Hello Friends,
Grey skies and the wind moaning through the rigging as Friday got started along the coast. As of 0800 the southerly was 20-28 kts while out a sea the bump was two to three metres but only 5 seconds apart and coming from 200°.
Manly was quite clean at the south end and there were a reasonable number in the water chasing the knee to thigh high sets.
Have a great Friday and keep masking indoors!

A strong high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea is extending a ridge to the northern New South Wales coast. A southerly change affects southern and central parts of the coast today.
