The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off messy. Saturday afternoon brings a solid 13ft swell, but it's getting hammered by a strong 30 km/h southerly wind. That's a lot of power, but the wind is going to turn it into a washing machine. The water temp is a standard 70°, right where it should be for this time of year.
The real sweet spot is shaping up for the middle of next week. Wednesday the 22nd is looking like the pick of the bunch. We've got a clean 4ft easterly swell with a light offshore breeze, and the combined energy is a moderate 269. It's not massive, but it's clean, and the conditions are good. Thursday morning the 23rd will be even smaller at 3ft, but glassy. For a point break like Currumbin Point, that clean, smaller swell is going to be way more fun than the messy, wind-blown stuff.
After that, the swell dies. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves from the 24th through the end of the month. The energy levels fall into the double digits, which is just flat.
Then, things get interesting. Saturday, August 1st, shows a sudden spike with a 8ft groundswell from the north-northeast. That's a big jump, and the combined energy is a solid 975, so there's plenty of power there. It's a long way out, so don't get too excited yet, but that could be the one that gets the heart pumping. The wind is forecast to be cross-off, so it could be a proper session.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a clean paddle, Wednesday the 22nd is your best bet for manageable, fun waves. The real standout, however, is that Saturday, August 1st swell. If that forecast holds, Currumbin Point will be the place to be. It's a long-range call, so don't set your watch by it, but it's the one to watch.
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.
