Cremorne Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks look like for the sheltered little nook of Cremorne Point. It’s a friendly, beginner-friendly point break, but it’s also very picky about its swells. We’re looking at a lot of flatness before things finally wake up for a proper finale.

The water’s sitting at 53°F, which is a degree or so colder than usual for this time of year – not a huge deal, but you’ll feel it in the chest zip.

The first week is a total flat spell. From Tuesday the 4th through to Monday the 10th, it’s dribbly little waves in the 0.5ft to 2ft range. The energy just isn’t there – numbers mostly in the low double digits (17 to 114). There’s a clean window Wednesday the 5th morning with a light offshore and a 20-second period, but at 0.5ft, it’s not worth getting wet for. The closest to a pulse is Friday the 7th morning when the energy bumps to 194, but the swell is still tiny and the wind is cross. This is a great week to re-string your boards.

There’s a complete dead zone from Sunday the 9th afternoon, when a moderate onshore breeze kicks up and the swell drops to 0.3ft (energy 11), lasting through to Tuesday the 11th. Forget it – it’s a lake.

Then, Wednesday the 12th, things start to rumble. A proper south groundswell rolls in – we’re talking 4ft with a long 15-second period and the combined energy jumps to a solid 957. The morning has a fresh cross-off breeze, and the afternoon goes full offshore with 3ft and a 19-second period (energy 354). It’s not huge, but the clean lines and that long-period push make it the first real surfable day. This is where it starts to get interesting.

Thursday the 13th is more of the same – 3ft of south swell with a 17-second period, and the energy is pumping at 572 to 593. Offshores or cross-off winds keep it clean all day. This is a good one for the longboard.

Now, the big one – and I mean *the* big one – circle Friday the 14th. The morning is still modest at 4ft (energy 710), but the afternoon is where it goes off. The swell builds to a chunky 18ft from the SSW with an 18-second period. The combined energy reading hits a massive 22173 – that’s a serious amount of water moving. With a light offshore wind forecast, this could be absolutely firing. But listen, this is a massive, expert-only day. At that size, this sheltered point will be heavy and challenging. If you’re not a big-wave surfer, give it a miss and grab some photos. For those who know, this is a once-in-a-window opportunity.

After that, it drops back down fast. Saturday the 15th sees 4ft backing off to 3ft through the day (energy 793 to 459), still clean with offshores, a fun leftover. Sunday the 16th has some waist-high leftovers at 2ft, but it fades fast. By Monday the 17th, we’re back to the flat and cross-shore chop, and the rest of the window into Wednesday the 19th looks like more of the same – small, weak, and mostly cross-shore. Energy numbers hover in the low hundreds (85 to 122).

So, to sum it up: the first week is a wash-out, the middle of the second week (Wed 12th – Sat 15th) is where it’s at, and Friday afternoon the 14th is the big one – for experts only. Get the boards ready for that window and be patient.

Rusty out.
