The waiting period for the Red Bull Cape Fear runs out on August 1st and with little on the charts it appears the much anticipated comp won't be held. Temper your disappointment with these photos.

Ten years ago the view would've been somewhat similar: a double overhead reef, a few ugly ledges, and a smiling nude nut falling from the sky. Last Thursday Jughead fell from the skies again and Swellnet cornered the NSW Central Coast surfer for a chat.

Dom Wills took a novel approach to Cape Solander during yesterday's east swell. On two seperate waves he put his crack to the wax and rode goatboat style.

It was recently bought to our attention that it'd been almost a week since we'd run any shots of Cape Solander. Feeling duly chastised we called on our fave Solander shooter, Charlie Straumeitis.

Potter Point is its geographical name, which is a lot more humdrum than it's adopted moniker.

Who knows how many barrels he's racked up during this recent run of swell? One thing's for sure: most people rocking into the Cape Solander carpark over the last two weeks would've seen Mark Mathews familiar tube style on show. He's been a glutton alright. But it hasn't come without the odd bit of due-paying and after a swag of clean barrels Charlie S catches Mathews taking a lip clean to the back of the head.

Earlier this week, under an onslaught of south and south-east swell, the reefs near Botany Bay heads were on the pump. Over the course of three days the usual crew - assorted Bra Boys, Hippo, Makua Rothman, Herb McLean, Matt Griggs, Kipp Caddy - stalled and weaved as the waves unloaded on the shallow shelfs.

Been plenty of swell in Sydney so the regular rock jockeys have been visitng their regular rockshelfs. Earlier this week photographer Charlie Straumeitis caught Ian Lloyd, Sam Mac, Boogs and a fella that looks uncannily like Errol Flynn at one of the more exposed stretches of coast. Wasn't classic but the odd throaty one still belched over the ledge.

Let me hear nothing about saturation coverage and over exposure when viewing these photos. It's Cape Solander, it's pumping, and you're sitting at your desk. What else are you gonna do?
Ox, Boogs, Lloydy and Brad Hampson get among it on Monday. You were probably sitting at your desk then too...

The Cronulla beaches are really one continuous beach that stretches five kilometres from Boat Harbour to North Cronulla. The beaches are often maligned by surfers though that may be more due to the abundance of quality reefs nearby than the way they break, a theory reinforced by the last two days of waves.

PS: Dig the kneelo bottom turn in shot 10!
