Went for a splash at Manly around 0900. Wasn’t too crowded and there were some sets into the head high range. But they were often rather soft and fat and slow. As the tide dropped, the crowd ramped up and the waves got a little more oomph. South wind was providing a little chop though. Seemed to be waves from far south Steyne to Queenscliff and even a few little ones for the crew out at the Bower.

Coming back to Collaroy, I had a quick squizz at Curly and Dee Why. Only a few people up the north end of Curly and the southerly, though not strong, was into it. Dee Why was kinda messy and ordinary looking, but there seemed to be a few little ones at the point.

Had a peak at the Collaroy Narrabeen stretch as well. Still some waves there too, with the southern extent being the pick (but not Collaroy itself). Pretty minimal numbers in the water too, but the wind, as the pics show, was a factor.

Huge amount of weed on the inside.

Little one rolls into the corner out of the wind.

SUP rider pulls into one of the bigger ones this morning.

Fair number of folk and not a lot of size at the Bower this morning.

Not too many in the water around midday and a few to be had.

South of the Gardens, a little peak unfolds.

Ripping a nice little cutty mid-morning.

Glassy and overcast on high tide.
