Lunchtime update - Winds kicked from the SE and the ESE swell is on the make. Choppy 2-4ft and rising. Earlier report - Pretty ordinary conditions this morning, and thats being glass half full. Onshore SE winds and around 1-2ft of SE swell making for uninviting beach and surf conditions. Oh yeah and did i mention the rain? Very hard to justify why you would bother going for a surf this morning. The swell should slowly increase in the next 24-48 hours. Check BM's latest swell forecast.
The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April, however North Cronulla and Cronulla are still patrolled by council lifeguards 7 days a week.
Please do not take any risks during the off-season period. No Flags = No Swim! The majority of beach patrols will again commence on the first day of the September School Holidays.

Surfing Mums meet here!
Surfing mums is a network of women who surf and are mums (of course), but what sets them apart is that they still want to surf as much as we did before they had kids. Its not about how well you surf, or if you are a long boarder, short boarder, bodyboarder, body surfer or learning to surf. It's about getting wet and having fun!
