offshore wind out of the NW, and combined swell energy is strong at 532. That’s a proper session. The afternoon gets bigger, 12 ft S swell, but period drops to 8 seconds and the combined energy jumps to 2125, which is very strong. That’s expert territory. The wind goes light cross-shore, so it’s still clean, but the size and the short period will make it a handful. For the average surfer, the morning session is the go.
Before that, there’s a brief window on Monday the 24th of August. Monday morning shows a 1 ft S swell with a very long 19-second period, combined energy at 210 (moderate). Winds are light cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s small, but those long-period lines will be super fun at Curl Curl Point – a point break that handles that kind of groundswell nicely. The afternoon is glassy but smaller, 2 ft S swell at 10 seconds.
Other than that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Wednesday the 19th of August has a 2 ft ESE swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s tiny. Not worth getting excited about. The rest of the period is a write-off – onshore winds, lumpy chop, and weak energy.
The water temperature at Curl Curl Point is 62°F, which is about a degree and a half cooler than normal for this time of year – that’s a bit nippy, but a good wetsuit will sort you out. Crowds can be a problem here, especially when it’s good, so for that 31st of August session, expect a few folks out.
So, the call: if you’re keen, aim for the morning of Monday the 31st of August. That’s the one. The 24th is a decent little warm-up if you’re desperate. Everything else, leave the board in the car.

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.
