There is a buoy that sits in the ocean not far off Manly beach that records the sea water surface temperature each day. The graph is registering 22.9C today. That is pretty incredible given it is nearly the end of May and the wind chill felt like it was coming straight out of the Antarctic!… The contrast in temperatures makes getting in the water feel like a warm bath compared to standing on the beach.

Surf wise, the south swell is still holding in there but the early high tide was not doing much for wave quality. There is the odd wave worth surfing so get amongst it if you can…

Enjoy your day,
