I'll be attending a 2 day conference at Brighton Le Sands and because they don't lock us up until 9am, I thought I may be able to have a look at Cronulla and possibly jump in for a quick and dirty surf.

Problem is, I know bugger all about the area, like where is the most accessible break and can I park close to it

Anyone know much about the area

Used to go there a lot, only surfed on a lid thougH, so can't vouch for a longboard break.

Mostly went to North Cronulla, or Eloura. Both got big, free carparks and it's not to far to the water. It's also about 30 minutes to Brighton in peak hour, at least.

Just along the beaches Obct. You can park from Wanda right down to North Cronulla. If the winds Northeast you would be better off up north around Wanda.

Lots of good waves around there - the Point can get really good - its right at the southern end of the beach. The crew out there can sometimes be a little unfriendly from memory but I am sure you will be fine - its a few yrs since I have surfed down there. Lots of peaks up and down the beach on their day. There are also some great waves at the northern end - one reef break is an absolute beauty but you may be pushed for time to get out there.

I can also see you out at Shark Island carving it up Ian!!!! Go Hard!!

yes that is the one I was referring to - love that spot. Only surfed it a handful of times but loved it. Used to date a chick from Gymea Bay so had to spend sometime down that way.

I went to the bra but it wasn't worth getting wet so I just drank coffee beside Botany Bay and watch jets land with the sunrise in the background.

Now I've got to go to dinner with all the delegates and clients and pretend I'm interested in something other than lonboarding.

If I get off at the promised 4 tomorrow, I may be in with another chance.

I waited until after the coffee to make a getaway but I'm pretty sure the Sargent at arms wasn't pissed enough not to notice I was doing a runner.

If he saw me, I'll be wearing a hefty charity fine tomorrow

I'm off to to Nulla in the morning. Family business so no boards or surfing planed. Might have time for a swim hopefully. How long are you there OBCT?

Not long, I refer you to a previous post of mine relating to medical conditions of a gastronomic nature.

My gut and gob have had their turn, I'm assuming my bowel and arse hole will want to get in on the fun some time today.

That'll give me something to look forward to won't it?
