Mid tide
Cronulla's famous shorebreak reef, where a shallow sandbar builds into heavy, wedging peaks that barrel close to the sand. On bigger days it produces some of the heaviest close-out barrels in Australia — bodyboarders made it legendary. Only for competent surfers; the shorebreak itself is genuinely dangerous.
