Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
A very consistent point right in Sydney, distinct from the Cronulla beach break next door. Sheltered from south winds, works on winter SE swell; crowded, rocky entry.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
At Cronulla Point, tide isn't a deciding factor: the spot stays surfable across most tide states. Focus on the swell and the wind instead.
Cronulla Point is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Cronulla Point comes broadly from North-West: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Cronulla Point, you can also check conditions at URBNSURF, Ouano, Île des Pins. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
