The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 8 January 2015: Eight day outlook for Sydney:

About 5 more days of Noreasters forecast (and NE windswell) so you’ll just have to look hard, be selective with tides and not too selective with wind, be patient, chill out, go for a swim, enjoy the nice weather and water. It’s summertime …

Ideal conditions for this Sunday’s Avalon Beach Surf Swim.  Entry details and review here…
