Hello Friends,

Out of the usual routine this morning, so running a couple hours late with my observations. Never mind, I can report that there are some small, junky and fairly weak waves around the place.

For instance, at around 0730 folks were catching waist high plus sections at the Bower. Tide’s coming in though, so not sure that it would be as interesting now. However, given that the swell hasn’t dropped off, you could still be in with a chance in the peaks all up and down Manly. Quality wasn’t memorable, but if you had a fishy or similar, there were fun moments to be had.

There were far fewer people at Curly and Dee Why by comparison. We’ve got a mix of NE and SE windswell, so both those places ought to be showing more than they were around 0800. If you reckon on knee to waist high with the odd bigger one, you should have a good match between expectation and reality.

From the look of the models, we’re not in for much over the next week. Today’s somewhat ordinary offerings could be about as a good as it gets for the next day or so.

Tides: H @1006, L @1649
