Wild is an understatement this morning and 2026 is making its presence felt.
Happy New Year to everyone who swam, dipped, watched or stayed in bed.
Swimmer barely visible in the onshore waves.
A 1.9 metre high tide just before 7am made things interesting
Speaking of interesting, someone must have had a memorable (or maybe forgetable?) NYE but who am I to judge?
Looking very fresh and happy
Morning punters amazed at the conditions
Quite a few people baved the very rough swell
Nick from South Curly, and there he goes with an unidentified fellow swimmer
And these blokes from the Manly LSC
Mysterious deep ocean creatures washed ashore
Some people walked to Shelly but the path was dangerous. Michele, and Anne E reported getting hammered, and poor Deb ended up with a saturated phone. I hope it’s still working.
Suggestions for swimming today
A sizeable Drinks Express crew braved the conditions, and here they are coming back from Shelly
War stories
David C came back in one piece
The Bommie in action
Conditions look to be easing over the next couple of days but that doesn’t mean they’ll return to the lovely ones we were blessed with earlier this week. Ah well that’s summer for you.
Stay safe everyone.
