Curl Curl Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight to it. The next couple of weeks have a few clean windows, but only one morning truly stands out. The early days are small and average, so don’t rush out expecting magic.

Tuesday morning at Curl Curl (Sydney) starts small – 4ft of SSW swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds. Water temp is 62°, which is about 2° cooler than the usual for this time – you’ll feel that. The cross-off breeze keeps it clean for a beginner-friendly wave, but there’s no power behind it. Energy is weak-to-moderate (201). A lap-sitter, not a standout.

Tuesday afternoon is the real opener. The swell builds to 6ft from the S, the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the wind turns glassy offshore from the NW. Energy jumps to strong (801). This is a proper clean session – the kind where the waves have shape and push. Crowds are likely, but it’s worth the company.

Wednesday morning keeps the momentum – 4ft S swell, 10 seconds, offshore W wind (370). Solid and clean. A good backup. Wednesday afternoon fades – 3ft, wind swings WSW and strengthens. Still rideable, but less special.

Thursday is a mess. Morning has 3ft S swell at 8 seconds, with average shape. Afternoon sees a bump to 7ft S swell with energy spiking to 1064, but the wind turns onshore from the ESE. Close-outs. Leave it.

Friday morning – 4ft S swell, 9 seconds, W cross-off (244). Fun, but not worth canceling plans. Friday afternoon gets blown out with onshore SE wind.

The weekend is a complete washout. S/SE winds at 25 km/h, short-period junky swell (6-7 seconds), and rain moving in. Choppy, cross-onshore slop. Not a chance.

Monday and Tuesday of the next week stay poor – ESE winds onshore, swell dropping and ragged. The beach looks more like a kite zone than a surf zone.

Then, Sunday the 23rd morning. This is the one. Swell hits 6ft from the NE, period at 10 seconds, with a clean offshore SW wind. Energy is massive – 1283. Lined-up, clean, and powerful. This is the pick of the fortnight. Expect the crowd – it’ll be worth it. The water should have warmed up a touch by then, too.

Monday the 24th – swell drops, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, which might make it too straight for this beach break. Tuesday the 25th – a huge 10ft S swell with 2111 energy, but that’s way too big for this spot. Experts only, and even then, risky.

The tail end is fading fast. Wednesday the 26th has a tiny 3ft S swell with weak energy (138), ordinary at best. The main hope is that Sunday the 23rd – it’s a few days out, so call it promising, not guaranteed.

Keep it simple: Tuesday arvo if you can, and lock in Sunday the 23rd as the big one. The rest is filler.

Rusty out.
