The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 January 2016: Eight day outlook for Sydney:

Southerly’s come through and it’s cooling down a little…but it’ll warm up again later on as the next weather system comes through.  Not expecting much surf to result despite the blowy conditions. Mostly short period windblown surf at places open to the south for the next few days, but there should be medium to small waves all week.

A variety of winds following the weekend should provide opportunities at various places. Be flexible… Bend with the breeze like the bamboo, grasshopper… If you don’t raise your expectations too high you won’t be disappointed 🙂

For you keen swimmers..Looks like it’ll be OK for the annual Avalon Beach surf swim on Sunday. Details and registration here:
