Currimundi Beach

Currimundi Beach is an exposed North Coast beach break known for reasonably consistent surf. The bottom is sandy, and the session often improves when local sandbars near the lake entrance line up with the incoming swell. Surf tends to work best around the mid tide, and the break is described as having peeling wave shape with moderate power. Working swell is typically in the 0.5–1.5 m range from the east to southeast, and on larger swells it can close out when conditions get too big (reported closure tendency above 2 m). Safety is a priority: sharks and jellyfish (including bluebottles) are listed hazards, and strong rip currents are common. When the wind turns north-east, bluebottles can be quite thick in the water, so avoid the worst concentrations and follow local instructions. Also stay well clear of any lifeguard-flagged swimming areas. Wind sports can be active at the coast, with sea-breeze patterns described for afternoons. For spring and summer, sea breezes are common, and typical wind is often in the 15–25 knot range. This makes the area suitable for kitesurfing (wave riding and downwinders) and intermediate windsurfing in stronger southeasterly conditions, while wingfoiling is described as more challenging on the ocean side and better limited to advanced riders.
