Whilst sitting at Freshie writing report stuff earlier, I couldn’t help but notice how much white water was bouncing off the cliff line at North Head. So, I headed over the hill to the land of Big Al for a quick look-see…

And what did I see but actual, real live, waves. The swell, which is hardly evident elsewhere seems to be heading straight in to the already well populated sands of fair Manly.

Although I didn’t have time to drive down to the south end, it looked to me as though that was where the real action was. I saw a couple sets that were definitely shoulder high.

The tide was right on high, so things should only improve…

With the wind beginning to blow pretty hard out to sea, I’m thinking it’s only going to get a lot more crowded at one of the few surf options around…

Big enough to catch 'em down the beach at Manly.

Looks like it's roughing up out there...
