Was going to post this in the 'where did you surf today' thread but thought it deserved it's own.

Some amazing waves in Cronulla today, rarely breaking waves such as Phantoms and Osborne Shoal were both breaking and the Island & Point were firing on all cylinders.

Point held their monthly comp with some super steep take off's on the lower tide.

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera set up with me and only an iPhone however I shot some off which I hope shows it as it was.

Be great to see some other shots from up and down the coast added by fellow breezers.

Thanks guys.
Surprised at how few took both Point & Island on to be honest, who knows how good Cape Solander & Voodoo were today too ?
Some clubbies took on Island and it really illustrated the size.
One lost his board from Phantoms (north peak of Island) and it washed through to Point which is amazing that it pushed through a big deep gutter and I can honestly say I've never seen a clean link that far through.
I'm calling it 8-10 feet with 12 feet sets

Massive slabs rolling in most of the night could hear the roar clearly - and was lucky enough to score some absolute howlers , whole bay erupting at Big A (and it was big A) ..... way out to sea probably 10 to 15 kms out they were breaking on the horizon it's that big out deep
Amazing stuff incredible at times hey but sadly the wind is arcing up & hampering things

had one big bastard come in straighter across the point rocks & I have to admit I nearly shat myself how large it welled up so quickly , it broke off to the right a bit & I got over the back somehow that saved my arse from a lot of hurt
But that just meant I had to go on the one behind it no other choice but big hurt otherwise geez

Still some big ones here too.

The Point was ruffled and not itself but The Island was off the hook.

Took many photos which need editing but here's a taste;
