Hello Friends,
Had a look around this morning and can report that before lunch the spot to be was probably Manly. There were definitely waves elsewhere (Dee Why point and beach of course, the Bower, Northy, Mona Vale and even Longy), but the Queensie to North Steyne stretch was the best – and most crowded. I took pictures for an hour or so.

As the sun sets on Friday it seems that we can look forward to a week of showery weather ahead. Late in the day the swell was still a couple metres from the SE at 10-12 sec, so the size down at Dee Why looked pretty similar to this morning. But the Bureau says we can expect it to fade overnight and tomorrow, in addition to being showery, is set to be smaller. The models are looking kinda grim it has to be said. But the Goat is more hopeful, so I’m going with his call because he’s got a peerless record – and it sounds better!
