Surf: Curl Curl is an exposed beach, picking up the most swell on the Northern Beaches and works reasonably well in most conditions, although it’s rarely perfect. Best days will be on peaky E swells, groomed by W winds and mid tides. Soaks up a big crowd along it's length and often suffers from strong rips, which gouge out the sand to combat the Curly close-out. Environment: Easy to check and plenty of space in the rabbit warren car park.
