The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Friday 28 August 2015: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Well it looks pretty certain there will be waves over the weekend and most of next week… Whether or not they are ‘pretty’, or pretty messy,  pretty wild, or pretty awful with wind behind them will depend on the formation, direction and movement of Lows off the coast, and accompanying wind~~~~~~~~~~~ So at this stage

Saturday: should still up around the 2, 2+ metre mark at dead South places, easing back through the day…but

Sunday: another burst of sizeability (is that a word? .. of course it is, I just made it one)… say around 2-3 metres dead South spots

Monday: bigger again..say 3-4 metres at dead South places

Tuesday:  around the 3-4 metre range dead South

Wednesday: down a little, say around 2 metres dead South

Thursday: in the 1-2 metre range East South East, increasing through the day

Friday: might be 2-3, 3-4 metres South East, bit early to say yet.

Water temp has gone back to below 18.

Stay safe if you go in the water…and if you stay out of it.  Know your limitations.
