The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at Cronulla Point for the next couple of weeks. Today, Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s a slow one – a small 3ft S swell with weak energy, but it’s clean from a light SSW offshore wind. Not worth the paddle.
The big standout hits Thursday morning the 10th of September. We’ve got a solid 8ft S swell with a moderate 9-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 2144 – strong stuff. Offshore SSW wind at 12 mph will keep it glassy and clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and the point break loves that S swell direction. Crowds are often here, so expect company. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Thursday afternoon drops to 7ft S swell with cross-off wind – still OK but not the peak.
Friday morning the 11th gives a smaller 5ft S swell (496 energy) with light offshore S wind – clean and fun, but nothing special. Saturday and Sunday fade into onshore junk and tiny waves, and the next week from the 14th through to the 19th looks grim – mostly under 3ft with messy wind or onshores.
Then there’s a glimmer on Saturday the 19th’s morning session. A 6ft S swell (594 energy) with a clean offshore SSW breeze – expect very good surf. The afternoon holds 6ft S swell, but cross-off wind makes it more marginal.
Further ahead, Thursday the 24th of September morning is promising: 6ft S swell, 609 energy, and glassy conditions – that’s a rare treat. The afternoon stays tidy with 6ft S swell at 666 energy and only a light cross-shore.
The best on offer is Thursday morning the 10th – that 8ft groundswell with offshore wind is the clear winner. The glassy Thursday the 24th morning is a very solid backup.
This has been Rusty. Stay safe out there.

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.
