Righto, let’s have a look at what’s in store at Crunchie Pt. This is a beginner-friendly reef break, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to a SSW direction. The water temp is sitting at about 57°, which is spot on for this time of year – nothing weird going on there. For now, though, it’s a bit of a grim picture.

The immediate weekend is a write-off. Saturday morning we’ve got a lumpy 10ft SW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is a cross-shore from the WSW at 16 mph, making a right mess of it. The wave energy is moderate at best (2740). It’s not worth paddling out. Saturday afternoon goes from bad to worse with poor conditions. Sunday is no better – still a decent 10ft SW groundswell (period 17 seconds, energy a strong 6604) but that cross-onshore ESE wind at 16 mph has it chopped and blown out. Not surfable.

Monday the 6th is where things turn around. Monday morning we’ve got a clean 5ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (1019), and the conditions are clean. It’s a proper little window. But the real standout is Monday afternoon: glassy conditions, a 4ft SW swell, still with a nice 14-second period. The wind drops to nothing from the SSE at just 3 mph. This is the pick of the first week. The surf is small but clean, and for a beginner-friendly spot like Crunchie Pt, that’s as good as it gets. The energy is weaker (730) but the quality is top-notch.

Tuesday the 7th morning keeps the clean theme going with a 3ft SW groundswell (17 seconds) and a light cross-off from the NE at 3 mph. Small but glassy. Tuesday afternoon gets tricky with a direct onshore wind and a jumpy 5ft swell – not the same vibe.

Wednesday the 8th afternoon is another highlight. 7ft of SW swell with an 18-second period, and a light cross-off from the NNE at 3 mph. Clean conditions, strong energy (2768), and excellent for experienced surfers. This one’s got some punch. The morning is a bit smaller and more mixed.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offer similar small, clean windows – morning cross-off winds, afternoon glass-offs. Swells between 4ft and 5ft, periods of 15-16 seconds, not huge but very enjoyable. Crowds are possible at Crunchie Pt, so if you want it to yourself, aim for those glassy afternoons.

After that, things go quiet. Saturday the 11th is still clean but small (3ft), and then from Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 15th we hit a rough patch. Strong offshore winds, rain, and lumpy cross-onshore conditions dominate. There’s a weird spike on Tuesday the 14th afternoon with a 13ft SW swell, but the period is a short 11 seconds and the wind is cross-shore – more of a washing machine than a wave. The energy is strong (3339), but the quality is poor.

Thursday the 16th afternoon brings a glimmer: 8ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, with a clean cross-off from the NW at 9 mph. That’s a solid session for more experienced surfers. Then Friday the 17th morning pumps out a 10ft SW swell (14 seconds) with a moderate offshore from the NNW – clean, powerful, and only for the confident crew. The afternoon goes up to 13ft with a 15-second period and a fresh offshore, energy hitting 7701. That’s proper heavy, experts only.

Saturday the 18th stays big – 12ft to 10ft swells, strong offshores, but the energy is still massive. By Sunday the 19th it’s fading fast, and the wind picks up again, leaving us with small, messy leftovers.

The standout overall? Monday afternoon the 6th. Tiny but perfect, glassy, and a dream for a beginner at Crunchie Pt. For the big-wave hunters, Wednesday the 8th afternoon and Friday the 17th morning are the ones to circle – just be aware of the crowds when it’s firing.

Rusty.

Information about the Crunchie Pt Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Crunchie Pt provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Crunchie Pt can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Crunchie Pt 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 (Crunchie Pt) 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 Crunchie Pt 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.

Crunchie Pt is 22 km (14 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Mornington Peninsula, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
