The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down Cronulla Point for the next couple weeks. Truth is, it’s gonna be a quiet start. There’s a long stretch of small, weak swell and dodgy wind – cross-shore and cross-onshore – from now through the first days of September. Wave energy stays low, mostly around 252 down to 74. Water temp is nothing special, right where it should be for winter. You’re looking at about 6-7 days with barely a wave worth paddling for.
First real chance is Sunday the 6th of September morning. Dead calm wind, glassy as glass, with a 3ft south swell at 10 seconds. Energy hits 228, modest but clean. Crowds are likely at this point, so get there at dawn. That window closes fast when the seabreeze comes up.
Wednesday the 9th of September morning is the pick. A 5ft south swell, 10-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE keeping everything smooth. Energy jumps to 349 – proper moderate power. This is the one to circle on the calendar. After lunch, it’s onshore and messy.
Later, Thursday the 10th of September morning brings a bigger pulse – 7ft south swell (energy 1055, strong), but cross-onshore wind makes it lumpy and only for experts. Friday the 11th of September morning cleans up again with 5ft south swell and offshore wind.
Best on offer: Wednesday the 9th of September morning and Sunday the 6th of September morning. Go get it.
Rusty.

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.
