The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Cronulla Point over the next 16 days.
The forecast has a bit of a slow start, but there are some serious standouts coming up. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny swell and messy winds, so don’t bother paddling out until we get to Thursday the 30th of July. That’s where the real action starts.
The best of the bunch is hands down Thursday the 30th of July. Early morning you’re looking at a solid 6ft S swell, with a moderate 11-second period and clean conditions thanks to offshore SW winds at 15 km/h. Combined swell energy is strong at 2456, and the water temp is 63°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. This is expert territory at that size—Cronulla Point will be firing, but only for those who know what they’re doing. Expect some company though, as this spot can get crowded.
Friday the 31st of July is another cracker. Morning sees another 6ft S swell, slightly shorter period at 10 seconds, but still clean with offshore SW winds at 20 km/h. Combined energy is a beast at 2370. The afternoon drops a touch to 5ft with SSE direction, still clean and offshore—very good surf all day.
Saturday the 1st of August holds up nicely. Morning brings 4ft SSE swell with gentle offshore SW winds at 15 km/h and clean conditions. Combined energy sits at 781. The afternoon stays clean with 4ft SSE swell and light cross-off winds. Solid, consistent fun.
After that, things drop off again from Sunday the 2nd of August through to Wednesday the 5th of August—small swell and onshore winds make for poor surfing. Then Thursday the 6th of August offers a pulse of 6ft S swell with 8-second period, clean but short period means it’s less exciting. Still, a lookable option.
There’s a late standout on Saturday the 8th of August morning—glassy conditions with 4ft S swell from a 9-second period, combined energy 247. That’ll be clean and inviting for all levels. But watch out, Saturday afternoon amps up to a heavy 9ft S swell with cross-on winds—only for the brave.
Sunday the 9th of August is messy, and then Monday the 10th of August sees a huge 12ft SE swell with an 11-second period and combined energy of 4479—massive, but cross-on winds make it a messy beast. Kite surfers might love it, but for paddle surfing it’s a tough call.
Overall, the standout windows are Thursday the 30th of July through Saturday the 1st of August, and the glassy morning of Saturday the 8th of August. The rest of the fortnight is mostly small or blown out.
Stay stoked,
Rusty.

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.
