Monday 1 June 2026 - First Day of Winter Clear warm water, lots of sea life. - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY      I arrived at 6:11 to a gold pink horizon. Pilates on the Sebel verandah with Brett Trish Bianca & Rusty. B***y campers. Masters board training morning. Drinks express legends. I swam around the bay with Trish Bianca David Brett & Rusty – so many fish across the bay, the yellow tails were...

Come back swimming! - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY       We had such a small group swimming today after a week of rain and swell. Temperature is warm at 21 degrees and pretty much good visibility. I swam to halfway with Caroline and watched a cormorant fishing through the school of diamond fish . We also saw an eagle ray and yellow tails. A...

Friday 29 May 2026 Wild Wild Water - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY       Not every www refers to the web. Manly sea has been unusually powerful for over a week now and remains a bit dangerous. Some people went in but don’t copy them. They went in because they know what they are in for and can deal with it. Go to Shelly. Go to the Harbour...

Tuesday 26 May 2026. BIG seas - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY      Well the seas were big. And currents are still powerful. Many took the Shelly option instead. That is the magic of this swim area: there are choices for almost all conditions. It is one thing to marvel at swimmers who can manage these conditions – and those smart enough to swim elsewhere...

Pretty autumn conditions - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY       Today’s swim had a few options offered up and still provided beautiful conditions for an autumn morning. Temperature is 19.9 with an air temp of 15 initially. A very low tide, with a very wide rip and some big sets of waves coming down on a shallow sandbank- meant we were advised to ent...

Against the Wind - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY       It’s got quieter. And it’s got better. Brett calls a wave and swim combo, a highly appealing duo. And our gang turns up in force. Surf Life savers, wave addicts, elite and not so elite athletes. The mountains that we moved. Caught like a wildfire out of control A dark start, but as th...

Long shadows, silver seas and calming ocean - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY       En route to Manly I saw decent surf at Queenscliff and waves crashing against the cliff at Deadman’s. I wondered what South Steyne and the Bay were delivering. It seemd pretty OK but I wondered why the lifeguards didn’t have the flags with them while they were settingup the beach. The...

No matter the clouds in the sky - BOLD & BEAUTIFUL SWIM SQUAD MANLY      Good morning from Manly Beach. One thing I’ve learnt about swimming here is that no two days are ever the same, and yet somehow, the magic always is. The Northern Beaches coastline is extraordinary because every beach brings its own personality. Some beaches are wilder than others, some ...
