The Lowdown
Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at Cronulla Point and it’s been a slow start. There’s a lot of days ahead where the surf is just not worth the effort.
The first real chance comes on Friday the 14th in the morning. Cronulla Point gets a clean 3ft of south swell, with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is about 206 (moderate). It’s not massive, but conditions are right for it. That’s the window.
After that, it’s mostly a long, dull stretch. Swell sticks around 3ft to 5ft but the wind is messy, and energy drops way down into the weak zone, like on the 20th and 21st when it’s barely 49. This poor run goes from Saturday the 15th all the way through to about Wednesday the 26th. A long dry spell.
Now, looking further out, Thursday the 27th might fire up. But that’s over a week away, so take it with a grain of salt. The forecast shows a solid SSW swell building to around 5ft in the morning, with a strong offshore wind. The energy jumps to 556 (strong). The catch? That wind is screaming at 40 km/h straight offshore. The waves will be clean, but it’s going to be a fight to get out there. Only for the experts. The water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so keep that in mind.
The real standout is that Friday 14th morning. It’s not the biggest, but the conditions will be clean and fun. The bigger stuff on the 27th has power, but it’s for the brave and the fit. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game.

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. If you surf the same spot (Cronulla Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
