Hello Friends,
Swell? No, sorry. Not this morning at Dee Why. There’s about a metre of 7-sec SE wind bump out at sea according to the MHL buoy at 0500. Wind was light from the SSW as of 0745, but it should be coming around to the easterly quarters as the day warms up. Unfortunately there’s no prospect of an improvement on the surf front today. Should be a pleasant 24 and partly cloudy though.
As he has at least every week for nearly 20 years(!) the Goat has once again applied his deep knowledge to the numbers and forecasts on your behalf. So have a quick read and put yourself wise on the prospects for the coming week.
Go well with your day!

Winds will strengthen and shift northerly on Saturday as the trough approaches from the west.

Fresh to strong west to southwesterly winds are expected on Sunday and Monday after the passage of the front.
