The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let me break it down for Cronulla Point. Saturday the 25th is a dud – there’s some swell around 5.2ft from the south with moderate energy (605), but the cross-off wind and tricky tide mess it up. Saturday afternoon goes glassy, but the swell drops to 4.3ft. Not worth your time. Sunday the 26th morning is the first real chance – 5.9ft southerly swell, strong energy (733), clean with the cross-off breeze. It’s an advanced point, so crowds are often around.
Monday the 27th drops off, and from Tuesday the 28th through Wednesday the 29th, it’s mostly flat or poor, with energy down to 36 and even 10. That Wednesday morning has a tiny 0.3ft SE swell with a 13-second period, but it’s barely there. Thursday the 30th morning is your standout for the first week – 5.2ft southerly swell, moderate energy (232), clean offshore wind from the SW, giving you proper, lined-up waves. Period’s short at 7 seconds, but that offshore keeps it tidy.
After that, it’s patchy and ordinary through the end of July into August. Water temp is 63.3°, right about average. Monday the 3rd of August brings a pulse of 6.2ft SE swell with strong energy (674), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – not ideal. The real long-range gem is Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon – glassy conditions with 4.9ft ESE swell, good energy (349), clean and fun. That’s the one to aim for. The second week fades into small, messy surf. Best bets are Thursday the 30th morning and Wednesday the 5th afternoon. Stay frothy.

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.
