Currumbin Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be real: the surf outlook for the next 16 days is pretty ordinary. There’s a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, but we’ve got a couple of windows that could surprise you. Let’s break it down.

It starts rough. Friday afternoon the 14th has about 3ft of southeast swell, but it’s crossed up and blowing 25 km/h, so it’s a mess. The energy is a low 144, meaning there’s no punch. The weekend is even worse: Saturday and Sunday have waves between 1ft and 4ft, but the period is short and junky, so it’s not offering anything.

Then Monday the 17th shows a bit of life. Swell picks up to about 6ft from the east-southeast, with combined energy jumping to 349. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s not ideal, and the period is only 7 seconds, making it a bit crumbly. But there’s definitely size and push. Water temp is 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 18th is similar, with 5ft of surf and slightly lighter winds, but the energy is a bit less.

Now, Wednesday the 19th is the one to circle. We’ve got 5ft of southeast groundswell with an 11-second period, and the energy is cranking at 759. That’s a serious push for the points. The wind is cross-offshore at 15-20 km/h, which should keep it clean. This is the best day of the fortnight. It’s got the shape and the power, and it’s a point break that’s fairly exposed, so it should handle it well.

After that, it’s back to small stuff. Thursday and Friday are weak, with a brief glassy moment on Friday morning, but it’s too small to get excited about.

The second week is a real downer. From the 22nd onwards, we’re dealing with waves mostly under 3ft, and the energy is weak. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 23rd morning with a small easterly swell and a clean offshore wind, but it’s tiny—just over 2ft.

The tail end of the window, from the 25th to the 29th, is pretty flat. Waves are barely reaching 3ft, and energy levels are in the dumps. It’s a waiting game.

So, the standout is clearly Wednesday the 19th. With that 11-second period and 5ft of southeast swell, it’s the only day with real quality and power. Monday the 17th is your next best bet if you’re desperate for a paddle. It’s going to be a quiet couple of weeks after that, so make the most of those two days.

Rusty out.
