PHOTOS | Small swell and poor winds

Its been blowing east-nor-east constantly for days and the waves have got smaller every day.

This morning the wind had a small offshore window so at least it was super clean but it is tiny and there aren't many banks on the beach so every surfer is looking at the same waves and paddling out.

The forecast ahead shows small waves again tomorrow until a 2-3 ft spike on Friday where the Nor east swell settles then kicks again on Sunday when a fresh southerly blows up and the waves grow to 4-6 ft leaving Monday solid but with strong onshores.

I took todays pics yesterday at North Cronulla in the onshore slop and the water shots from this morning when it was clean and small.

In competitive longboarding's return to the World Surf League, Mal riders Soleil Errico and Justin Quintal have won the Cuervo Surf Ranch Classic held under stadium lights at the Californian Surf Ranch.

A WSL specialty event ,the 2018 Women's Longboard World Champion Errico defeated two-time Longboard World Champion Honolua Blomfield in the Final with a 16.30 combined score to Blomfield's 14.26 combined score.

In the mens,2019 Longboard World Champion Quintal took down Kevin Skvarna in the men's Final matchup. The Final saw Quintal earn a 14.33 combined score, defeating Skvarna by 1.43 points.

En route to his win, Quintal also bested surfing legend Joel Tudor in the Semifinal. The Floridian will return home with the overall men's event win, in addition to the Athletic Brewing Company Ride of the Day and White Claw Timed Noseride.

"The focus of this event is really to celebrate the style of longboard surfing," said Devon Howard, WSL Longboard Tour Director. "When you look at shortboard surfing and longboard surfing, there is quite a point of difference beyond the equipment. It is really the approach and the way the surfers ride the wave. Shortboard surfing is very high performance. Longboard surfing involves more finesse and grace."

Over 80 competitors battled it out in the last NSW based Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps pres. by Pic's Peanut Butter for 2020. The event wrapped up at Cronulla on Sunday with competitors being greeted by some good 2-3 ft peaks.

In what was his final junior competition, Fletcher Kelleher (Freshwater) finished with a huge win over Cronulla local competitor Kash Brown in the Under-14 Boys. Kelleher saved his best performance for last, nailing a gigantic 18.50 two-wave heat total to take a convincing win in the final.

Kelleher's scoreline consisted of two near-perfect scores in excess of 9.00 that allowed the talented goofy-footer to gain the upper hand and claim the victory.

Fellow North Steyne Boardriders Club member Ruby Trew claimed an impressive victory in the Under-14 Girls. Trew notched up a solid 16.07 two-wave total to take the win, thanks to a series of impressive snaps and carves-Cronulla's Grace Gosby finished third after a great few early rounds.

Woolooware's Ollie Croft smashed the U 8's being undefeated in Cronulla Boardriders contests this year and Evie Fisher claimed second in the U12 girls-another good result for the locals.
