Erosion on Sydney's beaches is nearing a dangerous tipping point, an expert warns, with up to 30 metres stripped off some beaches and another La Niña event expected later this year.

"We've had these back-to-back La Niñas, [we're] maybe looking at a third, and with that, we've seen huge impacts to Sydney's beaches.Coastal erosion at North Cronulla caused by recent wild weather."Rocks are exposed that have never been exposed before," he said.
A spokesperson for Cronulla Shire Council said extensive works were being done to address the erosion.
