Another week where the waves have really delivered for Cronulla surfers,from a big overhead easterly swell on the weekend to super clean head high waves for the last few days.
Monday saw 6-8 ft bombs in the morning which ran into Tuesday where conditions were perfect all day-an east swell brushed lightly with an offshore that sat around 4-5ft.
The sand banks are looking pretty good up the beach at Elouera and Wanda but North Cronulla has still got a big gutter running along the shoreline making it almost impossible to surf.
This morning the swell has dropped a little but still sits at around 3 ft so you should make the most of it as its forecast to drop to a 1-2 ft low on Friday,Saturday when a strong westerly change blows through.
A new south swell on Sunday will see the waves pick back up to 3-4 ft for the start of the new week.
I took todays pics on Monday and Tuesday at Elouera and North Cronulla when the swell was still up and breaking on the outside bank.
