Right then, this is Rusty again, same story in feet and miles.

Cronulla Point’s looking at a patchy start. Saturday morning’s got a 4ft S swell with a cross-off breeze, but the combined energy is only 333 – not much to shout about. Saturday afternoon is even smaller at 3ft.

But Sunday morning fires up with a solid 10ft S groundswell, period of 11 seconds, and a big energy reading of 2027. The wind’s offshore from the SSW at 19 mph. This is for the experienced crew – anything over 8ft is for experts. Sunday afternoon stays big at 8ft with fresh cross-off wind.

Monday drops a touch to 8ft, still clean.

Tuesday and Wednesday are the real deal for big-wave hunters. Tuesday morning: 10ft from the SSE, offshore wind, energy at 3008. Wednesday morning: same setup, 10ft, 2358 energy. Both are clean and powerful.

Thursday comes down to 7ft, still offshore. Friday morning is a glassy gem: 7ft SE swell, 11-second period, light offshore wind at just 6 mph, energy at 1051.

Then it goes flat from Saturday 11th through to Thursday 16th. A long dry spell with tiny surf and no energy.

But Saturday 18th afternoon delivers a sudden wallop: 12ft S swell, 9 seconds, gentle cross-off wind, energy at 1877. Then Sunday 19th morning is absolutely monstrous: 15ft of S groundswell, 11-second period, and a mind-boggling energy of 5118. This is only for the most experienced. Sunday afternoon is still a massive 13ft.

Water temp is 65°F, right on average for this time of year.

Best bets: Tuesday and Wednesday of the first week for quality, and the 18th/19th for raw, heavy power.

Rusty out.

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.

Cronulla Point is 1 km (1 miles) from Cronulla. If you plan a holiday in Sydney South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Cronulla. Cronulla has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
