Another perfect crisp autumn morning in Manly again today but the swell has dropped marginally.  It's warmer in the water than hanging on the beach so you'd be mad to pass up a paddle even with the smaller conditions.   The swell is set to hang around the 2ft mark across the marathon 5 day weekend. There will be plenty of people hitting the road north and south over the weekend so hanging around on a deserted Manly Beach sounds inviting.   I'll be floating around with the camera if there's any action but don't expect an email until next week.  If you get a change drop into the Rope & Anchor Cafe and check out the Sprout Daily prints on the walls while you grab your latte.  All prints are on sale framed or unframed at The Print Shop online.

All eyes on Bells Beach as the fella's paddle out for Round 2.  It's smoking down there this morning and the action lining up today is looking red hot!
