Forecast
As of:
W/SW offshore wind is the clean lane, southeast swell is the core trigger, east can also work, and the beach can hold waves across all tides.
Rips and rocks are the main hazards, and South Steyne can get more advanced when the swell builds.
Use the ferry or bus into Manly and expect a busy lineup.
The Corso links the ferry wharf straight to the beach, and the main surf sections run Queenscliff, North Steyne, and South Steyne.
Beachfront parking is available, but it fills quickly, and the council runs year-round lifeguards.
