What to expect in the water

North Curl Curl is a surf beach with moderate swell, consistent waves, and a clean break. The 2km swim takes place in a triangular loop off the beach, while the 3 Points Challenge includes multiple swim and run legs along the cliffs, beaches, and sand trails.
Water temps in early November are around 19–21°C, and conditions range from calm to punchy depending on the swell.

Swimmer essentials

Wetsuits optional but recommended for the 3 Points Challenge due to multiple swim legs. Water safety is extensive, with IRBs, lifeguards, and course marshals throughout.
This event is physically demanding, participants should have solid ocean experience and general fitness for the 3 Points Challenge.

Getting there & around

North Curl Curl SLSC is located at the southern end of the beach. Limited street parking is available, with overflow around nearby playing fields. Participants are encouraged to carpool or arrive early.
