Beginner spot · Beach break

Manly

Sydney, Australia

A city beach break with plenty of peaks and surf schools. Learn at the sheltered southern end.

Swell and wind

This is the swell out at sea, not the surf on the beach. How big it breaks here depends on the swell’s direction and period, the sea floor and the tide. Check a surf report for the size.

Swell: 0.9 m (3 ft) from the SE, 6 s period (windswell), out at sea
Wind: Moderate (choppy), 19 km/h (10 knots) from the E, gusting 45 km/h
Water: 21°C (69°F). Wear a springsuit (or a thin steamer).
