Rusty here again, turning this into the language you’d hear at the local.
First thing’s first, we’re staring down some seriously chunky swell that’s just too big for the soft banks at Curl Curl. Tuesday the 7th is pumping: 10-foot to 12-foot from the SSE/SE, with a wave energy reading of 2555 and 2771 – that’s a ton of water moving. With a cross breeze blowing, it’s only for the hard-cores who know what they’re doing. Water temp is pretty standard for the season, nothing out of the ordinary.
There’s a dry spell in the middle of the week, Wednesday and Thursday, where the waves drop off but the wind goes cross-onshore and rain moves in. It’s gonna be a chop-fest, not worth the effort.
Then Friday the 10th morning. That’s the one. The swell drops to a friendly 6 feet from the SE, and that light offshore wind is gonna make it glassy. It’s clean, the energy is moderate (507), and the conditions are lining up for a really good session. That’s the standout. If you’ve got a window, that’s it.
After that, it just fades into nothing. By the start of the next week, we’re talking ankle-snappers – 1-foot waves, clean but flat as a pancake. A few days of nothing much.
Then for the long-range look, Monday the 21st throws a massive 16-foot southerly groundswell at us, with a 12-second period and an energy reading of 7377. That’s massive, but just way too big for this break, a monster for experts only. Wednesday the 22nd is still big, around 11-12 feet. The long period means it could be straight as a wall at the beach. Keep an eye on it, but don’t bank on it.
Best bet: Friday 10th morning for the cleanest, most fun waves. Don’t miss it.
Rusty.

Information about the Curl Curl Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Curl Curl 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 can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Curl Curl 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) 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 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.
