The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 12 April 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney: There’s been a bit of hot air blowing our way from the inland of the Continent – Did you just say: ‘There must be a political convention on out there!’ … ‘I didn’t know they’d moved Canberra’ – Dear oh dear… Of course […]

Hello Friends, Swell has dropped a fair amount overnight, but there are definitely chest plus sets at the more focused locations. Wind was light north early but will pick up later to 15-20 kts. Swell was around the 1.5 metre mark at 12 seconds from the SE and there was some smaller NE component as […]

Maroubra

Friend and I picked up a mate from airport this morning and have stopped in Maroubra for a bite. There are waves.

Flabby and tiny Tuesday morning

Hello Friends, Nothing much happening at the beach this morning. There were a couple of folks on SUPs up toward No Mans when I checked for the first time at around 0640. It looked to be maybe knee high on sets. Surface conditions were lightly choppy. Wind was light from the SW but should drift […]

Micro Monday

Hello Friends, If you found waves yesterday morning, you should look there again today. The swell is a touch smaller and coming more from the ENE than east now. So, expect ankle to knee with maybe the occasional waist bomb at the optimally aligned stretches. Wind was light west under clear skies for the early […]

Small and choppy Sunday

Hello Friends, Cloudy with sunny breaks this morning. Wind was out of the SW to WSW at 4-6 kts as of 0830.  As the day warms up it should come around to the N-NE. There were knee to waist plus waves along the beach and occasionally at the point. Quality didn’t look amazing as it […]

Knee to waist and a bit messy

Hello Friends, Rather junky and bumpy everywhere this morning thanks to a light but steady SE-ESE breeze all night. Surf size is knee to waist and maybe a bit on the biggest ones. The MHL buoy was picking up 1.5 m of 11 second south to SSE swell but I have to say that it […]

Small and lightly southerly early

Hello Friends, Not much going on at the beach this morning, but there are weak little lines producing the odd knee high to maybe waist-ish set for keen punters. The period hasn’t changed much since this time yesterday. It’s still about 10 seconds, but the direction has gone more east while the average height at […]

Waves ???  Well there were pleasant waves at the right places, right tides if you were able… I’m tired after being able to enjoy it all, and I […]

Clean little waves this morning

Hello Friends, Although the Bureau says we have a 50% chance of a shower during the morning hours, as of 0700 skies were largely clear over the beaches and wind was coming lightly from the NW.  Tide was coming off the 0540 low and heading toward a moderate 1.3 m high at 1140. As the […]
