The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's brewing for Cronulla Point over the next two weeks.
The start of this forecast is a bit of a quiet one. The first few days are poor, with sloppy conditions and nothing to get excited about. You'll be waiting from the 14th until the 23rd of August for any real quality to show up. There's a long gap of small, messy waves and cross-shore winds.
The first real standout is the afternoon of Sunday the 23rd of August. A solid 5.9ft south swell with a nice long period of 11 seconds. The combined wave energy is a solid 789, which is moderate to strong. The wind is a light southeast seabreeze, keeping it clean. This is the pick of the early period, offering proper, well-shaped waves for the experienced surfer. The water is running a bit colder than average for the time of year, at 60.8°.
For the crew looking for serious size, mark Tuesday the 25th of August. We're looking at a massive 11.5ft south swell on the morning, with a very long period of 11 seconds and a huge 4648 combined energy. That's strong to very strong energy. This is big, heavy, and powerful. With a period that long, it's going to be a defined, powerful wave at the point. This is strictly for experts only. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, but the sheer size is undeniable. It drops to 8.2ft in the afternoon, still massive.
If you're after a clean, glassy session, the morning of Friday the 28th of August is a real gem. A 5.2ft south-east swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is dead glassy – zero. That's a rare find. The combined energy is 513, a moderate pulse. The conditions will be silky smooth, making those long point waves a dream to surf. This is a top choice for a clean, fun session without the monster size.
So, the two standouts: Sunday the 23rd afternoon for the best quality, clean surf with solid size, and then Friday the 28th morning for the ultimate glassy conditions. The big one on the 25th is for the chargers only.

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.
