The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.

The next couple of weeks are slow to start. The first few days are flat and messy, with no real surf. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Sunday, the 2nd of August.

The best of the bunch is Sunday afternoon. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the SE, but the period jumps up to 15 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The combined energy is 371 (moderate), and with a light breeze and cross-off wind, it’ll be clean. That’s the standout. It’s small, but for a point break like Currumbin Point, that long period will wrap around nicely.

Monday morning, the 3rd, is worth a mention too. Glassy conditions, 3ft from the SE with an 11-second period, and energy at 191 (moderate). It’s a small, clean morning wave. Not a stand-out, but better than the flat days before and after.

After that, it’s a long, dry gap. From the 4th right through to the 13th of August, it’s pretty much forgettable. Tiny, weak, or onshore. A few brief moments of glass in the mornings, but the wave heights are barely a ripple. The 13th shows a pulse of 3ft from the SE with a 9-second period, but the wind is stronger and it’s more of a same-again vibe.

The tail end of the forecast, on the 16th of August, throws up a bit more size: 5ft from the SE. But the period drops to a short, choppy 7 seconds, and the energy is 390 (moderate). The wind is cross-off which keeps it clean, but that short period will make it lumpy and less forgiving. It’s a late call, so keep an eye on it, but it ain’t the cleanest.

Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year. A bit of a chill, but nothing crazy.

So, for the whole 16-day window, your best bet is that Sunday afternoon session on the 2nd of August at Currumbin Point. It’s the only real standout. Everything else is a long, quiet wait.

Rusty.

Information about the Currumbin Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Currumbin Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Currumbin Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Currumbin Point 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 (Currumbin Point) 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 Currumbin Point 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.
