Sandshoes (Oak Park)

Cronulla, Australia

🪸Sharp reef

YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Very consistent reef right at Oak Park that pits when it sucks up. Visit Sutherland Shire says it works best on a 'north' swell; geometry shows true NE is blocked by the Cronulla peninsula, so read that as ENE-E. It works best on an ENE swell with WSW winds around mid tide. Watch for: reef, water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Sandshoes (Oak Park)?

The Sandshoes (Oak Park) profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Sandshoes (Oak Park)?

The Sandshoes (Oak Park) profile uses wind from WSW (250°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 205° to 295°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

The Sandshoes (Oak Park) scoring profile favors swell from ENE (50° to 130°), a swell-height range of 0.6m to 2.7m, and a reference period of 11s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
