The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Curl Curl over the next couple of weeks.
For a stretch, it’s a bit of a slow burn. The first real standout doesn’t arrive until Thursday, July 30, when a solid 8ft southerly swell rolls in. The energy is pumping, clocking in at 2153. The morning looks best with a clean cross-off breeze from the WSW, making it a great session for experienced surfers with that size. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual to worry about there.
Then, Friday, July 31 morning is the pick of the week. Another 8ft southerly swell, but this time with a longer 11-second period, giving it some real grunt and shape. The combined energy is strong at 1194. That WSW cross-off wind keeps it clean and lined up. It’s an excellent option for the crew who know what they’re doing. The crowds will be there pretty often, so get in early.
The surf then drops off into the weekend with smaller, more ordinary conditions. Monday, August 3 and Tuesday, August 4 have some clean mornings with 3ft and 4ft SSE swells respectively, but nothing to write home about.
Looking further ahead to the second week, the standout is Monday, August 10 morning. A solid 6ft ENE swell, 9-second period, and a light NNW cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate at 534, and it’s looking very clean. Promising, but we’ll see how it firms up.
And then Tuesday, August 11 morning is a big one for the experts. A 8ft NE swell with a strong 15 mph offshore WNW wind. The combined energy is a huge 1581. That’s powerful, clean, and will be a serious paddle. Only for the experienced, and the offshore wind will make it world-class if it holds.
Outside of those windows, there are long stretches of poor or marginal conditions, especially from the afternoon of Friday, July 31 through to the end of the window, with a lot of choppy, onshore, or cross-shore wind and rain. Not much for the casual surfer in that second week.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
