Curl Curl Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a coffee and settle in, ‘cause I’m gonna walk you through the next couple of weeks for this neck of the woods. First up, we’ve got a nice little window of surf, but it’s gonna get a bit messy later on, so we need to pick the eyes out of it.

The week kicks off with a solid run of clean, fun waves. Friday morning (10th July) is where you want to be. Curl Curl Point is looking at a solid 6 ft of SE swell, and with a light cross-off breeze from the WSW, it’s gonna be real clean. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The combined energy is pumping at 573 (moderate), so there’s plenty of push. The swell direction is a perfect match for the point, and the crowd is ‘often’ here, so if you’re not first in the water, you’ll be sharing it. This is the standout of the whole outlook.

Friday afternoon glassies off completely – wind goes flat calm, and the swell drops a touch to 5 ft, still SE. That’s a session you’d be gutted to miss. The energy is still strong at 543. It’s gonna be buttery.

Saturday morning (11th July) holds clean 3 ft waves, a bit smaller but still clean with a light offshore from the NNW. The period is a long 12 seconds, which is pure groundswell, so the waves will have some real shape and power to them, but expect longer lulls between sets. Energy is still respectable at 389. The wind turns onshore in the afternoon, so session that morning.

Sunday (12th July) sees the swell drop right off and the wind cranks up – 19 mph cross-off. It’s not worth paddling out for. The energy plummets to 104. Same story for Monday and Tuesday (13th and 14th July) – tiny, weak waves with energy readings in the 20s and 30s. A real lull.

Then we get a nasty spike of swell on Wednesday (15th July). The wave height hits 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is an ugly 16 mph cross-on from the south. It’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. The energy is massive at 1057, but it’s all for nothing. The setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.

Thursday (16th July) sees the swell settle back to 5 ft with a cleaner cross-off wind in the morning. That’s a good chance to sneak a session in, as the energy is 494. The afternoon gets a bit choppy again.

The next week (17th to the 25th July) is a real mixed bag, mostly small and ordinary. The swell is inconsistent, with tiny 2 ft to 3 ft waves and energy figures mostly under 300. There are a few fleeting moments of clean surf, like Saturday morning (18th July) with 5 ft from the east and a light cross-off, and Sunday morning (19th July) with the same. But nothing that screams “drop everything.” The wind is often howling, or the swell is just too weak.

The last real highlight in the second week is Thursday afternoon (23rd July) – 4 ft from the SSW with a clean cross-off breeze. It’s small, but it’ll be clean. Energy is 241. Considering the rest of that week is a desert, that’s your best bet out there, but it’s a long way out and far from a certainty.

So, to boil it down: Friday (10th July) is the absolute winner – both morning and afternoon. Saturday morning (11th July) is a strong second. After that, pick your moments carefully, because the quality drops off a cliff.

Rusty.
