The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
It's a slow start, no doubt about it. The first stretch from Tuesday through to the end of the week is a write-off, with tiny swell, dodgy onshore winds, and generally poor surf conditions. We're looking at a gap of about four days with nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about average for this time of year, no drama there.
The first real glimmer comes on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session at Cronulla Point is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the southeast. You'll find a 4ft south swell, with a period of 11 seconds, and combined energy of 301 (moderate). The swell direction is a good match for the point's optimum. It's a consistent spot, but crowds are often a factor, so expect company. This is the pick of the early window.
Then we hit a real standout. Wednesday the 9th of September is the one to circle. The morning offers a solid 8ft south swell, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1134. The wind is a moderate offshore from the south, keeping it clean. The afternoon is even better with 8ft south swell, 11-second period, and combined energy of 1944 (very strong), with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. This is serious, powerful groundswell, best for experienced surfers only. The size and direction are perfect for the point. Get on it if you're confident.
The rest of the run is a mixed bag. Thursday the 10th has an 8ft south swell in the morning, but it's cross-on and looks messy, more of a "what could have been" scenario. From Friday the 11th onward, things drop off fast, with weak energy and onshore winds, leaving only a few marginal windows. The second week is quiet, with tiny swell and no real quality, so make the most of that Sunday and Wednesday.
Stay tuned, conditions can shift, but for now, that's the picture.
Rusty.

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.

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.
