Hello Friends,
Had to be out and about on errands for the first time since getting home 3+ weeks ago. Can report that Manly was microscopic and that Curly and Dee Why weren’t notably better. Another stunning day though and there were heaps of people ambling along the beaches.
Out at sea the swell was .75 of a metre and coming from the east at 11 seconds. Wind was a light but steady SW under brilliant blue skies. Apart from Queenscliff and North Narrabeen lagoon entrances, water was rated as good for recreation. Temp is sitting on 21C.
Wind looks like going south to SE tomorrow and the Bureau is warning of deceptive swell conditions.
