The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s run through the same story for Cronulla Point, but in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is right around the average for this time of year, so nothing special.
The overall pattern is a slow start, with a couple of days of average conditions before the good stuff shows up. The first recommendation isn’t until Tuesday, 8th September. Even then, it’s not the best of the period, but you’ll be looking at a solid 8ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period and a moderate offshore wind from the south at 16 mph. That’s going to be a decent morning session, and the combined wave energy is sitting at a moderate 810.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday, 12th September. This is the best on offer. You’ve got a 6ft SSE groundswell with an 11-second period, and the wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm from the south at 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets for a point break. The combined energy is a solid 797, and the conditions are going to be smooth. The swell direction is lining up perfectly with the optimum for Cronulla Point, which is from the SE. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect some company.
Also worth a mention is the morning of Friday, 11th September. You’ve got a 7ft S swell with a 10-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the west at 3 mph. Combined energy is 974, and it’s looking very good. Not quite as clean as the glassy Saturday, but still a ripper session.
Heading into the second week, things get a bit wild. Friday, 18th September, is showing a massive 16ft S swell in the afternoon, with a 12-second period and a light cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is a whopping 12623 – that’s strong to very strong. This is only for experienced surfers, and the wind is putting a bit of chop on it. The following morning, Saturday, 19th September, has an 8ft SSE swell with a 12-second period and light cross-shore winds. Worth a look but keep your expectations tempered.
There’s a gap of a few days in the middle of the second week with no real standouts, mainly poor conditions and onshore winds. The run from the 13th to the 17th is pretty flat or messy, with a lot of cross-on and onshore breezes killing the quality.
Right, that’s the picture. Stay safe out there.

Information about the Cronulla Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cronulla Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cronulla Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cronulla Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cronulla Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
