The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast reissued Friday 9 June 2017:

Six day outlook for Sydney:

Oh dear… there’s a long weekend coming up, and I know you’re keen to know…

But let me just state at the outset… It’s not my fault!

Quick summary>>> I’d suggest you swallow the pill quickly>>>

It’s not looking very good.

Showers, SE/ S wind most days, and surf that would be pleasant enough if it weren’t for the fact that’ll it be windblown rubbish at places open to the South, and the short period won’t be enough for much to swing around into sheltered southern corners.

Looking on the bright side:  It will stop raining and blowing and the sun will come out…

sometime in the future.

And who knows.. Lows are notoriously changeable, so the wind might ease off or blow offshore, the waves smooth out, and the sun come out sooner than expected…so dream on. 🙂

In the meantime, be flexible like the reed and bend with the wind. There are always other things to do.

Surf

Saturday: somewhere the 1-2 metre range South East, and windblown, at open beaches

Sunday: ditto, again

Monday: in the 1-2 metre range South East, and windblown…

Tuesday: at this stage looks like around 1 metre or so South East, windblown

Wednesday, Thursday: ditto at places open to dead South swell.

Have fun!
