Tide was near the 0825 1.68 m high when I grabbed the snaps from Manly this morning. It was fat and full, but given how tiny it was, I’m not sure tide was the biggest issue. Waves were weak and struggling to make thigh high on the biggest ones. Plus, it was inconsistent and there were only three or four peaks along the beach. Nice and warm though!
On to Curly and Dee Why for a look…
