After one of the worst winters for life but the best winter's for swell it's finally run out and so have the waves this week.
Todays decreasing 2-3ft south swell is as big as it is going to get until Monday afternoon next week so catch a couple of extras before you come in.
Today's waves are only up the north end of the beach with the swell really south and the only banks surfable are situated from Wanda to Greenhills and the crowds know all about it.
The forecast shows this 1-2 ft soft swell to change direction around to the nor-east which still doesn't help Cronulla surfers much because Bate Bay faces towards the south and we miss a lot of north direction swells.
The winds will also swing to the north-west for the early before also blowing nor-east in a sign of things to come.
On a brighter note the water temp is sitting around 15.6 degree's so it can't get much colder- but you never know we have had fires, floods and famine so anything could happen.
The World Surf League is excited to announce that the Tweed Coast Pro in New South Wales will be added to the line-up for the Australian Grand Slam of Surfing.
The Australian Grand Slam of Surfing will be held in three different locations with the addition of the Tweed Coast in regional NSW to Margaret River Main Break, Western Australia and Gold Coast, Queensland, pending state border restrictions.
The Tweed Coast Pro will be mobile and utilise locations at Cabarita Beach or Fingal Head.
They are broadcast-only 'strike mission' style events, not designed for spectators due to COVID, and will see WSL surfers based in Australia given just three days' notice within the competition window, to travel to each location to compete over two days.
The Australian Grand Slam of Surfing, part of The WSL Countdown Series, will see 24 of Australia's best surfers (12 men and 12 women) go head to head in their respective divisions.
10 male CT competitors and 8 female CT competitors will be on standby for each stop, some looking to compete for the first time in 2020. The remaining spots in each field will be allocated to the highest ranked 2019 non-qualifying Australian surfers or selected wildcard surfers.
The Australian Grand Slam of Surfing will run across the nation between September 1 and October 31 and be broadcast live on worldsurfleague.com, Channel 7 (7Plus), Fox Sports Australia (Kayo) and Sky Sport NZ.
