Monster Waves Devastate Sydney Beaches and Suburbs

Sydney faces severe damage to iconic beaches and infrastructure after 5.5-meter waves and a spring tide linked to Cyclone Alfred wreak havoc.

Bondi Beach and Cronulla Beach suffered extensive damage, with waves destroying glass doors and the Cronulla promenade.
Several Sydney suburbs experienced flooding, with homes inundated and streets submerged, prompting evacuations.
Authorities have closed multiple beaches as emergency services address the aftermath of the extreme weather event.
Experts suggest the event is connected to the lingering effects of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which struck in March.
Coastal erosion and significant sand loss will make recovery and restoration efforts lengthy and resource-intensive, according to specialists.
