The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted by: goat on September 20th, 2012Surf forecast issued Thursday 20 September 2012: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Sorry for the temporary lack of forecasts – I’ve been recovering from a sinus operation (to correct problems over the years resulting from my board hitting me in the face breaking my nose multi-decades ago! ) and I really haven’t cared what the surf was like!
Anyhoo on the mend now, fingers crossed…
Wind’s been cold blowing across the cold water but there seem to have been a few waves around…. which look like continuing in a variable sort of way, varying from day to day and on the day… Overall… (but don’t hold me to it if it’s like that when you get there ![]()
Friday: overall sort of say in the 1-2 metre range East
Saturday: ditto South East
Sunday: around 1 metre or more North East
Monday: 1-2 metres South East
Tuesday: starting to come up from the South but with a fair bit of SW, so say 1-2 at places open to the South later
Wednesday around 1-2 metres East South East
Water temp’s a cool 18.
Have fun! Keep smiling!
