TG’s Surf Forecast from Afar

Surf forecast issued Thursday 10 August 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

From the wilds of Mullumbimby on the Far North Coast where TG has his long range over the horizon binoculars out, to see what’s coming your way and his…

Managed to jag a little wave at Byron yesterday before the swell started to fade up here. Water is quite cool here at around 19, which is little different to Sydney.

The weather looks like being High on Highs over coming days, warm and N NW winds up to Wednesday when it’ll be Hot.  Similar up here on the coast, but ever so slightly inland it’s much hotter…around 27 in Mullum town centre today, but cool overnight with early mornings of around 2 with an apparent temp of say zero.

Surf prospects down there over coming days look a little better than up here, but hey a change is as good as a holiday, and TG is having a change of scene and a holiday.

Sydney:

Friday: a slight and brief uptick from today, in the lower regions of the 1-2 metre range as the swell direction turns more South East

Saturday: down to around 1 metre or so at dead South spots

Sunday: similar

Monday: up a little into the 1-2 metre range at dead South places

Tuesday: ditto

Wednesday: down the around 1 metre or so South East

Thursday: 1 metre or less at dead South spots.

Up here:

Similar but pretty much dead South swell which will take it straight past the points that I like. Doesn’t matter.

Water temp in Sydney is around 19, and similar at Byron…Warmer water off the coast just needs to swirl in.
