The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The first thing I’ll say is that the next few days are pretty flat and ordinary. For the first week, the surf is small, inconsistent, and the conditions are mostly messy. We’ve got a few windows where it cleans up, but nothing to get excited about. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the double digits, which tells you there’s barely any power in the water.
Now, for the standout. The real action is on Thursday, September 10th, in the morning. That’s over a week away, but it’s the one to circle. We’re looking at a 13ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of energy – the combined energy is 2565 – so this is for experienced surfers only. It’s too big for beginners. The wind is offshore from the south at 9 mph, which will keep the face clean. This is a point break, so a long period groundswell like this will really wrap in and offer some proper lines. It’s an advanced spot, and crowds are often here, so expect a few others on it. The water temperature is 63°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The afternoon of that same day sees the swell drop to 12ft, but the wind turns cross, so it won’t be as clean. The morning is the clear winner.
The following week has some other potential. On Monday, September 14th, the morning brings a 6ft swell from the east-northeast, with glassy conditions – no wind at all. That’s a real treat. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a wind swell, but when it’s that clean, it’s worth a paddle. The combined energy is 521, so there’s some push. Again, it’s a point break, so the short period won’t be as much of a drawback.
There’s a gap in quality surf in between. The first few days are just small and choppy, and the big swell on the 10th is the only real standout. After that, the 14th is the next good look. The rest of the period is either too small, too windy, or just messy.
So, to sum it up: if you’re an experienced surfer, Thursday, September 10th morning is your best bet for big, clean waves at Cronulla Point. For a more manageable, glassy session, Monday, September 14th morning is the one. The rest is a write-off.
