Curl Curl Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Curly over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting right on 65°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Monday morning the 7th is actually a nice little window to get out. We’ve got a clean 5ft southerly swell, periods around 8 seconds, and light cross-offshore winds from the NNW. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and rideable, and with the combined swell energy sitting at 305 (moderate), it’s a solid option for a beginner-friendly session. The only bummer is that crowds are often here, so you might have to share.

Monday afternoon and all of Tuesday look pretty average – the wind swings onshore and the swell jumps up, but it gets choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 9th is a write-off for paddling, but if you’re into kitesurfing, that strong S wind at 28 mph and 10ft of lumpy swell might get you interested. For a surfboard, it’s a hard pass.

Thursday the 10th morning is a strange one. The swell is 10ft at 10 seconds from the south, with combined energy cranked up to 1835 (very strong), but it’s flagged as too big for this break. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, the cross-shore wind is going to chop it up. Not recommended for the average punter.

The standout for the entire outlook is actually Wednesday the 16th in the morning. That’s a full nine days away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s looking promising. We’ve got a clean 8ft south swell with a 10-second period, combined energy of 1068 (strong), and light cross-offshore winds from the north. That’s a proper clean session for experienced surfers. The break is exposed and the swell direction (S) matches the optimum (SE) reasonably well, so it should line up nicely. Just be aware that at 8ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners might be out of their depth.

After that, the following week is a bit of a slow fade. Friday the 18th offers some clean, small waves with offshore winds, but we’re looking at 3ft at best. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. The last weekend and into the 22nd looks like another pulse of big swell, but again, it’s likely too big for the break.

Overall, the best bet is that Wednesday morning the 16th. Don’t sleep on Monday morning the 7th if you want a clean, small wave. The rest of the window is either messy, too big, or too small.
