Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cronulla Point over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’ve got a pretty quiet start for Cronulla Point over the next few days. The first decent surf doesn’t show up until Thursday, 30 July, with a 5ft S swell. It’s clean, with a light offshore wind, but it’s a bit on the small side and the energy is moderate (358). It’s really just a warm-up. On Friday, 31 July, that’s the standout. The swell jumps to 7ft from the S, with a solid 11-second period, and the wind is offshore SSW. The combined energy is strong (1794), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best window of the whole forecast. The water is about average for the time of year at 64°.
After that, it drops off again. Saturday and Sunday, 1–2 August, see the swell fade and the wind turns cross-onshore, making it messy. Monday and Tuesday, 3–4 August, are small and not worth getting excited about. There’s a bit of a pick-up on Wednesday, 5 August, with a 4ft S swell, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s still just ordinary. Another small window of note is Thursday, 6 August, with a 6ft SSE swell and offshore SSW wind, but the energy is moderate (645) and the forecast is marginal. The rest of the run into the second week is mostly poor, with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The period from 7 August onward is a write-off – cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and only a few small pulses of swell that don’t line up. The best bet is definitely Friday, 31 July, for a session. Crowds are likely at Cronulla Point, so get there early.

A general guide to surfing at Cronulla Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
