Sunny and waves to be found
Hello Friends,
Another sunny start to the day along with light WNW wind and (as of 0600) 3 metres of 9 second straight south swell. It looked setty but the best exposures should be seeing wave faces into the overhead range. The northern end of Manly beach was picking it up pretty well, but of course the crowds were healthy too. Curly was too big and shutty-downy for anyone to be bothering. Dee Why was getting solid overhead sets along the beach and at the point. A day for experienced riders only!
Tomorrow’s looking pretty hopeful too…
