Curl Curl Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s break down the next couple weeks at Curl Curl in real-world numbers. The surf is gonna come in waves, with a few sweet sessions but plenty of lulls.

Starting off Friday the 11th, the morning pushes 6ft of southerly swell, with clean conditions thanks to a light cross-off breeze. The wave energy sits at a solid 669, and the period is 10 seconds – proper groundswell. Water temp is about 64°, which is normal for this time of year. This is the standout of the whole run: decent size, clean wind, and the bank should handle it. Expect a few heads in the water – the crowd factor is set to often.

Saturday the 12th morning is the real gem. The swell drops to 4ft from the south, but the period stretches to 12 seconds, giving it real punch. The wind is dead glassy – that’s the best you can get, and it’ll make the wave face smooth as silk. Energy is still strong at 621. This is the session I’d put money on.

Sunday the 13th morning fades to 3ft with a 10-second period and a cross wind – surfable, but nothing to write home about. Monday the 14th morning is small and ordinary at 2ft. The rest of that week turns ugly: Tuesday the 15th drops into weak energy, and Wednesday the 16th gets hammered – a massive 12ft to 13ft southerly swell with 25 mph cross winds, and energy up to 3093. That’s blown out and way too big for a beginner spot. Thursday the 17th morning is still 10ft and cross-shore – experts only.

Then a bit of magic. Friday the 18th morning shows only 2ft from the south, but the period is a whopping 19 seconds – very long-period groundswell. The wind is glassy, and energy is 665. Those long lines can be weird on a beach break, but if you find the right rip, it’ll be clean and eerie. Saturday the 19th morning is also nice: 3ft, 14-second period, and a light cross-off.

After that, it’s mostly small and choppy until Wednesday the 23rd morning, where another big 12ft southerly swell hits with a 10-second period and light cross wind. Energy punches up to 2657. It’s predicted to be too big for this break, so unless you’re keen for a beating, sit it out. Thursday the 24th morning shows a glassy 6ft with an 8-second period – short-period windswell but clean.

The final days up to the 26th are poor or marginal. The calls: Friday the 11th morning for size, and Saturday the 12th morning for pure glass. The 18th morning is a weird one with those long-period lines. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Rusty out.
