Curl Curl Beach

Beach breakBeginner to intermediate

Curl Curl is a quieter Northern Beaches gem sitting between Dee Why and Freshwater, facing ESE and picking up easterly and southerly swells with consistent sandbanks. The southern lagoon end is sheltered and suits beginners, while the northern end produces quality peaks on solid swells. Smaller crowds compared to neighbouring beaches make it a local favourite.
