Plenty of swell around the traps this morning.
Looks like its going to get bigger this afternoon as well. Nuisance
SE onshore winds were completely butchering it earlier today. With
forecasted NE winds tomorrow, best wait until then…
Today’s report comes from Manly, a beach normally
best suited to blustery South East winds and a decent swell. Cross
shore winds (bit of east in it) weren’t doing the surf any favors.
Still a few surfable peaks towards the southern end. Pretty junkie
stuff. Very few crew out. Waves were up around the 4-5 foot and
didn’t see much happening out at the Bower. High tide 9:10am, Low
tide 3:36pm. Max temp of 21 degrees today. Nice place that Manly…even
the attendant at the service station asked How I’m doing? with a
smile. Freaked me out.
Soul Riders: Combo Surf flicks are on tonight at the
North Bondi RSL, 7:30pm, "Shelter" +
"Change the Subject" for a Fiva.
Get out the aviator sunnies, the scooped boardies, and the beaver
tail wet suit – it’s the inaugural Beach Road Hotel Single
