The swell peaked in the stormy 5-6ft range late last night but is easing rapidly this morning. There's still some 4-5ft sets about, but they are inconsistent and not that powerful for their size. Wave heights are in the 3-5ft range, but it is mostly 3-4ft from the E. The wind is light SW early, but there is still a bump in the swell and it is a relatively short period swell in the 8-9 second period. There's peaky waves on the beaches, Elouera the pick. The Point has a wave, but nothing special.
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!
