The Goat’s Christmas Surf Forecast and TG’s Christmas Message

Surf forecast issued Thursday 22 December 2016: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Summer has arrived and just in time for Christmas… I can already taste the turkey, smell the ham, savour the wine, and already feel I’ve eaten too much pudding!  ( I heard that person who said you look like you have already!)…

Lots of balmy Noreaster days, and surf  to have fun in…(or, in which to have fun, if you talk like that)~~~~~~~~~~~~~

which is what surfing should be all about.

Friday: down an little from this afternoon’s little uptick …1-2 metre range lowish end from the South East

Saturday: up a little in the 1-2 metre range East South East

Sunday Chrissy Day: 1-2 metre range East North East

Monday: down a bit in the 1-2 metre range North East

Tuesday: 1-2 metre range North East

Wednesday: bigger windswell (because of… the wind) 1-2 metre range North East

Thursday: 1-2 metre range East.

TG’s Christmas Message for 2016

Have you all been good???  …………I can’t hear you!!!…………(muffled sound through speakers)…..

Well you’d have better, cause Santa knows all…

And you’d better stay good, cause he’s on his way…

Look! >>>> (who said he’s not real?!!?)

Have a safe and Happy Christmas.

In the Air

Mostly clear skis for Santa to find his way to Sydney (might be a different story in The Kimberleys and NT)

In the Ocean

Water temp is currently around 21… Nice, if he wants to dip his toe in before heading off elsewhere… but I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts to cool after a few days of Nor Easters, say by Wednesday…
