Lumpy and bumpy in the 1-2 metre range breaking all over the place at beaches open to the South,  like say Bondi.  Smaller at more sheltered spots like Collaroy. Not many takers in the water so far. Not helped by […]

There were waves all along the Manly stretch this […]

Soft swell on a sunny morning

Hello Friends, Made the Manly run this morning and stopped for a look at Freshie on the way home. The wind was just beginning to texture it up, but there were a few soft little waves coming in. Long waits at the north end, a bit bigger and slightly more consistent at the south. Next […]

Near flat everywhere
